Amazon Studios greenlights spin-off of hit superhero drama The Boys

Amazon Studios has ordered a new series spinoff of The Boys, the Emmy-nominated subversive superhero drama from Sony Pictures Television. Set at America’s only college exclusively for young-adult superheroes (run by Vought International), the series explores the lives of hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual and moral boundaries to the test. Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, Shane Paul McGhie, Aimee Carrero, Reina Hardesty and Maddie Phillips will portray young superheroes, with additional cast to be announced.

The Boys’ show runner and executive producer Eric Kripke says, “Much like Mork & Mindy spin-off from Happy Days—which is an insane and true fact—our spinoff will exist in the Vought Cinematic Universe, yet have a tone and style all its own. It’s our take on a college show, with an ensemble of fascinating, complicated, and sometimes deadly Young Supes. We love this show and can’t wait for you to see it. Also, Baywatch Nights spin-off from Baywatch, and it had vampires. Vampires!”

The Boys recently wrapped the production of Season 3.
