Fans attending the Prime Video panel at Ccxp México were treated to a first look at the second season of Gen V, the acclaimed series that expands the Emmy Award-winning world of The Boys with its own chilling and satirical edge.

Cast members Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, London Thor, and Derek Luh participated in the panel, where they revealed that the highly anticipated second season will premiere on Wednesday, September 17.

The first three episodes of Gen V season two will debut exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. New episodes will then be released weekly, leading up to a full-throttle season finale on Wednesday, October 22.

In season two, school is back in session. As the rest of America adjusts to Homelander’s iron fist, back at Godolkin University, the mysterious new Dean preaches a curriculum that promises to make students more powerful than ever.

“Gen V” Season finally has a premiere date, and just in time for the new school year, too.

Prime Video’s college-based spinoff of “The Boys” returns Sept. 17 with the premiere of the first three episodes, available in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. New episodes will follow weekly with the second season finale airing Wednesday, October 22.

Season 2 picks up where Season 4 of “The Boys” left off — with Homelander (Antony Starr) firmly established as America’s brutal new fascist dictator and pretty much everyone who opposes him, with the sole exception of Starlight (Erin Moriarty), shoved into gulags at best.

Preacher nearly became a film before the successful AMC TV adaptation, with multiple directors and a screenwriter interested in the project. While Garth Ennis had no issue with a film adaptation, turning Preacher into a TV series allowed for a more thorough and successful adaptation. Preacher is just one example of how TV adaptations of comic series, like The Boys and The Walking Dead, have found more success than they would if they were film adaptations.

Preacher fans are well aware of the 2016 AMC live-action series based on the DC/Vertigo comic by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, though what they might not be aware of is how close the R-rated comic actually came to getting a film adaptation. Years before Seth Rogan, Evan Goldberg, and Sam Catlin turned the comic into a hit four-season show, Preacher was very nearly a feature film, and Garth Ennis opens up about that arduous process.

After decades of honoring the best in independent film, the Gotham Awards have formally branched out into television. In recent years the Gothams have included a handful of TV awards alongside their film races, but 2024 marks the first time the Gothams have dedicated an awards show specifically to television. Held on June 4 at 7:00pm Eastern in New York City, the awards celebrated the best new comedies, dramas, limited series and nonfiction programs of the season. So how did the inaugural event go? Who were the big winners? And what were the biggest surprises at these juried awards? The complete list of winners is below, updated throughout the night.

Hamish Linklater has joined Season 2 of “Gen V” at Amazon Prime Video, Variety has learned.

Linklater will play the character Cipher, described as “the charismatic and charming newly-appointed Dean of Godolkin University. Trained as a scientist, he’s politically brilliant, and has the trust and admiration of officials at the highest level.”

The series, a spinoff of the popular Prime Video series “The Boys,” follows the students of Godolkin University as they train to become superheroes.

Linklater joins a cast that already includes Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, and Asa Germann. Chance Perdomo had also starred in Season 1, but the actor died in a motorcyle accident in March. The producers of the series have stated his role will not be recast.

For decades, the Gotham Awards have honored the best in independent film as decided by select committees of industry insiders, festival programmers, and media experts. In recent years they have expanded into TV, but in 2024, for the first time, they are holding a separate awards show dedicated to the best new television programs of the year. Scroll down for the complete list of inaugural nominees. Winners will be presented on Tuesday, June 4, in New York City.

Jeffrey Sharp, The Gotham’s Executive Director, said in a statement, “In a historic moment for The Gotham, we’re thrilled to recognize an extraordinary collection of TV series and the brilliant creators responsible for bringing them to the screen. As an organization dedicated to celebrating and nurturing independent media, we know the inaugural 2024 Gotham TV Awards will honor many truly deserving creatives while widening our reach and expanding our impact.

The Gotham Film & Media Institute announced today the nominations in seven competitive award categories for its inaugural Gotham TV Awards, recognizing a range of series, including Baby Reindeer, Ripley, The Curse, Shōgun, Bodkin, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Black Twitter: A People’s History as well as performances from Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder in The Curse, Andrew Scott in Ripley, Kristen Wiig in Palm Royale, Richard Gadd in Baby Reindeer, and Lily Gladstone in Under The Bridge, among others. The awards ceremony is set for June 4 in NYC.

