The Boys College Spinoff Show Star Compares Series To Euphoria
Patrick Schwarzenegger compares the upcoming college spinoff of The Boys to Euphoria. Euphoria is the hit HBO Max teen series created by Sam Levinson and based on the Israeli series of the same name. It follows Spider-Man: No Way Home and Dune's Zendaya as Rue, one of many troubled teens who are struggling with a variety of issues including domestic violence and drug addiction. While Zendaya was certainly the show's biggest star when it originally premiered season 1 in 2019, Euphoria has made A-listers out of many of its newcomer cast members including Alexa Demie, Sydney Sweeney, Angus Cloud, Hunter Schafer, and Australian heartthrob Jacob Elordi.
The Boys' impending spinoff doesn't necessarily draw a natural comparison to the dark drama. The Boys, which is currently airing season 3 on Prime Video, is based on the DC Comics series of the same name that follows a group of irreverent vigilantes who are dead set on bringing down a satirical version of the Justice League. In September 2020, it was announced that the violent and darkly comic series would be getting a spinoff called The Boys Presents: Varsity, which would focus on a college for young superheroes. The show is currently filming in Toronto with an ensemble that includes Schwarzenegger, who is a recurring cast member alongside Marco Pigossi, and Save the Last Dance and Not Another Teen Moviestar Sean Patrick Thomas.
