- The Boys’ last season faced immense pressure to conclude its story but fell short of its earlier sharp satire.
- The narrative pace suffered as the show struggled to build urgency with limited episodes remaining.
- Performances by key characters like Homelander and Firecracker offered some standout moments amid overall fatigue.
- Plans for spin-offs and a franchise feel undermined the impact of a finale that lacked focus and ambition.
in absolute terror of becoming the thing we’ve been satirizing for five years.— Eric Kripke, showrunner; quoted in Gizmodo's article about The Boys' final season

- Netflix is creating a prequel to The Crown focusing on monarchs from Edward VII to George VI.
- The storyline covers the period from Queen Victoria’s death to Queen Elizabeth II’s wedding.
- Concerns exist about audience fatigue due to many shows set in the early 20th century.
- Writing is underway, with casting expected to start next year for the spin-off series.
This is exciting! The early seasons of The Crown were great at delving into history and politics, which I feel were sadly missing from the later seasons. This is going to cover some interesting historical territory.— AlternativeBeing181, a Reddit user, commenting on why the prequel could cover interesting historical territory