“In a historic moment for The Gotham, we’re thrilled to recognize an extraordinary collection of TV series and the brilliant creators responsible for bringing them to the screen,” said Jeffrey Sharp, The Gotham’s Executive Director.

The longstanding Gotham Awards is focused on film but includes three television categories. From here on, they will migrate to the new event.

The Gotham Film & Media Institute has announced its nominees in seven categories for the inaugural Gotham TV Awards.

Baby Reindeer, Ripley, The Curse, Shōgun, Bodkin, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Black Twitter: A People’s History are among the nominees, with Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder (The Curse), Andrew Scott (Ripley), Kristen Wiig (Palm Royale), Richard Gadd (Baby Reindeer) and Lily Gladstone (Under the Bridge) receiving nods in the acting categories.

“In a historic moment for The Gotham, we’re thrilled to recognize an extraordinary collection of TV series and the brilliant creators responsible for bringing them to the screen,” said Jeffrey Sharp, the Gotham’s executive director. “As an organization dedicated to celebrating and nurturing independent media, we know the inaugural 2024 Gotham TV Awards will honor many truly deserving creatives while widening our reach and expanding our impact. We are enormously proud to celebrate the remarkable talent represented in today’s nominations.

When a sitcom reaches a certain level of longevity, it can be easy for writers to take their audience for granted. Storylines get lightly reworked, if not recycled wholesale. Cheap ratings are scored by having a significant character get married (call it the "Rhoda boost"). And there's no better way to guarantee the maximum amount of eyeballs than to have a major celebrity play themselves within the world of our favorite characters.

This typically works. Who can forget the time Bobby Brady faked a serious illness to earn a bedside visit from Joe Namath on "The Brady Bunch," or the time that pint-sized prankster Arnold Jackson pulled the same trick to get Muhammad Ali up to the Drummond's penthouse on "Diff'rent Strokes?" These are memorable episodes to be sure, but there's nothing more to them than the cameo.

It's far more satisfying when you can drop the celeb into...

Prime Video released the official teaser trailer for the highly anticipated Amazon Original series Gen V. The series will debut with three episodes on Friday, September 29, followed by weekly episodes, leading up to the epic season finale on Friday, November 3.

The official teaser gives audiences a peek into life at Godolkin University, America’s only college exclusively for young-adult superheroes (run by Vought International). From the world of The Boys comes Gen V, which explores the training of the first generation of superheroes to know about Compound V, and that their powers were injected into them, rather than God-given.

These young, competitive heroes put their physical and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the school’s highly coveted top ranking. They quickly come to learn that ambition comes with sacrifice, and the difference between right and wrong is not as clear as they once believed. When the university’s dark secrets come to light,...

Prime Video’s unleashed the first teaser trailer for Gen V, the new spinoff from the critically acclaimed, adult superhero series The Boys. The two-minute teaser confirms the new generation of superheroes are just as twisted as the adult versions, with the trailer full of blood, guts, gore, and comedy.

Gen V will premiere on September 29, 2023 with the release of the first three episodes.

Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Conn, and Maddie Phillips star. Season one also stars London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Marco Pigossi. Clancy Brown and Jason Ritter guest star, and Jessie T.

School is in session for a new generation of superpowered individuals in Prime Video’s Gen V trailer. After the monumental success of Prime Video‘s The Boys, a new crop of potential heroes and villains rule the halls of a university designed to shape the alpha and omegas of tomorrow. Like any college setting, the Godolkin University campus houses students with big dreams, each capable of taking over the world if they apply themselves. Competition to be the best in class is fierce, and only some survive the experience. The halls run red with the blood of lesser classmen, and the race to become a member of the Seven, the world’s premiere superhero team, is as deadly as they come.

Changing the setting to a college campus was always going to be hit or miss for The Boys franchise.

Prime Video dropped the teaser trailer for the Gen V on Monday morning, and my first impression is that the series has managed to nail the tone from its predecessor.

The Boys has been one of the biggest success stories to hit TV screens for the streaming service since its launch in 2019, so there are high expectations for the latest chapter in the franchise.

Set at America's only college exclusively for young adult superheroes (run by Vought International), Gen V explores the lives of hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the school's top ranking.

