Do they get the bread?’ My wife had no idea why I was asking this stuff. I started scheming.“If I got somebody to knock me off, death by misadventure, [my kids] would get the insurance.

Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina and Gen V, has died aged 27.The news was shared by the actor’s publicist yesterday (March 30), who confirmed that the actor was killed in a motorcycle crash.The statement read: “On behalf of the family and his representatives, it is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Chance Perdomo’s untimely passing as a result of a motorcycle accident.”While details of the crash are yet to be announced, CBS reported that the publicist said “no other individuals were involved”.The actor most recently appeared in Gen V – a spin-off to Prime Video series The Boys. In this, Perdomo played Andre, a student at a university founded by Vought International, where superheroes are permitted to train their powers.Following news of Perdomo’s death, the producers of the show shared a statement saying they were “devastated” by news of the actor’s “sudden passing”.The statement read: “We can’t quite wrap our heads around this.

The Boys.A synopsis of the new season reads: “In season four, the world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power.“Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son and his job as The Boys’ leader.

Prime Video’s “The Boys” franchise, a satirical and deconstructivist look at superheroes, just keeps going and going. There’s the spinoff series, “Gen V,” which season four of “The Boys” picks up from, and there’s also a new Mexico-set version of the series coming from Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal, both of whom will guest star on that spinoff.

The Boys, is actually the child of two movie stars, with his father being Dennis Quaid (The Parent Trap).However, in a recent interview with Glamour, Ryan pushed back on the claims that her son might be a child of nepotism privilege, given his parents’ success in the industry.The Sleepless In Seattle actor said: “Jack is really talented. He’s more of a natural than I’ll ever be. That nepo stuff is so dismissive of his work ethic, his gifts, and how sensitive he is to the idea of his privilege.”Quaid, who made his movie debut in 2012’s The Hunger Games, acting opposite Jennifer Lawrence and Stanley Tucci among other famous faces, has always had a gift, according to his mother.“I remember seeing him in a middle school production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” she said.

As we have recently said goodbye to Season 1 of “Gen V” and are approaching Season 4 of “The Boys,” it’s obvious that Prime Video’s superhero franchise is stronger than ever before. So, the studio is doing what every Hollywood studio would do with a surprise hit franchise under its belt—expansion.

Prime Video‘s hit series The Boys is reportedly in development.According to a report from Deadline Hollywood, the spinoff will be set in Mexico, with Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal set to executive produce. The two are also reportedly considering acting in the series, though they won’t be playing major roles, Deadline says sources claims.Blue Beetle writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer will reportedly executive produce and write for the spinoff, which will be based on The Boys comics that take place in Mexico.

Gen V has proved to be one of the more successful spin-offs in recent years.Led by showrunners Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, The Boys spin-off follows the lives of super-powered students at the Vought International-owned Godolkin University.Gen V stars a fresh cast of relative newcomers, including Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Maddie Phillips and Asa Germann.Amazon confirmed the show would return for another season on October 19. Check out the announcement video featuring the cast below.Attention all God U students, Gen V is officially coming back for Season ✌️ pic.twitter.com/cyUuAPq97k— GEN V (@genv) October 19, 2023“We couldn’t be happier to make a second season of Gen V,” Fazekas and executive producer Eric Kripke said in a joint statement.

Gen V, the spinoff series from The Boys, has been renewed for a second season by Amazon Prime Video.The announcement comes just ahead of the finale of the first season, which is due on November 3.“Expanding the universe of The Boys with a series as bold as Gen V has been an incredible journey for us and our wonderful partners at Sony,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios.Attention all God U students, Gen V is officially coming back for Season ✌️ pic.twitter.com/cyUuAPq97k— GEN V (@genv) October 19, 2023“From our first conversation with showrunners Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, along with Eric Kripke, Evan Goldberg, and Seth Rogen, we knew Gen V would push the boundaries. Their unapologetic approach is exactly what audiences love.”“We couldn’t be happier to make a second season of Gen V,” said Fazekas and executive producer Kripke.

