Ready for even more twisted tales of the sociopathic superheroes known as The Seven? Ahead of their season two premiere on September 4th, Amazon Studios announced that it has officially ordered a third season of The Boys. Like the first two seasons, Amazon is co-producing the series with Sony Pictures Television. Producers Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and showrunner Eric Kripke are once again on board. They shared the news on Thursday during The Boys Comic-Con@Home Panel.

Amazon also revealed that Emmy Award-winning Aisha Tyler will serve as host and executive producer of the official The Boys aftershow Prime Rewind: Inside The Boys. In each episode of Prime Rewind: Inside The Boys, members of the cast, creative team and other special guests will join Tyler as they dissect the events that unfold in each episode. The aftershow starts with the upcoming second season.

In a statement, The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke said “The writers and I are hard at work in the (virtual) writer’s room and we’re sad to say, the world has given us way too much material.  We hope to be shooting in early 2021, but that’s up to a microscopic virus. As if that wasn’t enough, we’re bringing you a Season 2 after show, Prime Rewind: Inside The Boys. Double entendre intended. Hosted by the incomparable Aisha Tyler and guest starring the cast and crew, it’s a deep dive into how we make this insane thing.  Seriously, thanks to Sony, Amazon and the fans. We love making this show so much, and we’re thrilled we get to make more.”

The Boys is unlike any other superhero show on TV at the moment. The original comic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson ran for six years and 72 issues, so there are definitely several seasons worth of stories to mine from the source material. Given how much fans have embraced the series, we think we will be seeing far more of this twisted superhero universe for many more years to come.

British neurologist and best-selling author Dr. Oliver Sacks died in 2015, leaving fans of his work and many books on “the brain’s quirks” in mourning. Now an upcoming documentary film, Oliver Sacks: His Own Life, will explore the origins and career of the brilliant, eccentric, and sometimes-controversial man who called the brain “the most incredible thing in the universe” and was the first to tell many of its stories.

Sacks was famous for books like The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Hallucinations, The Island of the Colorblind, An Anthropologist on Mars, Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain, and many more. He explored fascinating case histories of his patients and a wide array of neurological disorders, bringing mainstream attention and understanding to both widely known and unknown conditions. As Oliver Sacks: His Own Life describes, Sacks “was a fearless explorer of unknown cognitive worlds who helped redefine our understanding of the brain and mind, the diversity of human experience, and our shared humanity.”

The boundary-pushing Sacks was quite the character, and not without critics of his books and undertakings. His Own Life features exclusive interviews with Sacks begun just weeks after he received a terminal cancer diagnosis, as well as in the months before his death. In his own words, Sacks shares “intimate details of his battles with drug addiction, homophobia, and a medical establishment that accepted his work only decades after the fact.” Dozens of additional “deeply revealing” interviews with his friends, family, colleagues, and patients will help flesh out the full picture. It looks like the film will be unafraid to shy away from controversy, including the criticism Sacks received from some medical and disability studies communities, and will provide a deep dive into the doctor’s personal history.

As someone long interested in Sacks and his storied career, I can’t wait to see what His Own Life has in store. According to Zeitgeist films, the movie will be “opening theatrically at Film Forum and theatrically and on virtual cinema platform Kino Marquee nationwide late Summer and Fall 2020.”