A different type of school is set to begin session this Fall when Prime Video unleashes “Gen V,” a brand new spinoff series set in the world of Prime’s hit series “The Boys.“

“Gen V” will debut its first three episodes on Friday, September 29, with subsequent episodes releasing weekly on Fridays. The season finale will land on the streamer November 3.

When the university’s dark secrets come to light, the students must come to grips with what type of heroes they are going to become.

Los Angeles, July 21 (Ians) The heavily popular and acclaimed web-series ‘The Boys’ will now be getting its spin-off in the show ‘Gen V’ which just released its teaser.

Putting the bloody and twisted heroism of Homelander aside, ‘Gen V’ will explore the training of the first generation of superheroes to know about Compound V, whose power is artificial rather than God-given.

As they put their physical and moral boundaries to the test, the lead characters will learn that with ambition comes sacrifice, with power comes responsibility, with duty comes emotional conflicts, making them see that the there is a very thin line between right and wrong, and that nothing is black and white as they explore the many shades of grey.

Much like the training for any competitive exam, these young aspiring new bloods will be competing for the school’s highly coveted top ranking as they uncover the university...

One of Prime Video's biggest franchises expands in the fall.

The streaming service has confirmed a Friday, September 29 premiere date for Gen V, a college-set spinoff of the superhero drama The Boys.

Potential fans are in for a treat: The first three episodes will be available on that date.

New episodes will air weekly, leading to the November 3 season finale.

The cast and crew were set to appear at a panel during San Diego Comic-Con, but the event was canceled amid WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

Amazon Prime Video has finally set the premiere date for “The Boys” spinoff series “Gen V.”

Also from creator Eric Kripke, the new show, which takes place at a superhero college, will launch with its first three episodes on Sept. 29. New episodes will rollout weekly until the Season 1 finale on Nov. 3.

“The Boys” spin-off series “Gen V” has locked down a September release date at Prime Video, the streamer announced Thursday.

The series will drop its first three episodes on Friday, Sept. 29, on Prime Video, with subsequent episodes releasing weekly on Fridays. The season finale will land on the streamer Nov. 3.

Extending from the world of “The Boys,” “Gen V” centers on the first generation of superheroes who know the secrets of Compound V and understand that their powers were injected into them, rather than God-given.

San Diego Comic-Con is going to be a little different this year. Many studios had already dropped out of presenting, including Marvel, Sony, HBO, Universal, and Netflix, and now that SAG-AFTRA has joined the WGA on the picket lines, you can pretty much kiss any panel involving writers or actors goodbye. The official Comic-Con schedule has been updated with a list of cancelled panels, which unfortunately includes Dune: Part Two, The Boys spin-off series Gen V, Amazon’s The Wheel of Time, Lionsgate’s upcoming The Strangers trilogy, and more.

Prime Video has released a sizzle reel of its lineup for the coming months, including a first look at Mr. & Mrs. Smith, starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine, as well as looks at Season 2 of Reacher, The Boys spinoff Gen V, and more.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith is Prime Video’s TV reboot of New Regency’s 2005 Doug Liman-directed action comedy film that starred Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The movie followed a bored married couple who are surprised to learn that they are both assassins hired by competing agencies to kill each other. Plot details of the series reboot remain under wraps. It will premiere in November.

In the teaser, we also see sneak peeks of Season 2 of Reacher. From writer and showrunner Nick Santora, based on the novels by Lee Child, the series follows Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson), a veteran military police investigator who has just recently entered civilian life.

Exclusive: Prime Video is yet to release a premiere date for Gen V, its anticipated superhero college spinoff series, which will launch this year. While it’s early for a renewal decision, I hear the streamer is happy with the first season, and a writing room is starting soon in anticipation of a Season 2 pickup. It will be led by executive producer Michele Fazekas, who I hear will serve as sole showrunner.

Fazekas was co-showrunner on Season 1 alongside her longtime writing partner Tara Butters who I hear is taking a break from the business for some family time. The separation was amicable, and Butters intends to return to writing-producing at some point in the future, I hear.

It’s a “Supernatural” reunion! Jeffrey Dean Morgan is joining the cast of “The Boys.”

The actor will join Season 4 of the Amazon Prime Video series as a recurring guest star. Details about Morgan’s character are being kept under wraps.

