The Boys Spinoff Ideas Are Always Being Discussed By Producers
Executive producers and long-time writing partners, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are always discussing The Boys spinoff ideas. The Boys is based on Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s comic of the same name, following a group of dysfunctional vigilantes who team up to bring justice to abusive, greedy superheroes Aka “Supes” and the corrupt conglomerate, Vought International, that manages them. While originally conceived as a feature film, The Boys premiered on Amazon Prime Video in 2019, and has since become one of the streaming service’s biggest shows and was even nominated for Outstanding Drama at the Primetime Emmy Awards.
In its first two seasons, The Boys revealed that superheroes/superpowers are the result of tests run by Vought using Compound-V—Supes are injected with the drug when they are children and then develop their abilities over time. In December, Karl Urban announced The Boys Presents: Diabolical from The Boys showrunner/executive producer Eric Kripke and producers Rogen and Goldberg. The animated anthology consists of 12–14-minute episodes, written/animated by different creatives, and set in the world of the flagship series. All eight episodes of the series became available Friday. The first of which, “Laser Baby’s Day Out,” follows its titular toddler and the Vought scientist trying to protect her in a bloody Looney Tunes-esque installment written by Rogen and Goldberg.
