Chris Fleming Peacock Comedy Special; The Boys Spinoff Gen V Drops Sept. 29
From the eccentric mind behind hit YouTube series Gayle, and a mainstay of alternative comedy for over a decade, Chris Fleming: Hell explores performance anxiety through surreal comedy, sketches, and more.
Chris Fleming: Hell is directed by Cat Solen and produced by Jax Media. Chris Fleming, Cat Solen, Jen Statsky, Brooke Posch, John Skidmore, Jake Fuller, Molly Mandel, and Olivia Doud serve as executive producers.
In the one-hour special premiering August 18, Chris Fleming lights up Dynasty Typewriter as he explores the unique hell of performance anxiety through musical comedy, anecdotes about Phil Collins, and everything in between. His surreal take on the plight of being a live performer is accompanied by absurdist sketches depicting the artist's journey through Hollywood and the mystical nature of live theater.
Prime Video released the official teaser trailer for the highly anticipated Amazon Original series Gen V. The series will debut exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories around the world with three episodes on Friday, September 29, followed by weekly episodes, leading up to the epic season finale on Friday, November 3. Gen V will be a part of the savings, convenience, and entertainment that Prime members enjoy in a single membership.
The official teaser gives audiences a peek into life at Godolkin University, America's only college exclusively for young-adult superheroes (run by Vought International). From the world of The Boys comes Gen V, which explores the training of the first generation of superheroes to know about Compound V, and that their powers were injected into them, rather than God-given. These young, competitive heroes put their physical and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the school's highly coveted top ranking. They quickly come to learn that ambition comes with sacrifice, and the difference between right and wrong is not as clear as they once believed. When the university's dark secrets come to light, the students must come to grips with what type of heroes they are going to become.
The series cast includes Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Marco Pigossi. Gen V also features guest stars Clancy Brown and Jason Ritter, as well as appearances from Jessie T. Usher, Claudia Doumit, Colby Minifie, and P.J. Byrne, reprising their roles from The Boys.