Morgan has a long history with “The Boys” showrunner Eric Kripke and star Jensen Ackles. He previously played Ackles’ father John Winchester for several seasons of The CW’s “Supernatural.”

Following that role, Morgan has starred for five seasons on AMC’s “The Walking Dead” as the infamous antagonist Negan. He will reprise his role in the upcoming spin-off series “Dead City,” which will follow he and Lauren Cohan’s Maggie through post-apocalyptic Manhattan.

With ‘Preacher,’ it starts with a bold, compelling, and thought-provoking comic book series from Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon and a whole lot of fans who already know Jesse Custer, Cassidy, and Tulip,” said AMC executive vice president of original programming, production and digital content Joel Stillerman in a statement. “Add to that the passionate and talented Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Sam Catlin, an incredible producing team in Neal Moritz, the Original Film team and our good friends at Sony Pictures Television,...

After multiple attempts to adapt Preacher over the years, we’re one big step closer to seeing Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s world brought to life on the small screen. We knew that AMC was interested in a Preacher TV series from Sam Catlin, Seth Rogen, and Evan Goldberg, but now it has been announced that they’ve officially ordered the pilot episode:

Press Release: “AMC today announced that it has ordered a pilot for a series based on the popular comic book franchise “Preacher.” The Sony Pictures Television and AMC Studios co-production was developed for TV by Sam Catlin (“Breaking Bad”) and Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg (“This Is The End,” “Superbad,” “Neighbors”).

AMC today announced that it has ordered a pilot for a series based on the popular comic book franchise Preacher. The Sony Pictures Television and AMC Studios co-production was developed for TV by Sam Catlin (Breaking Bad) and Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg (This Is the End, Superbad, Neighbors). Rogen & Goldberg will produce through their Point Grey banner, along with Neal H. Moritz's Original Film. The pilot was written by Sam Catlin. Rogen & Goldberg are attached to direct.

Here's what Joel Stillerman, AMC's executive vice president of original programming, production and digital content, had to say about Preacher in a statement.

"Every once in a while you find a project where all the elements line up beautifully. With Preacher, it starts with a bold, compelling, and thought-provoking comic book series from Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon and a whole lot of fans who already know Jesse Custer, Cassidy, and Tulip.

Back in February, AMC made the surprising announcement that they have brought on This Is the End directors Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg to develop an adaptation of the hit comic book Preacher. We haven't heard much about the potential series since then, except for a March update where Evan Goldberg revealed that they are trying to stay as close to Garth Ennis' comic book as possible.

Last night, Seth Rogen revealed on his Twitter account that the writing process has begun, which was later confirmed by Evan Goldberg. Take a look at their tweets below, which tease a Biblical opening for the series.

There had been rumours, but now it’s official: This Is The End’s Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are adapting Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s critically acclaimed DC/Vertigo comic book series, Preacher. After a number of failed attempts to bring it to life on the big and small screen, AMC, the Us cable network responsible for Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead, have given it the green light.

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg will write and serve as executive producers, while Sam Catlin (Breaking Bad) has been brought on board to serve as showrunner. Neil Moritz, Vivian Cannon, Ori Marmur, Ken Levin, and Jason Netter are all set to executive produce as well.

First rumored back in November, AMC and Sony Pictures Television have now officially announced an agreement to develop Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's 1990s comic series "Preacher" as a dramatic series for AMC.

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg ("This Is the End") will write and executive produce the series while Sam Catlin ("Breaking Bad") will serve as executive producer and showrunner.

The story follows a down-and-out Texas preacher possessed by Genesis, a supernatural entity conceived by the unnatural coupling of an angel and a demon.

Given immense powers, the preacher teams with an old girlfriend and a hard-drinking Irish vampire and sets out on a journey across America to find God -- who apparently had abandoned his duties in heaven -- and hold him accountable for his negligence.

AMC's executive vice president Joel Stillerman says in a statement: "This is a great piece of material for AMC, and...

As I’ve been saying lately, we don’t always report about series in development because so often they go nowhere, but when an official development announcement comes from a network, that’s another thing entirely. And wow, this could be seriously great news, as AMC, home of The Walking Dead, today announced that it is developing, along with Sony Pictures Television (Helix), a series based on the Preacher comic book series by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon.

