Prime Video today released the official trailer and key art for The Sticky, a fast-paced, dark comedy series from Blumhouse Television, inspired by a real-life heist that made global headlines in 2012, which saw more than $18 million worth of maple syrup stolen from Quebec’s national reserves.

From showrunners Brian Donovan and Ed Herro, The Sticky combines moments of culture-clash hilarity, edge-of-the-seat excitement, and heartbreaking drama. All six episodes premiere on Good December 6 exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories around the world.

The Sticky follows Ruth Landry (three-time Emmy Award winner Margo Martindale), a tough, middle-aged maple syrup farmer who turns to crime when the bureaucratic authorities threaten to take away everything she loves.

She teams up with the hot-tempered Bostonian mobster (Chris Diamantopoulos) and a mild-mannered French-Canadian security guard (Guillaume Cyr) to carry out a multi-million-dollar heist on Quebec’s maple syrup surplus.

In the deliciously devious trailer,...

We're currently between seasons of The Boys, Prime Video's subversive superhero show about a world where superheroes are both real and completely awful. The fifth and final season of The Boys will likely air in 2026, wrapping up the story of the conflict between sociopathic superman Homelander and nigh-sociopathic superhero-hater Billy Butcher.

But Amazon has no intention of letting that be the end of things. It's already aired a first season of one spinoff show called Gen V, set at a college where young superheroes are trained to use their powers and avoid moral accountability for their actions. There's also a Spanish-language spinoff planned called The Boys: Mexico.

Finally, there's Vought Rising, a prequel series that will explore the foundations of Vought, the massive corporation behind a lot of the superheroes we come to meet and loathe on The Boys. Vought Rising will revolve around two characters we met on the original series: Soldier Boy,...

Sometimes, looking back can help with what’s coming next.

That was the message from Sony Pictures Television Studios president Katherine Pope on Wednesday during a keynote interview in Rome at the Italian confab Mia, in which she addressed everything from Season 5 of The Boys to calling for gaps between seasons to shrink.

Asked to apply her experience — which includes a decade at NBCUniversal, long before joining Sony more than two years ago — she said certain principles from the broadcast system could help inform a better way to produce in the future.

“There was a sense of time and money in the U.S. broadcast system,” she said. “You really had to get shows done. You did not have a choice. We’re now seeing the hangover of the boom times, and people will say they don’t know if they can do it for this amount of money or make the schedule.

ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” is set to be honored next week with a Sentinel Award, which will recognize the series’ entire body of work over the past 20 seasons (and heading into Season 21) when it comes to promoting the culture of health. That’s one of eleven awards set to be given out on Thursday, October 24, as the USC Annenberg Norman Lear Center’s Hollywood, Health & Society program recognizes series that make a difference in informing viewers about important issues.

Other shows set to be honored include Apple TV+’s “The Morning Show,” for its discussion on abortion, NBC’s “Lopez vs. Lopez” for tackling addiction, Fox’s “The Simpsons” for looking at wealth disparity, Max’s “Hacks” for touching on the climate crisis, AMC’s “Dark Winds” for its story focus on racism in healthcare, ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” on taking on the dangers of smoking and vaping, and more.

“Abbott Elementary,” “The Morning Show,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Hacks” are among the 11 television shows that will be honored at the Sentinel Awards, which are determined by USC Annenberg Norman Lear Center’s Hollywood, Health & Society program.

“The Simpsons,” “Feud: Capote vs. the Swans,” “Expats,” “Lopez vs Lopez,” “Gen V,” “The Big Cigar” and “Dark Winds” have also been tapped to receive awards at the ceremony, which is set to take place Thursday, Oct. 24 at the Writers Guild Theater in Beverly Hills, California.

Programs are recognized for creating television storylines that responsibly informs audiences on various critical topics and have made an impact.

“Grey’s Anatomy” will be feted for its overall depiction of healthcare over the course of its two-decade run. “The Morning Show” is being lauded for its portrayal of abortion in the Season 3 episode, “The Kármán Line,” while “Abbott Elementary” is being honored for its depiction of smoking and vaping in the Season 3 episode,...

Eric Kripke has a track record of producing highly successful shows, with his most recent work, The Boys, standing out as one of the best and most popular superhero series ever. Since its premiere on Amazon, the show has consistently pushed the boundaries of what can be shown on TV.

