Creative production budgetary friction is a good thing.

It always yields unexpected answers, whether thats where youre going to shoot, how many days youll take.

We are here to make TV shows, period.

My holy grail has always been a show that continues to trend up as the seasons go.

Season 4 was the highest viewed of any season ofThe Boys, said Pope.

Within the first 30 days there were about 55 million.

We push very hard to at least get the scripts written earlier or allow for some acceleration.

In such a saturated world, we cant afford to lose fans.

Its hard enough to get them.
