Spinoffs of successful series are almost as old as network TV itself — the first ones premiered in the late 1950s.

On the broadcast networks alone, the 2023-24 season will feature 21 scripted series that are part of a franchise, defined as a show that has spun off another series set in the same world or is itself a spinoff.

Well, here we go again. One of the best superhero content of the current times, The Boys is back with a brand new season and this time it is even more crazier than ever before. Created by Eric Kripke and based on a comic book series of the same name, the superhero dark comedy series follows a group of vigilantes as they go up against morally bankrupt superheroes led by a maniacal Superman-like supe Homelander.

In a recent interview with Febri, director Keiichi Sato shed some insights into the creative process behind the currently airing Go! Go! Loser Ranger! anime adaptation.
During the interview Keiichi revealed that he drew inspiration from the American satirical superhero series ‘The Boys‘ when it came to adapting Negi Haruba’s Go! Go! Loser Ranger! manga into an anime, as he desired to capture the dark and complex world of anti-heroes.
Image source: Febri
He highlighted the prevalence of anti-hero themes in both domestic and international media landscapes, citing The Boys as a prominent example. He noted that Go! Go! Loser Ranger! with its premise of a protagonist from the villain side challenging a justice hero with hidden darkness, resonates with the themes explored in The Boys.
This combined with the manga’s surprising plot twists, convinced Sato to infuse the tone of the series for the anime.

Actor Denzel Washington and filmmaker Spike Lee have been known to work together on films like Malcolm X and Inside Man. Their frequent collaborations helped form a close bond between the two. But there’s another well-known actor who Lee feels he’s bonded with on a slightly similar level.

Washington and Lee have one of cinema’s most notable actor-director relationships. The pair first came together in the 1990 film Mo’ Better Blues. Lee immediately pictured Washington in the lead role of the film after seeing how women responded to the Oscar-winner.
“Before I wrote one word of Mo’ Better Blues, I knew I wanted Denzel Washington to play the lead,” Washington once told Entertainment Weekly. “In the fall of ’88, Denzel was starring on Broadway in Checkmates with Ruby Dee and Paul Winfield.

The first full-length trailer for Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Three has just hit (via Toonado.com), and it teases what looks to be a high-stakes finale to this animated trilogy (and the Tomorrowverse as we know it).
With the Anti-Monitor on the loose, a whole host of heroes assemble to save the Multiverse, but it looks like that will be easier said than done when they also have Lex Luthor to contend with. Several other villains are also spotted, including The Joker, Scarecrow, and Two-Face.
In terms of cameos, the trailer ends with another Batman: The Animated Series tease. Batman Beyond also appears, but perhaps the biggest surprise comes when we return to the world of the Super Friends!

Daly opened up about a host of things, but chief among them was the topic of why we need the series to come back, and why it needs the same treatment as X-Men: The Animated Series.

Superman: The Animated Series is unlike the shows that audiences have gotten used to nowadays. With a slew of films and shows looking to depict an increasingly violent and “realistic” superhero universe, Daly revealed why the world could use a show like Superman: The Animated Series right about now.

Today, there are so many superhero movies and TV shows that the genre as a whole needs a rethink and a new approach. Peacemaker, The Boys, Gen V and Invincible have already ironically and brutally poked fun at the absurdity of superheroes.
About a year ago, Emma Moran from Northern Ireland wrote a script for a typical sitcom about young friends in London, submitted it to a competition and won. Then, quite unexpectedly for the debutant, the series was ordered by Disney+ and a superhero topic was added.
Even before the premiere of the first season, the project was renewed for a second season. Extraordinary was 2023’s biggest comedy gem and deservedly received a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

We've had one trailer already for the fourth season of wild superhero satire The Boys, but with the launch a little more than a month away, the latest look at the show's return is on hand to make sure we don't forget how much blood is in a human body. Because, as per usual, there is plenty of human claret on display in the latest promo for the series…
In Season 4, Claudia Doumit's Victoria Neuman is creeping ever closer than ever to the Oval Office, but the real power behind the (potential) throne is Homelander (Anthony Starr), who has his eyes on yet more control as his own popularity surges despite his crimes. Oh, and he's not above unleashing the rest of The Seven as a set of wrathful gods enforcing his twisted vision for the nation (and the world).
Things are far from rosy for poor old Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), though,...

When it debuted last year, “Gen V” seemingly continued the strong success of “The Boys” franchise on Prime Video. The series quickly was given a Season 2 pickup and everything seemed to be coming up roses for the cast and crew. That all changed tragically, when news broke of actor Chance Perdomo’s death just a couple of months ago. Now, the series has to commence filming on Season 2 with a lot more questions than the producers anticipated.