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (This is the End) are executive producers, though there is no word that Rogen will be playing an onscreen part, and Sam Catlin (Breaking Bad) will be showrunner.

AMC And Sony Pictures Television To Develop Preacher As A Dramatic Series On AMC

New York, NY and Los Angeles, CA – February 6, 2014 – AMC and Sony Pictures Television today announced an agreement to develop Preacher as a dramatic series on AMC.

Via: Variety

AMC has officially announced that Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg will be developing an series adaptation of the comic book Preacher. The two released a statement saying,

“This is amazing! We’ve tried for seven years to work on Preacher and we’re so psyched AMC is finally letting us. It is our favorite comic of all time, and we’re going to do everything we can to do it right. Humperdoo!”

The comic was created by writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon in the '90s. It tells the story of Texas reverend Jesse Custer who, after merging with the escaped offspring of a demon and an angel, finds himself imbued with the word of God, the power to command anyone to do his bidding. Teamed with his ex girlfriend, Tulip O'Hare, and an Irish vampire named Cassidy, Custer sets out across America to track down...

I know British actress Nikki Amuka-Bird best as the long suffering Det. Sgt. Erin Gray on BBC One’s addictive series Luther. Fans will get to see another side of her now that she’s been cast in the new Cinemax drama pilot Quarry.

Logan Marshall-Green stars in the pilot as a 1973 era Vietnam vet, freshly home for the war and quite disillusioned. So, what does he do? He joins a shadow organization to become a hitman.

Amuka-Bird will play Ruth, explained the latest Deadline casting update. Ruth is the wife of Artie, friend to Marshall-Green’s Quarry. Artie is a former Marine, by the by.

It’s all coming together. Quarry is based on the series of novels by Max Allan Collins, who also brought us the amazing Road To Perdition graphic novel. As previously reported, Stellan Skarsgård will play the key role of The Broker. Noah Taylor has...

Cinemax is busy beefing up its sniper pilot, Quarry. We’ve been bringing you all the latest casting news involved in this interesting 1970s set thriller. Today we can add a Thor actor to the mix. Stellan Skarsgård has signed the dotted line to co-star in the pilot.

Quarry could be a success. The network has already seen positive results with their original series Banshee and Strike Back. Quarry is based on the Max Allan Collins series of novels and follows a Marine sniper, who we previously revealed would be acted by Prometheus actor, Logan Marshall-Green. When our Marine returns home from Vietnam in 1973, he finds an America that would demonize him for doing nothing more than sacrificing just about everything to protect their freedoms.

As a result, Marshall-Green’s character, whose name is Quarry, becomes a contract killer. He is good a killing after all.

Skarsgård will play The Broker,...

Game Of Thrones‘ recurring player Noah Taylor has been cast opposite Logan Marshall-Green in Quarry, a drama pilot for HBO sibling Cinemax. Written by Graham Gordy and Michael D. Fuller based on the series of novels by Max Allan Collins, Quarry is set in the 1970s and centers on a Marine sniper (Marshall-Green) who, upon his return home from Vietnam in 1973, finds himself shunned by those he loves and demonized by the public. Taylor will play Buddy, a hitman who helps Quarry learn the ropes. John Hillcoat is set to direct the pilot, co-produced by Anonymous Content. Hillcoat, Gordy, Fuller, Collins and Ken Levin executive produce with Anonymous’ Steve Golin, David Kanter, Matt DeRoss and Keith Redmon. Taylor, repped by Greene & Associates and manager Andrew J. Freedman, will next be seen in the features Predestination and Mindscape.

Cinemax just recruited a Marine sniper. Okay, so Prometheus actor Logan Marshall-Green isn’t really a soldier, but he’ll play one on TV. The network chose him to star in their new drama pilot titled Quarry.

The pilot is based upon a Max Allan Collins’ book, which follows a Marine sniper who returns home from Vietnam in 1973 to become disillusioned by the America he finds. It isn’t the one he left behind and it isn’t kind to him. “Combat-hardened and disillusioned, he’s recruited into a network of contract killers and corruption spanning the length of the Mississippi River,” reported THR. I told you it was a drama, and what a drama, but I see exciting thriller elements here as well.

If you are thinking that the title is weird, don’t. A quarry holds rocks and any member of the military can tell you there are...
