THE BOYS Spinoff in the Works at Amazon Following Massive Season 2 Launch
The Boys could soon be getting a spinoff.
Variety has learned that Amazon is fast-tracking development on a new iteration of the popular comic book series adaptation.
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.
The news comes just under three weeks after the premiere of Season 2 of the series, which is based on The New York Times best-selling comic of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. The second season is airing weekly, while the first dropped all at once, with the finale set to air Oct. 9. According to Amazon, the second season had the most-watched global launch of an Amazon original series ever, with the episodes to date having grown the audience from Season 1 by 89%. It was
renewed for a third season ahead of the Season 2 premiere while also adding an aftershow hosted by Aisha Tyler.
Craig Rosenberg is writing the pilot and will serve as showrunner and executive producer under his overall deal with Sony Pictures Television, with Rosenberg currently serving as writer and executive producer on the original series.
The Boys creator Eric Kripke will also executive produce along with
The Boys executive producer Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and James Weaver of Point Grey Pictures. Original Film’s Neal H. Moritz and Pavun Shetty, who also executive produce
The Boys, are also executive producers on the spinoff. Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television will produce.