Comic book universes can venture far from their core storylines in a bid to attract more viewers (*cough* Marvel) despite producing content that grows increasingly less relevant. Creators expect an audience to continually binge on the newest adaptation or sequel to get the slightest morsel of a new character or narrative twist that may or may not ever materialize later on. Thankfully “The Boys” showrunner Eric Kripke is well aware of that when talking about the upcoming season of the hit series.

Now, building on the success of The Boys, the streaming service released a spin-off series titled Gen V back in September 2023.

The loss of actor Chance Perdomo in March from a motorcycle accident was devastating to fans. Such a young talent Perdomo was, the impact of his death was felt throughout the industry. It, too, brought up the question of what would become of his character on The Boys spin-off Gen V. Now, a decision has been made over Perdomo and Gen V, and it’s probably just what fans were expecting and hoping.
Producers posted the following statement on the official Gen V Instagram: “As we continue to navigate the tragic loss of Chance Perdomo, everyone at Gen V is determined to find the best way to pay respect to his memory. We won’t be recasting the role, because no one can replace Chance. Instead, we have been taking the time and space to refract our Season 2 storylines as we begin production in May. We will honor Chance and his legacy this season.

Both Omni-Man and Homelander are satirical versions of the superheroes we have grown up watching. While their people love and hail them as their saviors, the reality is different. Perhaps this completely different iteration of supes is what makes these two so popular amongst viewers. And now, fans will soon get to see Omni-Man and Homelander fight each other in the video game Mortal Kombat 1.

Back in 2023, fans were greeted with the news that Homelander would be getting added to the video game in the ‘Kombat Pack’ and the day is not too far anymore. The first teaser showing Homelander’s gameplay has been released, and it looks like Omni-Man and others may have to take a step back as the Superman dupe is ready to scorch through anything and anyone.

When you’re reminded of that milk-drinking scene from The Boys, you know you’re in for something special. While it’s not the official trailer for Homelander’s arrival in Mortal Kombat 1, NetherRealm is giving us a taste (sorry) of what to expect in the very near future, including the (somewhat) official reveal that Ferra (sans Torr) will be a Kameo Fighter.
Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon had actually teased Ferra joining Mortal Kombat 1 a few days ago on X in his usual cheeky way.
As for Homelander, we’re not given any footage of him in action, although we do get what appear to be his fatalities. As you might expect (as was the case with Omni-Man), the fatalities call back to various scenes from The Boys. No official date has been announced for Homelander’s arrival in Mortal Kombat 1, but those who purchased the Kombat Pack will...

At the end of March, we learned that British actor Chance Perdomo, best known for his roles in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and The Boys spin-off Gen V, had died following a motorcycle accident.
Shortly after the actor's death, the show's production team confirmed they had paused work on the series to figure out what to do without him.
As Andre Anderson, the actor played one of Gen V's lead characters and the stage was set for him to be a major player in the world of The Boys moving forward. We'd wondered if the role might be recast, but it's now been confirmed that the series will instead write his character out.
"As we continue to navigate the tragic loss of Chance Perdomo, everyone at Gen V is determined to find the best way to pay respect to his memory," a statement from the Gen V producers shared on X reads.

It was with great shock that the actor Chance Perdomo’s death was announced a few weeks ago. At the age of just 27, the British-American actor lost his life in a motorcycle crash. Known for his phenomenal performances as Ambrose Spellman in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and as Andre Anderson in The Boys spin-off, the late actor was believed to be heading to Toronto for the first table read of Gen V season 2 when the accident happened.
Production was immediately halted as the creative team and cast took some time to process the tragedy and figure out how to handle it within the show.

Weeks before his death on March 30, the star of “The Boys” spin-off “Gen V” Chance Perdomo revealed the role on “The Boys” that he auditioned for — and failed to snag. While speaking on actor Michael Rosebaum’s podcast “Inside Of You,” Perdomo said, “I auditioned for Huey on ‘The Boys,’ and I don’t think I got close. But I remember reading it and being like, ‘I absolutely love everything about this.'”
Earlier in the interview, Perdomo said that he’d also auditioned for the role of Jughead Jones on “Riverdale” — a role that ultimately went to Cole Sprouse. “I didn’t get that, but I was close,” he said. “It was one of my first auditions. I think it was between me and three other people, or three or five.”
Showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa remembered his audition, however, and “wrote [his ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’ character] Ambrose with me in mind.

