While primarily known for portraying Dean Winchester in Supernatural, Jensen Ackles made a strong comeback to the TV scene with The Boys where he played Soldier Boy. Thanks to that, Ackles has been experiencing a massive resurgence in popularity lately, and it seems like Supernatural and The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke wasn’t the only one who decided to capitalize on that.
Ackles and Haas Working on a Thriller Series
While CBS’ Tracker recently grabbed a piece of Jensen Ackles for itself, Prime Video had an even bigger and more enticing offer for the Supernatural alum. According to Variety, Ackles will play the lead role in the upcoming thriller series Countdown, which will see the actor work under Chicago Fire’s Derek Haas who will be running the show.
Currently, Haas has a 13-episode order from Prime Video. The TV show will be renewed based on its performance but it...

While many fans of Eric Kripke’s writing are now enjoying The Boys, as the show is about to release its fourth season, there is another group of fans, still longing for the return of The CW hit Supernatural. Even more so, they wish to see Kripke take back the creative control over the revival, leading the Winchester brothers to more adventures.
The Boys fans, on the other hand, have an opposite reaction to the idea of the show lasting for many more seasons, instead of ending at 5, like Kripke used to promise before. However, there isn’t much to fear right now. The creator doesn’t truly believe any similar show could repeat Supernatural’s success today.
Is Supernatural Season 16 in the Works?
While fans believe they have seen many different hints and clues pointing to the revival of the series, there is no official confirmation of this happening.

While the premise of “The Boys” is fairly simple to convey–a group of people aim to take down self-obsessed celebrity superheroes–there is a lot more going on in the show, especially in more recent seasons. The show never pulls its punches when it comes to social messaging. Hell, there was a literal Nazi bad guy in the series. And according to the showrunner, if you don’t like the messages found in “The Boys,” there’s really only one thing you should do–go watch something else.

It's a tragedy that "comic book" is synonymous with "superhero." If film is sometimes dismissed as a less mature medium than literature, and television in turn deemed less than film, then comics are at the bottom of that rung. The medium being the birthplace of an inherently childish genre about strongmen in capes doesn't dissuade the uninitiated of that notion.
Someone who definitely agrees with me is Irish comic writer Garth Ennis. He co-created "The Boys," a series where CIA agent Billy Butcher leads a five-man squad dedicated to taking down corrupt "supes."
Ennis grew up reading war comics and the magazine "2000 Ad" (home of Judge Dredd), so he has no childhood fondness for superheroes and can look at them with a different eye than most comic writers. "I don't hate superheroes," Ennis has protested. "I just think they're kind of silly." Hence, "The Boys" is all about taking the piss out of superheroes,...

The Boys returns for its long-awaited fourth season later this week, and Prime Video has released a promo featuring new cast member Jeffrey Dean Morgan sharing new details about his mysterious character.
In the humorous teaser, The Walking Dead alum manages to get a few things out before his words begin to be heavily censored.
Is he actually spilling any redacted secrets here? Well, we already know a few things about Morgan's character, but there are certainly some details that have been kept firmly under wraps - and for good reason.
Without giving anything away, let's just say Mr. Kessler doesn't care for The Boys and feels Butcher and the team's methods haven't been yielding adequate results.
Have a look at the new promo below, along with some new stills from the first three episodes and a video featuring The Deep sharing some "wise" words.
Finally, @jdmorgan shared more details about his character at #IGNLive.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is one of the most exciting upcoming projects. It’s the only MCU movie set to be released in 2024, and people who have seen parts of it believe it will save the MCU and restore fans’ faith in the franchise.
As with any highly anticipated project, there are lots of rumors about potential cameos, different versions of characters, and other elements of the movie. Some, like Garner’s Elektra, have been confirmed, while others are still just speculation, though more evidence is supporting them.
Yesterday, a new teaser for the movie was released for Best Friends Day. Besides featuring Deadpool and Wolverine, the teaser seems to show a female version of Deadpool, known as Lady Deadpool, a character rumored to appear since the movie was announced.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is one of the most exciting upcoming projects. It’s the only MCU movie bound to be released in 2024, and judging by the opinions of people who already saw parts of it, it’s going to be an MCU saver and restore the faith of fans in the franchise overall.
Just like with every anticipated project, plenty of rumors are going around about potential cameos, variants, and elements of the movie. Some have been confirmed like Garner’s Elektra, and some remain under speculation, with more and more evidence stacking to support them.
Yesterday, a new teaser for the movie was released in honor of best friends day, and aside from featuring Deadpool & Wolverine, the teaser also features what appears to be a female version of Deadpool aka Lady Deadpool, a character that was rumored to appear in the movie pretty much since the movie was announced.

