We’re still a couple of weeks out from The Boys returning with its second season, but based on the footage we’ve seen so far, it certainly looks as if we’re in for another wild ride. One that may even top the first run of the show, which was one of the best things that we’d seen on television in a long time.
Of course, trying to predict how something as crazy as The Boys is going to end up is a fool’s errand, but let’s not forget that it won’t be the only new thing arriving on Amazon Prime in September. Far from it, in fact.
Earlier today, the streaming service announced their entire line-up of new titles for next month and it’s a meaty list, comprising both films and television shows. And though The Boys may be the highlight for many...

An election season is fast-approaching in the U.S. So for its new releases in September 2020, Amazon Prime is bringing back one of its most political shows.
The Boys season 2 premieres its first three episodes on September 4. Though the show on its face is a superhero story, viewers of season 1 will know it’s really about America’s troubling embrace of entertainment with fascism. Sounds fun and not at all terrifying right before a presidential election!
That’s not the only bleak Amazon original on the schedule for September. British TV adaptation Utopia arrives on September 25. This Gillian Flynn-produced series follows fans of a comic book who believe it predicts…world-ending pandemics. Darn it. Amazon’s only original film this month is a…documentary about voter suppression from Liz Garbus called All In: The Fight for Democracy. Yikes.
For those of us who want to relax with some ‘member berries,...

Paul McGann, best known among fans of genre TV from Doctor Who as the eighth incarnation of the Time Lord, celebrates his 60th birthday today.
McGann initially had only a single outing as the Doctor in a TV movie aired in 1996, seven years after the series went on indefinite hiatus due to its steadily declining ratings and long before work began on the 2005 revamp, which will soon return for a second season with Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor.
Sometimes referred to as Enemy Within, the film was made as a pilot episode for a new series of Doctor Who produced with an American audience in mind, but fared poorly due to its radical alteration of the show’s core ideals and mishandling of established lore. However, McGann’s performance as the Doctor was still celebrated, and despite the movie’s failure he’s remained an integral aspect of the mythology.

April TV ratings bring May cancellations — but sometimes last-minute renewals, too.
Mid-spring marks the time of year when at-risk shows must sweat out their fates — sometimes right up until networks announce their fall schedules to advertisers at their upfront presentations in May. Optimism has its place in Hollywood, but it ranks somewhere between actual advertising money and the feel-good awards that can sometimes keep low-rated shows alive.
Generally, top-performing shows from each broadcast network have already received their votes of confidence for another season, and the worst performers were snuffed out months ago. But then there are the bubble shows, which could really go either way.
Their fates come down to lots of hard-to-quantify factors: momentum, reviews, how much they cost to make, how much money the people who watch them make, syndication situations, diversity, and what networks have to replace them. And then there are executives’ personal tastes. It’s part science,...

Welp, this is weird.
In a sneak peek from Monday’s “The Enemy Within” — which is exclusive to TheWrap — Erica Shepherd (Jennifer Carpenter) finally gets some much-needed quality time with her daughter, Hannah (played by Sophia Gennusa). However, the long-awaited reunion is a not-so-private family affair, seeing as the mother-daughter bonding session takes place in Erica’s prison cell.
The preteen finds the supervised visit pretty weird, obviously. And even though she’s happy to let her mother hold her, Hannah would like to chat with her alone so she can tell her something important. Only we don’t know exactly what that is yet, because Keaton (Morris Chestnut) comes down to tell Erica her time is up earlier than she expected.

“Brooklyn Nine-Nine” is happy in its new precinct. The former Fox sitcom, now patrolling the mean streets of NBC, is attracting 1 million more viewers per episode on its new channel than the old.
Through six NBC episodes this season, “Brooklyn” is averaging a 1.4 rating among adults 18-49 and 3.918 million viewers. Those Nielsen numbers count a week of delayed viewing for each episode, and they are up 8 percent and 34 percent, respectively, vs. the same point in the 2017-18 season.
At this point last season, the Andy Samberg comedy had aired 10 episodes, averaging a 1.3 rating and 2.918 million viewers. If we want to just compare six episodes to six episodes, the 2017-18 run’s first half-dozen half hours averaged a 1.3 rating and 2.923 million viewers — in other words, the growth is about the same either way you slice it.
So head to the ficticious Shaw’s Bar, NBC execs, and toast to a good decision all around.

NBC’s “The Voice” returned for its sixteenth season Monday night with a premiere that was up 24 percent among adults 18-49 versus the prior cycle’s finale and slightly ahead of that season’s debut, leading NBC to a win in that key demo and total viewers, according to preliminary data from Nielsen.
From 8-10 p.m., the two-hour Season 16 launch of “The Voice” scored a 2.1 rating and 10.8 million total viewers.
Last February, with huge momentum following three weeks of the high-rated Winter Olympics, “The Voice” Season 14 premiered to a big 2.8 rating and 12.3 million total viewers. Its most recent cycle launched in the fall to a 2.0 and 9.7 million viewers.

Are you in serious small-screen spy withdrawal since “The Americans” ended and “Killing Eve” has yet to return for its second season? Well, then NBC has a new show premiering tonight that might help quench your thirst for a cat-and-mouse game: “The Enemy Within.”
Described as a “character-based psychological thriller,” the Ken Woodruff-created series follows Erica Shepherd (Jennifer Carpenter), a brilliant former CIA operative, now known as one of the most notorious traitors in recent American history serving life in a Supermax prison. FBI Agent Will Keaton (Morris Chestnut) is forced to enlist Shepherd to help him track down another dangerous and elusive criminal she knows very well.
Per NBC, “While Shepherd and Keaton have different motivations for bringing the enemy to justice, they both know that to catch a spy… they must think like one.”

A mere sampling of some the films mentioned in Feminist Frequency’s thorough history of Hollywood whitewashing: “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” “Apache,” “Murder Over New York,” “Prince of Persia,” “Aloha,” “Gods of Egypt,” “Ghost in the Shell,” “Dr. Strange,” and “A Beautiful Mind.”

Host Anita Sarkeesian walks us through these examples while laying out in simple terms just why such images are so harmful:
“One of the most insidious tools of white supremacy is its insistence on whiteness as the racial default or as an ethnic ’empty’ category. White people manage to exist in a kind of invisible zone, where they are assumed to not have a race or ethnicity. This allows whiteness to wear the cultural, religious, or social signifiers of other ethnic communities, as if they were merely accessories to be purchased at the mall.
