While Comic-Con looks very different this year due to coronavirus restrictions, the convention must go on, albeit from home.

While the landscape of cinema releases and the global TV schedule is very much in flux, it's still nice to look ahead at what's to come and for Amazon, that means the return of their most popular show to date, The Boys.

If you haven't seen Season 1 of the excellent adaptation of Garth Ennis' graphic novels, you really should change that. Imagine Deadpool's tongue in cheek humour but mixed with an incredible amount of gore and gags.

Essentially, in this world, superheroes are as influential as politicians and revered as Gods. However, they abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It's the powerless against the powerful as The Boys embark on a mission to expose the truth about "The Seven", and their formidable Vought backing

Trust us, it's the antithesis of most comic-book films.

Well, after the memorable end to Season 1 (we're saying nothing), Season 2 picks up with The Boys on the run from the law, as they struggle to fight back against the superheroes.

Naturally, things get bloody.

As film fans will know, horror-comedy is also the forte of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Well, the duo have a new show Truth Seekers and that's being released on Amazon Prime Video later this year too.

The eight-episode series will premiere in Autumn 2020 and the supernatural comedy series revolves around a team of part-time paranormal investigators who team up to uncover and film ghost sightings across the UK, sharing their adventures on an online channel for all to see.

However, as they stake out haunted churches, underground bunkers, and abandoned hospitals with their array of homemade ghost-detecting gizmos, their supernatural experiences grow more frequent, more terrifying, and even deadly, as they begin to uncover a conspiracy that could bring about Armageddon for the entire human race.

We're getting strong vibes of Ghostbusters and Spaced here.

Finally, the BBC has unveiled the first footage from Season 2 of His Dark Materials.

While Season 1 took a while to warm up, we fully expect the new season to hit the ground running because The Subtle Knife is an outstanding book.

The biggest piece of news to emerge from the panel, however, is that a Fleabag reunion is on the cards, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge voicing the dæmon of Andrew Scott’s Colonel John Parry.
