As a longtime fan of Eric Kripke’s unique storytelling and intriguing universes, I’m thrilled to see his latest projects that continue to push boundaries and offer fresh perspectives. Having grown up on shows like “Supernatural” and “The Boys,” I can confidently say that Kripke has a knack for creating complex characters and immersive worlds that keep viewers hooked.
1. “The characters from The Boys have been scattered throughout their peculiar and brutal universe. The fourth season of the popular Amazon Prime show – beware, spoilers ahead! – concluded with almost all the Boys being detained at Homelander’s command, leaving fans of The Boys feeling the absence of Supes versus vigilantes. Unfortunately, it will take some time before creator Eric Kripke is prepared to resume production on the final season.”
As a long-time fan of “The Boys” and someone who eagerly awaited the fifth season, I was disheartened to learn that we might have to wait a year or more for its return. But, being an optimistic person, I decided to turn lemons into lemonade and explore other shows that could quench my thirst for superhero stories in the meantime.
Supacell (Netflix)
they all carry the sickle cell trait common among people of African descent. However, instead of the disease taking a toll on them, it grants each character unique superpowers – such as time travel, invisibility, and superhuman strength. Faced with a sinister threat, these individuals must unite to save themselves and the world. Rapman views his production, which was inspired by the death of George Floyd and draws parallels to shows like “Misfits,” “Heroes,” or “The Boys” Gen V, as more of a sci-fi drama than a superhero series. He emphasizes that its unique elements, including its south London setting, predominantly black cast, and grounded storytelling, make it distinct.
Batman: Caped Crusader (Prime Video)
As a longtime fan of Batman and animated series, I’m thrilled to hear that the upcoming Amazon Prime production, spearheaded by executive producers Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Sam Register, promises an intriguing take on the Caped Crusader’s origin story (premiering Aug. 1). In a recent interview with Empire magazine, Timm shared that this rendition of Batman will delve deeper into the character’s early days as Gotham City’s protector.
Pennyworth: The Origin Story of Batman’s Butler (Max)
Staying on theme but leaving the world of animation, some fans might argue that Pennyworth is one of the best below-the-radar shows that ever came out of HBO/Max. There are no superheroes, and Bruce Wayne isn’t even born yet in this prequel show about Batman’s famed butler. But there are plenty of weird villains, ‘60s cult technologies and enough psychedelic storylines to grab your attention. Executive produced by Bruno Heller and Danny Cannon, Pennyworth tells the story about young former British soldier Alfred Pennyworth (Jack Bannon), who returns back to an alternate London where there is a civil war going on and public executions. A fascist group called the Raven Society puts Alfred in their crosshairs, but he befriends two CIA agents, Thomas Wayne and Martha Kane (the future parents of Batman), who, along with the British government and Pennyworth’s security agency, fight the anarchists. The series only ran for three seasons between 2019 and 2022, but can still be seen on Max. For now, Max has no plans to make a fourth season.
Supernatural (The CW)
As a devoted fan of supernatural series and someone who has spent countless hours binge-watching shows that delve into the paranormal, I can confidently say that “Supernatural,” starring Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles as the Winchester brothers, is one of the most captivating and enduring television series of our time. Having followed its 15-season journey on the CW network since its inception in 2005, I can attest to the show’s ability to keep audiences hooked with its blend of suspense, drama, and a touch of humor.
Class of ‘09 (FX)
In May 2021, the first episode of “Class of ’09,” a eight-part series, premiered on FX. This show focuses on the experiences of seven FBI candidates, or recruits, at Quantico in 2009, depicting their friendships and professional growth up until 2023. However, their bonds are put to the ultimate test in the future year of 2034 when one of them creates a revolutionary AI software that mirrors the societal structure of “Minority Report.” In this dystopian society, crimes are predicted and suspects arrested or even eliminated without legal proceedings. Produced by Tom Rob Smith, this thought-provoking limited series explores the ethical complexities of advanced technology.
Gen V (Prime Video)
Despite The Boys coming to an end, the universe it inhabits will carry on. Notably, Amazon Prime’s Gen V is expected to make a return and delve into the lives of young superpowered individuals at Godolkin University for Crimefighting. Many students aim to master their abilities, party heartily, and experience romantic encounters. However, others feel like outcasts in a society that often fears them, with parents pushing them towards Vought International and Homelander, hoping they’ll join The Seven. As these young Supes navigate their identities, chaos and fatal mishaps are inevitable. In the meantime, fans can watch season one on Prime Video before the next installment is unveiled.
Those About to Die (Peacock)
As a gamer, I’d say: “I know there aren’t any superheroes like The Boys in real life. But that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy the chaos and excitement of Eric Kripke’s show! The 10-episode series on Peacock, released July 18, is still filled with what drew millions to this flagship: bloodshed, brutality, deceit, and vengeance. In Those About to Die, created by Robert Rodat and featuring Anthony Hopkins, we delve into the lives of fearless and dangerous gladiators during Emperor Vespasian’s reign in A.D. 79. This thrilling journey through Rome’s inner turmoil leading to its decline after the Year of the Four Emperors is packed with enough action, sex, and gore to keep me hooked until The Boys returns for its final season.”