Even given the usually significant security provisions in place around any Marvel production before official announcements are made, you'd think an actor wouldn't even be able to drop hints that they'd auditioned, let alone been cast. But then, not every actor is Giancarlo Esposito a man who didn't meet a pop culture behemoth he couldn't infiltrate — Star Wars, DC, The Boys, you name it – and at Ccxp in Mexico City, he dropped word that he'll be making his entry to the Marvel Cinematic Universe before too long.
Yet, while fans have speculated about him playing Professor Charles Xavier (and he himself put that out into the universe a couple of years ago), in his latest con appearance, he shot that down — but wouldn't be drawn on exactly who he might be playing.
"I cannot promise you it’ll be Professor X, because here’s what I think. I think that...

Possible spoilers for "The Boys" follow.
We now have a new trailer for season 4 of bloody superhero satire "The Boys," and it looks like a full-blown supe-pocalypse is boiling. After the end of "The Boys" season 3, when Homelander (Antony Starr) killed a protestor in front of a crowd and got only cheers, he's no longer content with being a mere celebrity. No, he's reshaping the Seven into "wrathful gods." He's also Congresswoman Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit), a head-popping supe and Vice Presidential candidate, in his pocket.
Fans of "The Boys" comics (by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson) might see where this is all going. In "The Boys" volume 11 (issues #60-65), "Over the Hill with the Swords of a Thousand Men," Homelander launches a coup against the U.S. government and the Boys go to war to overthrow him. Without spoiling all the twists in between, issue #65 concludes with team leader Billy...

What follows is a rousing montage of teams getting back together, new supes joining the fray, new monsters revealing themselves, chickens flying out of chests, and bloody sheep being torn apart mid-air all juxtaposed against inspirational speeches and quotes from Butcher, Homelander, and the rest of the gang of fucked-up folks trying to save humanity in their own ways.
Coming on the heels of the series’ breakout spin-off “Gen V”, this latest season of “The Boys” looks to be incorporating characters old and new. One figure who hasn’t shown up in either series though...

It has been a long time since we have heard anything about The Boys as the actors got busy shooting season 4 of the iconic Amazon series. Based on anti-heroes and their fight against humans, the series is quite bloody, gory, and, spectacular.
Antony Starr as Homelander in The Boys (2019-)
It was season 3 when Jensen Ackles made his entrance as Soldier Boy in the Amazon Original series. With his character being the father of Homelander, and The Boys using Soldier Boy’s power to kill the supes, a brilliant theory has emerged about the future of supes and the survival of humans!
Soldier Boy Will Be The End of The Boys?
With numerous gory deaths that have been showcased in the series (remember Herogasm?) the world of The Boys is not for everyone. Having a stellar cast of Jensen Ackles, Antony Starr, and, Karl Urban alongside several others, The Boys is something unique.

The Boys Season Four: Billy Butcher Gets The Band Back Together In Bloody Beautiful Official Trailer
Last night during their Ccxp presentation, Prime Video launched the first official trailer for The Boys season four and it's every bit as batshit crazy as we've come to expect from Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and his gang of lovable misfits.
Picking up a short while after the events of season three, which aired in 2022, the trailer quickly reacquaints us to the world of The Boys, with Billy doing his best to make amends with his former team. With the squad not exactly keen on bringing him back into the fold, he seemingly reveals his terminal diagnosis and then it seems like it'll be all hands on deck as our favorite band of heroes team up to take down Homelander (Antony Starr) once and for all.
In addition to Urban and Starr, the returning main cast includes Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone,...

The ton is ready to dive into yet another debutante season. Bridgerton Season 3 is almost here, and the excitement is palpable. Fans have been waiting for the romance brew between Penelope and Colin Bridgerton since season 1. Mainly to see what Penelope is up to after the significant reveal that *spoiler alert* she was Lady Whistledown. In the aftermath of Season 2’s finale, where Eloise finally finds out about her identity, there is a lot at stack here for this wallflower. But we guess certain things become too real when you play a character for a long time because Nicola Coughlan might have just given away a major spoiler from Bridgerton Season 3 to fans. Here’s why!

The official trailer for "The Boys" season 4 just dropped, and it looks like some of the antiheroes in Prime Video's hit series are having a bit of an identity crisis. "Violence isn't brave," Jack Quaid's Hughie says at one point, noting that the titular kill squad should probably stop killing everyone if they actually want to save the world. Of course, in typical "The Boys" fashion, that nice sentiment is surrounded on all sides by violence: rooms full of dead bodies, a leg getting sawed off, and a guy going splat against a building, among other (gross) things.
That last kill will surely be of interest to fans of the series, as it's committed by Butcher's own stepson, Ryan (Cameron Crovetti), who's now under the tutelage of his biological dad, weirdo supervillain Homelander (Antony Starr). After he seemingly explodes a guy against a building, Ryan is rewarded with...
