Networks are gearing up for the launch of the fall TV season, and it's time for round-up!
Amazon is reportedly planning a spinoff of
The Boys according to
Variety. Shortly after the successful launch of S2 (see "
Can 'The Boys' Season Two Recapture the Dynamite Impact of the Debut? A View from the Set"), Amazon revealed that it was fast-tracking the development of a spinoff to be set at a college for young adult superheroes. The new series will be R-rated, and will feature similar satire to the original series.
Marvel Studios revealed that Samuel L. Jackson is headed to streaming on Disney+ as Nick Fury in a new series according to Variety. The Nick Fury series is currently in development at Disney Plus, and will likely be one of the biggest budgets for a Marvel series under Kevin Feige's reign. As a side note, Samuel L. Jackson last appeared as Nick Fury in Spider-Man: Far From Home where he had just boarded a Skrull ship headed to deep space (see "DVD Round-Up: 'Spider-Man: Far From Home,' ").

Resident Evil live-action series (see "

Variety released the August "Top Streaming Titles by Audience Share" numbers from 7Park Data, and Netflix's
Umbrella Academy claimed the top slot. Over the month of August, about 20% of 7Park panel viewers tuned in to watch
Umbrella Academy, and the second season of the show also claimed TV Time's "Top Binge Shows" (see "
