Matthew Edison starred as Cameron Coleman (a
parody of
Tucker Carlson and
J. K. Simmons'
Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)
portrayal of J. Jonah Jameson), with the majority of
The Boys main cast reprising their roles in a guest capacity in the series.
Amazon Prime Video had its chief marketing group creative director Matt Motschenbacher write-direct the videos, which follow Coleman as he commentates on the immediate aftermath of the
second season of
The Boys, and the buildup to the series'
third season, while featuring numerous
easter eggs to the wider VCU, including such events such as the pursuit of
Cindy (a
parody of
Stranger Things Eleven) by
Black Noir. In addition to archive footage from the first two seasons, the videos also use original material, in particular
music videos and footage intended to set up the events of both the series' third season and the
spin-off Gen V, with
Amazon Prime Video officially announcing the series as: “
Seven on 7 on VNN [Vought News Network] [is] a news program set within the universe of “The Boys” that is intended to “bridge the gap” between Seasons 2 and 3. VNN’s episodes of
Seven on 7 will be released the 7th of every month and each will have 7 stories per episode plus a commercial. Additionally, the VNN anchor Cameron Coleman, portrayed by
Matthew Edison, will also be a VNN anchor in Season 3 of the series. VNN episodes will be an anchor series for the newly launched, wholly in-world channels @VoughtINTL on
YouTube,
Instagram and
Twitter. Everything posted to @VoughtINTL does not break the
fourth wall and remains entirely in the world of
The Boys,’ even as real-world and in-world blend and overlap in fun, surprising ways.” Intended to be a "takedown of conservative news television",
The Boys showrunner and
Seven on 7 writer
Eric Kripke further described the series to
Entertainment Weekly as: "Since the very start of
The Boys, we've seen Vought's propaganda arm — I mean, news channel — VNN, [and] We'll be digging deeper into those fair and balanced patriots next season, so as a teaser, we're introducing
Seven on 7 with VNN's biggest star Cameron Coleman. The episodes are in-world canon, serving up brand-new information that bridges the story gap between season 2 and 3. So enjoy the hot takes and catheter commercials, just like your parents do!" ==Release==