The Boys is one of Prime Video’s greatest series on its platform.So it makes sense that the Amazon corporate overlords would mine the original comic from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson for some way to extend the brand.Gen V (★★★★☆), a show about America’s most prestigious superhero college, makes it clear through blood, insanity, and pitch-black humor that this is definitely a spin-off of The Boys.Following a dangerous awakening of her power to control blood, Marie (Jaz Sinclair) gets the opportunity to leave her orphanage for kids with powers for Goldolkin University, a major step forward in her goal to become the first black woman on The Seven.When she arrives, Marie meets her roommate, Emma (Lizze Broadway), who is also a famous YouTuber, Little Cricket, where she showcases her ability to shrink.Together, the two meet the school’s top ten students, including the superpowered Golden Boy (Patrick Schwarzenegger), his mind-controlling girlfriend Cate (Maddie Phillips), bi-gender Jordan (London Thor and Derek Luh), and Andre (Chance Perdomo), the magnetic son of a famous alumni.While Marie’s initial hopes seem fruitful, Gen V constantly reminds you that this is the world of The Boys, almost too much so. Every happy moment is bookended by an insane and usually violent moment of trauma with some zinger or depraved joke.

The Boys spin-off Gen V has sparked debate online over a reference to Johnny Depp’s trial against Amber Heard.In June last year, a jury ruled in favour of Depp after he sued his ex-wife for defamation over a 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post. Heard initially stood to pay Depp $8.35million (£6.82million) in damages, but this was reduced to $1million (£817,730) after she decided to settle an appeal in December.In the third episode of Gen V, Tek Knight (Derek Wilson) visits Godolkin University for his true crime show.

If Prime Video’s “The Boys‘” slow submission to superhero franchising’s demands over the course of its four years on streaming has left your stomach roiling, slam a shot of Pepto-Bismol and relax; it’s part of the routine. Superhero projects are nothing if not designed for easy spin-offs, an expectation codified in contemporary television and movies 10 years ago when “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” premiered on ABC and initiated the second phase of superhero Content™’s ruthless campaign against all other extant forms of visual storytelling.

If Prime Videos subscribers thought “The Boys” was raunchy and messed up, wait ’til you see what “Gen V” has in store for audiences.

The Boys fans are “missing the point entirely” if they support Homelander.The New Zealand actor – who plays patriotic yet sadistic superhero Homelander in the comic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson – said that he’s surprised the character still has fans in viewers.“There’s a very strange thing that’s happened with the character, though he is clearly not a good guy,” the actor recently told The LA Times.“A lot of people have glommed onto him.

As we close the chapter on another year in film, it’s hard not to recognize just how omnipresent the superhero film genre has become.

Sure, it’s been growing steadily over the past decade, but 2022, despite a couple of years of COVID slowdowns, has been the biggest year yet for the genre, especially when you consider the huge number of projects arriving on TV screens.

“The Boys” has not only become one of the smartest superhero satires to ever grace a screen, but the series is, without a doubt, one of the most popular shows on a streaming service right now. And in this world of IP dominance, you better believe Amazon knows that the best way to handle a runaway hit like “The Boys” is to start with the spinoffs.

The Boys creator Eric Kripke has addressed the misogynistic hate that’s been levelled against one of the show’s cast members, Erin Moriarty.Posting to Twitter today (September 8), Kripke called Moriarty’s critics “trolls”, and wrote that the treatment of the actor — who plays the role of Annie January across the show’s three seasons — is “causing pain to real people with real feelings.”“This is literally the opposite of the show’s fucking message,” Kripke said, “Be kind. If you can’t be kind, then eat a bag of dicks, fuck off to the sun & don’t watch [The Boys], we don’t want you.”Hi trolls! One, this is literally the opposite of the show's fucking message.

“The Boys” is a superhero show that loves to poke fun and roast superhero tropes. However, over the past couple of seasons, particularly the most recent Season 3, the show has also turned its satirical eye to the current political climate, including highlighting white supremacy, fascism, police brutality, and the MeToo movement.

The Boys star Erin Moriarty has spoken out about the abuse she’s received from the Amazon show’s “misogynistic fans”.On Tuesday (September 6) the actress shared a fan-written article, titled “#IStandWithStarlight?: The Betrayal of Erin Moriarty by The Boys fans”, that pointed out the hateful comments directed at both her and her superhero character Starlight.Written by Instagram user @butcherscanary, the post read: “The harassment feels all the worse given the context of her role as Starlight on the show, a woman silenced and sexualised, treated like a celebrity canvas for others to project onto rather than a human being with her own thoughts and feelings.“But Annie is fictional, and Erin is not. The torment doesn’t end for her when the credit starts, because there is no switch off.”The post continued: “Whilst I’m sure her male colleagues have endured unjust criticism, the obsession with her looks and the extent of objectification is unmatched.”In the caption of the post, Moriarty said she felt “silenced” and “dehumanised” by the constant criticisms of her character and her appearance.A post shared by anna (@butcherscanary)“I do feel paralysed,” she began.