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 passing, the show's production team confirmed they had paused work on the series to figure out how to move forward without him.
As Andre Anderson, the actor played one of Gen V's lead characters, with the stage ultimately set for him to be a major player in the world of The Boys. Fans have wondered if the role might be recast, but The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke has now elaborated on how Andre will be written out of the spin-off series.
"First, it's just so unbelievably tragic, and my heart goes out to his family," Kripke tells TV Line. "We're not trying to replace him because we can’t. We're playing the character's death on the show.

The Boys are back in town, and they might be here to stay for a while.
As Season 4 of the Prime Video superhero series soars back to the streamer this month, showrunner Eric Kripke revealed his plans for the future of the series, which is based on the comic book of the same name.
“I am – without hyperbole – literally the worst person in history at predicting how long their show should go,” he said in the latest issue of SFX Magazine after his last show, Supernatural, lasted for 15 seasons.
“No one in the entire history of the entertainment business has been more wrong than me, giving interview after interview on how I thought Supernatural should end after five years,” added Kripke.
He reasoned, “So I would be crazy to speculate on how many seasons any show should go. I’m not going to make that same mistake again. But, yes,...

Prime Video’s “The Boys” isn’t a show that pulls its punches. The hit television series is in fact known to be gratuitous in every regard, from its depiction of sex and violence to its timely socio-economic and political commentary. But for all the fun showrunner Eric Kripke and his staff have putting “The Boys” together, there’s also a great importance put on using the superhero narrative to capture something bigger about who we are as people and where we are as a country. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Kripke said oftentimes, their writing parallels real life in eerie ways.
“Sometimes we feel like we’re Satan’s writers room,” said Kripke, addressing how the current season, revolving around a tense presidential election, may hit too close to home for some.
“When Seth [Rogen] and Evan [Goldberg] and I took it out to pitch, it was 2016,” Kripke said later,...

While viewers curse streaming platforms for canceling shows too early and not giving them another chance, they are just as quick to drop the entire series based on the impressions of the pilot episode. Although understandable, sometimes this logic deprives people of watching some of the best shows.
Here are 8 TV shows that redditors of the r/television subreddit dropped after watching only the pilot, but then picked up and grew to love.
Schitt's Creek (2015-2020)
Like most sitcoms, the pilot was just the writers testing the waters. It set up a backstory, put the characters in their niches, and was released with the hope that the show would hit the right spots for all genre fans. Fortunately, the brilliant cast and the talent of Dan Levy and his father, Eugene Levy, were enough to get the show off the ground.

The Boys is one of the most popular superhero series in the world at this moment. The twisted take on the superhero genre, adapted from the comic book of the same name, became a major hit for Amazon Prime and a series that has pushed the boundaries of what can be shown on TV in more ways than one. After three successful seasons and a spin-off series, the fourth season of The Boys is coming back later this year, with the premiere scheduled for June 13, 2024. We have received a preview trailer and several posters, and today, a new proper trailer was released in preparation for the premiere. But, in preparation for the upcoming Season 4 premiere, The Hollywood Reporter sat down for a talk with showrunner Eric Kripke.

Prime Video's The Boys adaptation may be known for its extreme gore, dark humor and comic book parodies, but it's never shied away from including sociopolitical satire, and the show has arguably gained more attention for its blistering take-down of America's far right.
Showrunner Eric Kripke has always been very up-front about what - and who - the series is taking aim at, and the writing has proved to be almost prescient with its parallels to current events.
For example, the upcoming fourth season finds Homelander on trial for publicly killing a protestor in the season 3 finale, and the show returns to our screens shortly after former President Donald Trump's numerous convictions.
"It’s happened now almost every season, and we write them sometimes close to two years before they air and again we’ll find that the news is accurately reflecting whatever we’re talking about," Kripke tells THR.

