The Amazon series, based on the comic book of the same name, follows the lives of superheroes when they’re not saving civilians. While they may be celebrities to the public, the vigilantes are not all they profess to be behind the scenes.  

While a third season of The Boys is in production, Amazon has officially ordered a spin-off of the Emmy-nominated show. 

The new series will be set in the same universe at a college for young adult superheroes, and is expected to be R-rated like its predecessor. Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, Shane Paul McGhie, Aimee Carrero, Reina Hardesty, and Maddie Phillips will star, while Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters will take over as showrunners from Craig Rosenberg who left over creative differences. 

No release date has been announced as yet.

This is the first major role on TV for the oscar-nominated actor since he appeared in ABC’s The Young Riders at the end of the 1980s and beginning of the 1990s. The former Avengers villain is gearing up for a busy year as he will also be seen in Sean Penn’s Flag Day and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune. In addition, we will see him return to the part of Cable in X-Force, a spinoff for Deadpool. Brolin is also slated to reprise his role as Thanos in an animated Marvel’s What If?… series when it streams on Disney+ in 2021. 

Outer Range will follow Brolin as Royal Abbott — a rancher who comes across a mystery on his land in Wyoming. It is created by Brian Watkins and will be executive produced by Brad Pitt via Plan B Entertainment, Lethal Weapon’s Zev Borow and Frozen River’s Heather Rae alongside Brolin and Walkins. Plan B has recently signed a TV deal with Amazon. It is also behind the streamer’s upcoming event series, The Underground Railroad, directed by Moonlight’s Barry Jenkins.

One of the streaming service’s flagship shows is Jack Ryan which stars John Krasinski as a CIA analyst who is forced to venture into the field. The action-packed drama will now be joined by another show based on a fictional character named Jack who kicks bad guys’ butts. 

Amazon has officially given a green light to a series adaptation of Jack Reacher which starred Tom Cruise in the titular role in films that came out in 2012 and 2016.

Lee Child, who authored the Jack Reacher books will act as an executive producer, while Scorpion creator, Nick Santora, will serve as showrunner. The first season will be based on the first novel in the series entitled The Killing Floor.

“Lee Child has created an incredible character and world; it will be the goal of every writer, producer, actor, executive and crew member to capture the essence of Mr. Child’s books — and luckily Lee has been there, and will continue to be there, to help guide us along the way in this series. He is the pulse of Reacher,” said Santora.

It is highly unlikely that Cruise will reprise his role for the series.

Amazon banks on Lord of the Rings to replace Game of Thrones as a tremendously popular fantasy show. It appears the network is very confident with the show as it has already ordered a second season, while the shooting of the first season is yet to start.

Lord of the Rings is based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, of course, but is set to take place thousands of years prior to the events depicted in the novels and the successful movie trilogy.

Aramayo will join Joseph Mawle who also played on Game of Thrones. Mawle, who played Benjen Stark, joined the cast last October and will probably play the Villainous Oren. The production is due to begin this year.