With Season 4 of The Boys in production, fans are very excited about the news and rumors that have been hearing. One of the most recent is that Jeffery Dean Morgan will be in Season 4. Who he will be playing is still a mystery as well with how deep of a role he will get, but being such good friends with the showrunner it is sure to be an interesting role.

, which is already back in production on season 4, is adding Jeffrey Dean Morgan to the cast. The hit Prime Video series about corrupt superheroes will reunite the actor with executive producer and showrunner Eric Kripke, after he first worked with the creator on.  While details about his role haven’t been revealed, Morgan took to Twitter to share his excitement.

The Boys for Season 4 in a mystery role.Probably best known for his role as Negan in The Walking Dead, Morgan becomes the latest in an increasingly long line of former Supernatural stars to join the Amazon superhero series (per Variety), following Jensen Ackles (Dean) and Jim Beaver (Robert Singer).Morgan is currently starring on the 11th and final season of The Walking Dead, and is set to appear alongside Lauren Cohan, reprising her Walking Dead role as Maggie, on the upcoming spinoff series Isle Of The Dead.The actor has previously shown public enthusiasm for joining the show, going as far back as 2020 when The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke seemingly offered him a part in the third season.In a heartbeat!— Jeffrey Dean Morgan (@JDMorgan) January 16, 2020Last month (July 12), Kripke revealed that the final scene in The Boys season three was inspired by a quote from Donald Trump – season three spoilers ahead, of course.In the closing scene, Homelander (Anthony Starr) introduces his superpowered son Ryan to his supporters. When a protester yells and throws something at Ryan, Homelander kills him by splitting his head in half using his laser eyes.Speaking to Deadline, Kripke said: “It’s interesting that you bring up the quote about shooting a guy on Fifth Avenue because that was the original inspiration for that scene.

Ever since The Boys premiered on Amazon Prime Video showrunner Eric Kripke has been very open about wanting his close friend Jeffrey Dean Morgan to join the show. Kripke wants Morgan to join the show as it would reunite the old friends and some Supernatural veterans in Jenson Ackles who Played Dean Winchester and Jeffrey Dean Morgan who played John Winchester. Luckily for Eric Kripke, the feeling was mutual but Morgan’s other shows like The Walking Dead and the pandemic also got in the way.

With rumors flying about Invinicable season two possibly coming this year, it has also been thrown around by fans that a crossover between Invincible and The Boys could be something to watch for. From a fans’ point of view, it would not be too hard to pull off as they both air on Prime Video and they are both about super hearo that are very very R-rated. “During a press tour for his new film Nope, Invincible star Steven Yeun gave a one-word answer when we asked about the possibility — “nope.” And yeah, it was part of a gag he was doing with ComicBook.com’s Chris Killian, but it’s also one that he seemed slightly more introspective (or maybe just confused) about than the other questions.” according to Comic Book.com.Let’s say there was a crossover, what would that look like? Here is how it could possibly go.

Scream.The actor, who played Richard Kirsch in this year’s Scream reboot, shared pictures from the event in cosplay as the masked killer on social media.“Got to walk the floor a bit at #SDCC,” Quaid wrote on Twitter yesterday (July 24).

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 star Patrick Schwarzenegger has described the forthcoming spinoff series as “Euphoria meets superheroes.”The actor, who has been cast in a secret role in the still-untitled project, recently teased the storyline on Variety’s Just for Variety podcast.“This set is really fun, and there’s just a loosey-goosey comedy,” the actor said of his experience filming, before revealing he originally auditioned for the role of Homelander in the flagship series.Schwarzenegger also said he had shown his dad, Arnold, some photos from the set of The Boys spinoff to which he replied: “What the fuck are you filming?”Meanwhile, The Boys was renewed for a fourth season last week.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.

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.
