Vought News Network: Seven on 7 with Cameron Coleman (also known as Seven on 7 on VNN [Vought News Network], or simply Seven on 7) is an American faux current affairs digital series serving as the center of several viral marketing campaigns created by Amazon Prime Video for their streaming television series The Boys. Directed by Matt Motschenbacher, and based on the fictional Vought News Network (VNN)[broken anchor]—a parody of the Cable News Network (CNN) as well as Fox News—the YouTube videos initially began as marketing for The Boys—developed by Eric Kripke—and resulting cinematic universe media franchise—an adaptation of the DC-WildStorm/Dynamite Entertainment comic series of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson—and deal with major events between the events of the second and third seasons of the series, and later the spin-off Gen V.[1]

The first season of the news program is presented by Matthew Edison as Cameron Coleman—a parody of Tucker Carlson and J. K. Simmons' Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) portrayal of J. Jonah Jameson—who later reprised his role from the series in the third season of The Boys. Several actors reprise their roles from the television series in faux interview and corporate advertising campaign segments, while archival footage and imagery of others is also used. The initial videos were released from July to December 2021, focusing on the immediate aftermath of the second season of The Boys leading up to the third season and Gen V spin-off, following the former season's production delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Following a shortened second season, a third season leading up to the events of the fourth season of The Boys and Gen V entered active development.

The videos are accompanied by additional marketing materials, such as in-universe web articles and social media posts. The series was positively received, seen as better than average viral marketing campaigns, and as a fun and insightful expansion of The Boys franchise for fans of it.