Season 4 of The Boys shattered viewership records and raised the stakes even higher than in previous seasons, leaving the world in chaos and evil seemingly poised to win. But the cast and crew promise that the upcoming fifth and final season will be the wildest yet.

In an earlier interview with Variety, Kripke shared exciting production details for the final season and teased what the future holds for the The Boys universe beyond Season 5.

I know you’re in the writers’ room writing Season 5 now, so what is the timeline for shooting and when it will air?

It’s not...

Amazon’s The Boys TV series is slowly drawing towards its end, with the fifth season on the horizon. However, fans don’t need to be fraught since the creators are in no mood to end the franchise with the show. The satirical superhero show featured a bunch of intriguing characters who deserve to be explored.

Actress Aya Cash revealed in an interview that there are plans for a spin-off show with another popular co-star. Jensen Ackles plays Soldier Boy in the show while Cash portrays Stormfront. The duo will star in an upcoming series, Vought Rising, for which the actress claims the script is perfect.

The spin-off is expected to be a success

The Boys has been gaining a lot of attention from viewers ever since it premiered in 2019. Eric Kripke‘s superhero satire series is based on the comics of the same name created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.

Seven new “Bluey Minisodes” are coming to Disney+ starting Oct. 7. and will air on Disney Jr., Disney Channel and Disney Jr. On Demand throughout the week.

According to an official description, “The collection of one- to three-minute ‘Bluey Minisodes’ is a series of funny and sweet moments featuring Bluey and Bingo, leaning into playful interactions and games that further explore the characters and world of ‘Bluey.'”

The “Bluey Minisodes” are written by “Bluey” creator Joe Brumm and produced by Ludo Studio.

It should go without saying that The Boys is one of the most well-liked superhero shows in the world. With each successive season, Eric Kripke’s vision for the television program managed to propel Garth Ennis’ dark and twisted take on the superhero genre to new heights, making it one of the most-watched television shows ever.

We’ve chosen to go back and remember the incredible fourth season of the show, which concluded recently, as we get ready for its insane final season. As you recall, we hadn’t discussed Black Noir all that much previously, but this season he was really important because of his fascinating resurrection and a lot of other changes to the character.

Not that long ago, we reported on the franchise releasing an in-universe audition tape of Nathan Mitchell, the actor playing Black Noir, auditioning for the role of the “new” Black Noir, during that video,...

Spoilers for season 4 of "The Boys" to follow.

After four seasons of depravity, gnarly violence, extreme gore, gratuitous nudity and more brutal and heartbreaking sealife deaths than any modern superhero movie or TV show, "The Boys" is coming to an end with season 5. It makes sense, of course. Season 4 was a mean, bleak season of TV mired in misery. From the political satire that got too real to Homelander getting away with everything he could possibly imagine, and even a literal coup that all but disbands the titular "lads," there is only so much that "The Boys" can throw at its audience before it bears too strong a resemblance to the real world. Still, the show is doing a brilliant job of adapting its source material and making the story feel fresh and new while also following the comics.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, creator/showrunner Eric Kripke explained why he...

Snowpiercer, the show where Daveed Diggs plays a freedom fighter aboard a train rocketing through a dystopian wasteland, literally just wrapped up a few days ago, which means Diggs is newly unemployed. Hooray for good timing: it's been announced on the official page for The Boys that Diggs will be joining the show for its fifth and final season, although we don't have any details on who he'll be playing:

Ryan Murphy is back at it with another installation of his “American Story” franchise. The long-awaited “American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez” centers on the rise and fall of former NFL star Aaron Hernandez.

It’s been three years since the series was first announced in August 2021, and now with the cast finalized and production wrapped, the project is right around the corner in a living room near you. “West Side Story” and “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” breakout Josh Rivera stars as Hernandez and here makes his TV debut.

The series lands on FX on Tuesday, Sept. 17. Here’s a list of the cast and the real-life figures they play.

Josh Rivera as Aaron Rodriguez

Josh Rivera stars as late New England Patriots tight-end Aaron Rodriguez. He played for the team for three seasons before he was arrested and convicted for the murder of Odin Lloyd.

