Vought News Network Digital Series Launches To Tide Us Over Until THE BOYS Season 3 Releases [Video]
Season 3 of The Boys won’t be releasing anytime soon. Amazon and the show’s producers have something in the works to keep us satisfied in the meantime. Entertainment Weekly revealed today in an exclusive that “Amazon is launching a VNN digital series, bringing viewers news segments from the Vought News Network, that Fox News-esque media division of the corrupt Vought Industries from inside the world of the satirical superhero series.”
The first episode launched on Amazon’s new Vought International social media accounts, serves as an example of how VNN will be giving us pieces of the ongoing story ahead of season 3.
Matthew Edison stars as Cameron Coleman, anchor of the VNN ‘Seven on 7’ segments. Episodes of VNN will come out on the 7th of every month, featuring seven news stories and one commercial. The episodes will plant more seeds for season 3 as they progress, and Edison as Cameron Coleman will also be seen in The Boys Season 3.
“Since the very start of The Boys, we’ve seen Vought’s propaganda arm — I mean, news channel — VNN,” showrunner Eric Kripke said in a statement to EW. “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 season 2 and 3. So enjoy the hot takes and catheter commercials, just like your parents do!”
“As revealed by Cameron, Hughie Campbell (Jack Quaid) has been appointed senior analyst on Congresswoman Neuman’s (Claudia Doumit) team. Neuman became the director of the Office of Supe Affairs in the season 2 finale. VNN also has a Vought-approved explanation for the death of Blindspot (Chris Mark), the blind supe that Homelander (Antony Starr) just straight-up maimed at the start of season 2. Cameron chalks it up to the supe being M.I.A. after an overseas mission in Argentina.
And for non-news updates, VNN gives us The Boys‘ version of MyPillow’s Mike Lindell with OurSheet’s Mickey Londale.”
This is an innovative step, allowing the story to step outside of the boundaries of episodic television. Subscribe to the Vought International channel here.
