Ron Howard is a critically-acclaimed and Academy Award-winning director.

The Boys star Karl Urban has revealed that the show ran out of fake sperm while filming the latest episode, ‘Herogasm’.The highly anticipated instalment, which aired on Amazon Prime Video on Friday (June 24), promised to deliver more explicit content than usual, predominately through the means of a giant superhero orgy.Numerous scenes saw vast amounts of fake semen being blasted at the characters, and, according to Urban, it didn’t take long for the show’s production crew to exhaust its supply.On whether the cast were surprised to see such content make it into the show, the actor told Digital Spy: “Listen, I think that every single season you get to a juncture where you’re like: ‘How can we possibly get away with this?’ And this season, it became pretty apparent that everything was dialled up.“There’s more action, more drama, more heart. And I think it pushed all the departments.

The Boys has been renewed for a fourth season by Amazon, just over a week after the third series dropped.Based on the comic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, the show has been ordered for another season according to Deadline, although it is unclear when it will be released.In a statement, show creator Eric Kripke said: “Speaking for the cast and crew, we’re so grateful to Sony, Amazon, and most of all the fans for embracing the show and allowing us to make more.“We’re thrilled to continue Butcher and the Boys’ fight against Homelander and the Seven, as well as comment on the insane world we’re living in. Also, this is the first time in history that exploding genitalia has led to further success.”Since the main show was released, Amazon has ordered two spin-offs from The Boys.

The Boys will branch further from the comics in future seasons.Based on the comic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, the Amazon series has remained faithful to the source material’s spirit and the overall story – with some contemporary changes for characters like Stormfront and in certain plot beats.Speaking about the show’s future, Urban, who plays Billy Butcher, said show creator Eric Kripke is “not a fan” of how the comic series ended – suggesting that the show’s trajectory moving beyond season three “will be different”.“We all have so much fun making The Boys,” Urban told NME about the show beyond the third season. “The possibilities are endless.“I think that Eric Kripke has a very definitive story in his mind, and I don’t think that he has any intention of outstaying his welcome.

The Boys have reacted to an extremely gory scene involving a penis in the first episode.The first three episodes of the Amazon Prime Video show’s third season dropped over the weekend and one particular moment has had many people talking.The scene takes place at a house party thrown by Termite (Brett Geddes), with the supe going into a backroom with his lover. He then uses his powers to shrink down and go inside his lover’s penis.However, he’s under the influence of cocaine and sneezes halfway up, causing him to go back to his full size while still inside the penis, creating a gross explosion of body parts.Fans have shared their reactions to the moment on social media.

Launching its third season a week after fellow streaming giant Netflix dropped “Stranger Things,” Prime Video’s “The Boys” has a similar problem as the kids from Hawkins.