‘The Boys’ Season 4 recently aired and despite the initial backlash at the perceived wokeness it managed to break all the records as Amazon recently confirmed. We know that ‘The Boys’ universe is expanding at an unprecedented pace, several spinoffs are in development including the final season of the show.

Kripke already teased some of the things we can expect from the grand finale, and now Giancarlo Esposito, who plays Stan Edgar, teased an explosive finale for one of the most controversial shows.

Esposito recently talked to Deadline, commenting on his upcoming projects, ‘The Gentleman,’ ‘Megalopolis’ and ‘The Boys.’ ‘The Mandalorian’ star teased what appears to be a whirlwind season:

I think it’s going to be a whirlwind season,” he said. “Every show that comes to an end has an explosive ending in its final season, and The Boys is just such a very outrageous show, but also reflective of...

“The Boys” has become one of the most popular superhero series globally, with its fourth season recently concluding with a thrilling finale. While fans eagerly await the fifth and final season, which is expected to begin production soon, they can look forward to the second season of Gen V.

Gen V is the first spin-off from the main series, and it’s just the beginning. During this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, the showrunners revealed plans for several more spin-offs, including a Mexican version, as well as a series centered around Soldier Boy and Stormfront, sparking intriguing fan theories.

When asked which other character deserves a spin-off, series star Antony Starr expressed his interest in a Homelander spin-off—a prospect that sounds incredibly exciting to us!

The fourth season of The Boys sparked mixed reactions from fans and critics alike, but one aspect stood out as undeniable: Antony Starr’s portrayal of Homelander.

The Boys is one of the most popular superhero series in the world, and its fourth season ended recently after eight episodes, and it ended with a proper bang. We know that the series is coming back for a fifth and final season, whose production is probably going to start soon; in the meantime, we are getting ready for the second season of Gen V.

Gen V is the first spin-off of the main series, and as we found out, it is just one of many that we are going to see in the future, as the showrunners revealed during this year’s San Diego Comic-Con! And while a Mexican spin-off is on the way, Soldier Boy and Stormfront will also be getting their own spin-off series, which sparked an interesting theory!

Namely, when asked which character deserves their own spin-off series as well, the series’ star, Antony Starr, replied...

Women are falling out of focus on the small screen. According to a new report on gender and hiring in TV presented by IMDbPro and ReFrame — an initiative of Sundance Institute and Wif — women lost gains made over the past several years in nearly every position analyzed.

Last year’s data found that women (or gender-diverse performers) accounted for 54 percent of lead roles, while the new report details a decrease of 13 percent to 41 percent. Also released as part of the study, ReFrame and IMDbPro award a Stamp to recognize gender-balanced hiring on television shows, and this year 77 of the 200 most popular TV and streaming series of 2023-24 earned the distinction (or 38.5 percent). The total represents a dip of 8.5 percent from last year, or 20 percent from a peak in 2020-21.

For a third straight year, the bulk of Emmy nominees for best comedy series earned a stamp including Abbott Elementary, The Bear,...

To quote Billy Butcher, season 4 of The Boys was diabolical. It was nothing like the comic books, and that’s more than okay. Most of the story wouldn’t work in TV show form. Thankfully, showrunner Eric Kripke and the creative team recognized this and made the appropriate changes.

If you’re a fan of the show, the upcoming final season is bittersweet. Unlike Supernatural, it’s doubtful The Boys goes on past season 5. Except for Butcher and Homelander’s fight, all the stories have been told. Plus, there are spinoffs like Gen V, The Boys: Mexico, and possibly more. Deadline reports that Kripke, “hopes to be involved in the expansion of the world, but not as a showrunner.”

The spinoffs aren’t the only things to look forward to. Let's look at what else we know about season 5 of The Boys.

With “Gen V” becoming an instant fan-favorite and season four of “The Boys” garnering some of the best viewership numbers the series has ever received, showrunner Eric Kripke and Amazon are doubling-down on superhero satire.

“We’ve actually had this idea in our pocket for a really long time,” Kripke told Variety during an interview after the show’s Comic-Con panel Friday. “And in fact, when I went to Amazon, to pitch spinoffs, I came with two spinoffs, ‘Gen V’ and ‘Vought Rising.’ And at the time, they said, ‘Let’s start with “Gen V,”‘ and we’ll see how it goes and then maybe we’ll do ‘Rising.’ It turns out it went Ok.

