New York - Sony (NYSE: SNE) plans to launch a new Web series, "Angel of Death," across a range of websites before later offering the complete series on DVD, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The ten eight-minute episodes, to be introduced weekly and supported by advertising, were produced for just over $1 million.

The company told The Journal it will release four to six of its direct-to-DVD titles in the same manner next year, while also seeking distribution for the titles as TV movies of the week across international markets.

"If you can figure out some ways to plug it into traditional business models, spend a few bucks, maybe you can make high-quality work for the Internet," Sony Pictures Television president Steve Mosko told The Journal.
