Amazon Prime Video’s action-packed superhero satire series ‘The Boys’ has recently revealed a sub-6-minute teaser video for the much-anticipated third season. The video was launched through the show’s promotional social media account Vought International, which features as a fictional multi-billion-dollar conglomerate that manages licensed superheroes or ‘supes’.
The teaser video is from the perspective of a promotional news channel called Vought News Network (VNN), which is portrayed as a news division of the corrupt Vought Industries. VNN’s news anchor Cameron Coleman (played by Matthew Edison) gives the viewers important updates following the events that occurred in ‘The Boys’ Season 3, under its ‘Seven on 7’ news segment.
The viewers are given some interesting updates regarding America’s ‘favorite’ superhero Homelander’s whereabouts, Hughie Campbell’s (Jack Quaid) appointment by Congresswoman Victoria Neuman, the cover-up for the death of blind superhero Blindspot, etc. The video also featured a midway commercial.
Regarding the show’s news channel VNN, showrunner Erik Kripke (via Entertainment Weekly) had stated that “Since the very start of The Boys, we’ve seen Vought’s propaganda arm — I mean, news channel — VNN. 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.”
It was further reported (via EW) that this teaser video is just the first in a VNN digital series that will be revealed on the seventh day of every month and each segment is said to comprise seven news stories. In line with the show’s content, ‘Seven’ is the key number here.
Fans will likely get an idea about what happened after the show’s second season cliff-hanger climax and might also get a head start ahead of ‘The Boys’ Season 3. The ‘Seven on 7’ news segment by Cameron Coleman will ostensibly find its way in the show’s upcoming season. However, Amazon Prime Video’s ‘The Boys’ Season 3 does not have a release date confirmation, yet.