“The Boys” also showed a strong showing on the Nielsen streaming charts, scoring 1.19 billion viewing minutes during the week of June 10-16, the third most-watched streaming program for that week week, clocking in behind...

Does Homelander hate women?

As season 4 of The Boys came to a close, Homelander actor Antony Starr sat down with Vulture for a deep dive into what makes the evil Superman tick, and one question in particular seemed to provide a lot of clarity.

When the interviewer asserted that Homelander seems to hate women, Starr was quick to dissuade that notion, stating that the lab-built superhero has conflicting feelings when it comes to the opposite sex.

"I think it’s a little more complicated than that [Laughs]," said Starr.

In response to the interviewer's reference to Madelyn Stillwell, Queen Maeve, Sister Sage and Firecracker, he replied, "Across the board, those actresses that you listed — fantastic. It’s vitally important that you have a good rapport with the people you’re working with, particularly when you’re dealing with this very strange Oedipal complex Homelander has."

"Homelander wasn’t raised with parents.

Get ready for a somewhat lengthy wait to see how phase 2 of Homelander and Sister Sage's dastardly plan for America shakes out. Actor Karl Urban has confirmed that the final season of The Boys won't begin streaming until 2026 in a post to his Instagram account.

"Working with the illustrious Jeffrey Dean Morgan was the best part of my day every day. That’s all @theboystv for now folks. See you in …2 years (wish it was sooner) for the final season on Prime Video," wrote Urban.

With the conclusion of the show's fourth season, The Boys has journeyed incredibly far from the source material (a 2006 Dynamite comic book series from Garth Ennis and illustrator Darick Robertson), meaning it is anyone's guess as to how the show will conclude.

In terms of why the show is ending at season 5, series creator Erik Kripke previously stated,...

Eight years after the release of Sausage Party, Seth Rogen is revisiting the world of talking food with new series Sausage Party: Foodtopia.

The show follows up the war against humans that took place in the film, as hot dog Frank (voiced by Rogen, who is also an executive producer) and his grocery store friends establish a safe haven that quickly goes awry. Kristen Wiig, Michael Cera, David Krumholtz and Edward Norton reprise their voice roles, with Will Forte, Natasha Rothwell, Sam Richardson and Yassir Lester among the new additions.

“We always hoped to do more, honestly,” Rogen told The Hollywood Reporter at the Los Angeles premiere on Wednesday. “We kept thinking about it, we kept making jokes about it; it was a thing we kind of never stopped talking about and never stopped enjoying the idea of.”

Of opting to do a follow-up series rather than a sequel film,...

The Boys Video Game is something that is on top of the wishlist of the gaming community. It is like a perfect match made in heaven a universe where superpowered beings are left unchecked and a gaming community that digs this violent and disturbing content.

The modding community took the responsibility into their own hands and developed a handful of mods featuring characters from that franchise into the Grand Theft Auto series. Complete with outfits and abilities, it is a no-brainer move to pass on this golden opportunity.

Spoilers for "The Boys" to follow.

"The Boys" season 4 is making the best use of its spin-off series "Gen V." The season is not only incorporating the supe-killing virus developed during "Gen V" season 1, but now some familiar faces are joining the party. Among them is the supe detective Robert Vernon/Tek Knight (Derek Wilson).

Introduced in "Gen V" episode 4, "The Whole Truth," Tek Knight debuted on "The Boys" itself in season 4, episode 5, "Beware The Jabberwock, My Son." The sixth and most recent episode, "Dirty Business," brings him back into focus as Hughie (Jack Quaid) goes undercover in Tek Knight's home: a stately manor.

"Gen V" already used Tek Knight as a Batman parody. On that show, his powers were established to be heightened senses that make him as observant as Sherlock Holmes or Adrian Monk. Unlike Batman, however, Tek Knight does have superpowers, but his are invisible ones. By...

Remember back at the beginning of this season when the weirdest thing we'd seen was a man giving himself the Human Centipede treatment?

Yeah, me too.

The Boys keeps us on our toes as usual with its latest episode, providing us with scenes no one asked for and no one will forget anytime soon.

