The Boys Launches a Fake News Show Starring a Tucker Carlson Lookalike

Dying to know what’s been going out with these pesky Boys? Why learn a recap when you possibly can take a look at good ol’ normal American propaganda! The Boys has launched a brand new digital collection designed to bridge the hole between the superhero collection’ seasons two and three, taking the type of a information present starring some man with a really punchable face.

Amazon Prime Video has launched the primary episode of “Seven on 7 on VNN [Vought News Network],” a seven-episode digital collection the place VNN anchor Cameron Coleman (Matthew Edison) provides the newest information a “pro-Super” spin. The present takes place on the earth of The Boys however takes its cues from Fox News, One America News, and different conservative retailers which have determined it’s cool to unfold disinformation as long as they garner views and promoting offers from the community’s solely remaining sponsor, “Our Sheet.”

New episodes of “Seven on 7″ will be released on the seventh day of every month, with seven episodes planned in total (I’m sensing a theme here). In a statement, showrunner Eric Kripke said the content in the digital news show will help set things up for season three, which the showrunner previously said would largely focus on America’s growing political divide. As part of this effort, Edison will reprise his role as Cameron Coleman in season three.

“Since the very start of The Boys, we’ve seen Vought’s propaganda arm—I mean, news channel,” Kripke mentioned. “We’ll be digging deeper into those fair and balanced patriots next season, so as a teaser, we’re introducing ‘Seven on 7’ with VNN’s biggest star Cameron Coleman. The episodes are in world canon, serving up brand new information that bridges the story gap between Seasons 2 and 3. So enjoy the hot takes and catheter commercials, just like your parents do.”

Season three of The Boys is currently being filmed and no expected release date has been announced. It sees the return of key Supers and Boys, along with the debut of Supernatural’s Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy.