The first Iron Man film led by Robert Downey Jr. in 2008 served as the launchpad for the Marvel Cinematic Universe that became a name synonymous with success. The idea of a flamboyant billionaire who built himself a suit of armor from metal scraps in a cave resonated with the audience, becoming a solid foundation for the superhero franchise that we know and adore.

The Boys is soaring back onto Amazon Prime Video next week, boldly unpacking a massive storyline that’s more timely than ever. Are we ready for another season teetering with anticipation, as the series showrunner, Eric Kripke, recently weighed in on some of the intense discussion?

Fans have criticized The Boys for having political overtones, and Kripke addressed this, particularly in light of Homelander’s similarities to former US President Donald Trump.

Gen V’s return for Season 2 will not feature one of the leading characters. Chance Perdomo passed away prior to the second season of the show’s production. Subsequently, the writers disclosed that they would not be recasting the role and would instead find a way to bring the late actor’s legacy to life through the character. Having finally decided how to handle the unfortunate turn of events, the season is currently in production.
In an act of genuine tribute, showrunner Eric Kripke (also the man behind The Boys) revealed his tender plan to honor the British-American actor, mirroring the respectful approach MCU took for Chadwick Boseman.

Now, the TV titan is trying his hand at a medical drama, which has become its own creature in the television industry.
But if there's one thing the actor is good at, it's coming across as calm and collected, much like his character Spock from the Star Trek films.

One of the best things about The Boys is the way the show has very high stakes yet remains deeply unserious. With so many moments ranging from the sad to the truly disturbing, the writers know exactly how to balance it all with humor and keep the viewer sitting down to watch more.
Of course, with the premise being a satire on the superhero genre, there's no way the show could have been made completely serious. But it's the attention to detail even in the throwaway jokes that makes fans so attached to the show and its characters.

Given all three seasons that The Boys has already released, the viewers have learned to expect the unexpectable when it comes to the show. Even the most insane fantasy or headcanon may turn out to be true if that benefits the narrative. That is especially true when it...

Eric Kripke had a Midas touch long before the Hollywood establishment gave him credit for it. In 2005, he created Supernatural — one of the 10 longest-running primetime dramas in history, only wrapping in 2020. But it was a cheap, genre show on an unsexy network, The CW, so even an ensuing string of doubles (Revolution, Timeless) did little to move his needle. Then, he sold an adaptation of Garth Ennis’ hard-r comic book The Boys to Amazon. In other hands, it might have been Diet Deadpool. But Kripke crafted a scathing satire of 21st century America where Homelander, the chiseled superhero in the American flag cape, is an authoritarian proxy for Donald Trump. Critics immediately took a shine, but its commercial success — the most recent season earned more eyeballs than The Rings of Power, with 106 billion minutes viewed in 2022 — made Kripke a priority at the streamer. There, he’s swiftly built out the...

Sunrise on the Reaping Title Meaning Sheds Light on the Hunger Games' Beginnings - Main Image
The Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins recently confirmed that there's another prequel story coming our way. But what fans don't get is the meaning behind the Sunrise on the Reaping title for Haymitch Abernathy's story.
Well, this article explores exactly that, while waiting for the fifth novel in the series to release in 2025.
Since The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes refers to how Lucy Gray Baird united the people through her song, contrasting Cornelius Snow's (and the Capitol's) snake-like tendencies of betrayal, how does Sunrise on the Reaping connect with Haymitch?

