The Boys: Diabolical trailer looks appropriately out of control
Amazon released a new trailer for The Boys: Diabolical, the new animated spinoff of the gory anti-superhero series The Boys, on Wednesday, offering a new glimpse at the ultra-violent shenanigans fans can expect to see when it premieres on Prime Video next month.
The series, an animated anthology series of eight 12- to 14-minute episodes, each with their own distinct animation style and set in the universe of The Boys, is being produced by Titmouse, the adult-animation studio behind such shows as Paramount Plus’ Star Trek: Lower Decks, Netflix’s The Midnight Gospel, Hulu’s Animaniacs reboot, and Amazon’s Invincible and Critical Role series The Legend of Vox Machina.
Garth Ennis, who wrote the original comic book version of The Boys, is one of the credited writers on the series alongside musical artist and movie star Awkwafina (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings); Lonely Island’s Andy Samberg; longtime writing partners Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg; Spliced creator and Invincible screenwriter Simon Racioppa; Archer’s Aisha Tyler; Rick and Morty’s Justin Roiland and Ben Bayouth; and sibling duo Ilana Glazer (co-creator of Broad City) and Eliot Glazer (producer of New Girl).