And look, I'm not here to kinkshame. But after that dungeon scene, I think we've all earned the right to kink-question.

The episode started off on a dark note, with Butcher torturing Samir while Kessler watched, trying to convince him to make more of the supe-killing virus they need to stop Homelander.

Plus, Frenchie is still in prison, which is a bummer for everyone but especially Kimiko, who desperately misses her friend.

Can Victoria Neuman Explode Her Own Head in The Boys S4? If Not, Who Popped It? - Main Image

Can Victoria Neuman actually explode her own head? The preview trailer for The Boys season 4 episode 6 appears to show the running vice-president having her own head blown to bits, the same way she does her victims.

Could this mean she died? Or if not, can she pop her own skull? Does someone else possess the same power as she does? Find out here.

Spoiler Warning: This article contains spoilers from The Boys season 4 episode 6, so proceed with caution.

Victoria Neuman Seemingly Dies in The Boys

Victoria Neuman is one of the most promising candidates running for the Vice President role, but the recent preview promo for episode 6 seemingly shows that her head exploded.

Spoilers for "The Boys" season 4 follow.

"The Boys" season 4 has been teeing up that Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) is seeking a supe-killing virus, one introduced on season 1 of spin-off series "Gen V" (set between seasons 3 and 4 of "The Boys").

The fifth and latest episode — "Beware the Jabberwock, My Son" — sees the Boys going after the virus, which Butcher calls "the answer to our prayers." Vice President Elect Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) got her hands on the remaining virus samples in "Gen V" and this episode reveals she's overseeing further experiments with it. The Boys recruit former Vought International CEO, and Neuman's adoptive father, Stan Edgar (Giancarlo Esposito) to help them track down Neuman's secret lab.

The virus isn't the only "Gen V" connection; two of that show's main cast members show up in "Beware the Jabberwock, My Son." "Gen V" is set in a superhero college, Godolkin University, and...

This article contains spoilers for The Boys season 4 episode 5.

Prime Video’s The Boys always seemed like a prime candidate for spinoffs, which it eventually received in the form of both animated anthology The Boys Presents: Diabolical and college dramedy Gen V. Now these two shows have seeped into the consciousness of The Boys season 4, with the former giving us clues into Billy Butcher’s fate, and the latter building up anticipation for a potential supe-destroying virus that was finally revealed in the latest episode, “Beware the Jabberwock, My Son.”

As the intersection of these three shows starts to become tangible, The Boys creator Eric Kripke hopes that he doesn’t overwhelm fans with too many plot points. He spoke with Den of Geek about his excitement and carefully calculated intentions surrounding The Boys’ expanded world in an exclusive interview.

“It was really fun [seeing the shows intersect],” Kripke says. “I mean, obviously, now...

The Boys episode 5 lampoons Disney and we finally see those V’d-up chickens the trailer teased.

Spoiler warning! These reviews will be spoiler-free for the week in question, but will discuss previous seasons and episodes in detail.

There are days when I can’t quite believe this is my job. It tends to be the days when I get to write the words “V’d-up chickens and flying sheep”. Today is one of those days.

The trailer for The Boys season 4 teased farm animals that had been, shall we say, enhanced with Compound V, the serum which gives you superpowers. In the trailer, we saw a superpowered chicken burst through some poor guy’s chest and we’ve finally arrived at the episode that gives us a whole load of animals with superpowers.

Needless to say, I was a big fan of this episode.

But first, the episode opens with V52 Expo,...

In a development that’s sure to excite fans of both “Supernatural” and “The Boys,” discussions are underway for Jared Padalecki to make an appearance in the fifth and final season of Amazon Prime Video’s hit superhero satire. Eric Kripke, creator of both shows, has confirmed that talks are actively ongoing, potentially setting the stage for a reunion between Padalecki and his former “Supernatural” co-star Jensen Ackles.

Kripke, speaking to Entertainment Weekly, expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of bringing Padalecki into “The Boys” universe. “The value of that is to break the internet,” Kripke said. “So we’ll see whether it’s right for the story. But yes, it’s occurred to me that putting those two in a scene together would destroy much of the world, and that’s appealing.”

The timing seems fortuitous, as Padalecki’s schedule has recently opened up following the unexpected cancellation of his...