The summer movie kickoff has been a little bumpy, but the staff at IMDb have their sights set on several highly anticipated movies and shows coming out in June.
See IMDb’s June Picks
If you need something light and fun for the weekend, check out Glen Powell and Adria Arjona in ‘Hit Man’ on Netflix. Based on the true story of part-time undercover investigator Gary Johnson, director Richard Linklater's crime comedy finds Powell moonlighting as a fake hit man who starts to fall for a woman who enlists his services.
Those looking for thrills and chills can head to the theater, where Will Smith and Martin Lawrence go undercover in ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die,’ and Dakota Fanning finds herself trapped with a bunch of strangers under spooky circumstances in the directorial debut of M. Night Shyamalan's daughter, Ishana Night Shyamalan.
The rest of June will keep many fans busy with new episodes of three Emmy-winning series: Season 4 of “The Boys” (6/13) on Prime Video, Season 2 of “House of the Dragon” (6/16) on Max, and Season 3 of “The Bear” (6/27) on Hulu.
There’s not a ton on the menu for families, but ‘Inside Out 2’ is expected to be one of 2024’s box office bright spots. The Pixar sequel brings back Riley’s original emotions and adds Maya Hawke (“Stranger Things”) as Anxiety and Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear’) as Ennui.
Take a look at all the staff picks for the month in our guide, where you can watch trailers, read more about what’s coming, and add movies and shows to your Watchlist....

Gen V executive producer Eric Kripke is opening up further about how the Boys spinoff will explain Andre’s absence during Season 2 following his portrayer Chance Perdomo’s death.
Perdomo passed away in late March 2024 as a result of a motorcycle accident. On May 5, the producers of Gen V released a statement that they would not be recasting the actor’s character and were instead opting to take “the time and space to recraft our Season 2 storylines as we begin production in May.”

The Boys Season 4 Goes Off-Canon with Two New Members of The Seven - Main Image
Prime Video is drumming up the excitement for the new season of The Boys. After Billy Butcher’s anti-Supes crew, we now have the official poster for the latest members of The Seven: Sister Sage and Firecracker.
In one of its major deviations from the source material, The Boys introduces two Supes without comic book counterparts; hence, little is known about the newbies.
Sister Sage, a former member of the young Supe group Teenage Kix, reportedly boasts of superior intelligence but is often sidelined due to her race and gender. “We wanted a Black woman who was raised in a low socioeconomic area, so no one f---ing listens to her,” shares showrunner Eric Kripke in an interview. Her other superpowers are yet to be revealed. Breakthrough star Susan Heyward from Orange is the New Black plays Sister Sage.

Seth Meyers’ comedy style and tastes have changed in the past decade, or at least since he created adult animated series “The Awesomes.”
The late night host said during his podcast “The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast” with fellow “SNL” alums Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone that “The Awesomes” was unnecessarily R-rated.
The Hulu series, which was co-created by Meyers and Michael Shoemaker and executive produced by Lorne Michaels, ran for 30 episodes from 2013 to 2015. The show satirized the superhero world and starred Meyers, Bill Hader, Rashida Jones, Ike Barinholtz, Steve Higgins, Bobby Lee, Kenan Thompson, and Paula Pell, among a slew of guest stars.
“There’s just too many bleeps, and now I have a 7-year-old who loves it,” Meyers said. “It was trying to be too cool and we didn’t need to be…It’s such a drag now because my son really likes watching...

The Boys returns to our screens next week, and Prime Video (via Discussing Film) has shared the first clip from the season 4 premiere.
Here, we see Billy Butcher attempt to get Ryan to leave with him during Victoria Neuman's campaign speech. The last time these two spoke, Butcher did what he felt was best for Ryan by telling him that he never wanted him, but this approach backfired by bringing the easily-manipulated young Supe closer to his father.
Butcher almost manages to convince the lad that going with him would be what his "mum would want," before Homelander arrives on the scene.
One-on-one confrontations between these mortal enemies have been kept to a minimum - in large part due to the fact that it can be hard to come up with believable reasons why Homie wouldn't just laser his head off - but here, the ruthless...

The Boys returns for its fourth season on next week, and Prime Video has now released another character poster, this time spotlighting the two latest members of the "superhero" group known as The Seven.
As you might expect, those new recruits turn out to be every bit as unhinged/amoral as pretty much every other Supe that's been part of the team, but one, in particular, might be the most dangerous of all: The smartest person in the world, Sister Sage (Susan Heyward).
"It's such a funny power," showrunner Eric Kripke said of the scheming Supe in a recent interview with EW. "A lot of superhero worlds have that character. Whereas most of them are usually really reedy white dudes, we wanted a Black woman who was raised in a low socioeconomic area, so no one f---ing listens to her.
