The Boys is getting ready to end its second season on Amazon, but the show’s universe may be expanding. The streaming service is working on a spin-off of the dark superhero drama that’s set in a college for “supes”.
Variety revealed more about the plans for the Prime Video spin-off:
“The spinoff is set at America’s only college exclusively for young adult superheroes (or “supes”) that is run by Vought International. It is described as an irreverent, R-rated series that explores the lives of hormonal, competitive supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the best contracts in the best cities. Part college show, part Hunger Games — with all the heart, satire and raunch of The Boys.”
Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capon, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, Elisabeth Shue, Colby Minifie, and Aya Cash star in the current second season of the series.
The Boys TV show already has already been renewed for a third season, and season two will air its finale on October 9th.
What do you think? Are you a fan of The Boys on Amazon? Will you watch the spin-off if it goes to series?
Love The Boys.. But I’m not sold on a version of this done in a college.. Adults being adults help make the show. I cannot see those same adults who watch a The Boys be as involved with younger actors. Don’t see it.. Perhaps they may be going after that dark college based audience whose parents tell the mature ones to watch The Boys.. Feels a bit reaching to me.
Have you read the comics?!? They can make it work – believe me!
Bring on the G – MEN!
Quite possibly the best of the super hero shows and the satire and sarcasm are so funny.
So they are ripping off Super Powereds.
i thinks Amazon will do a good job
Not a fan. Action is on creepy side. Lots of America values bad SJW stuff.
