The Boys Spinoff Loses Third Cast Member Amid Creative Changes
Prime Video's upcoming The Boys spinoff loses cast member Reina Hardesty amid major behind-the-scenes creative changes for the series. Based on a comic series of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys presents a world similar to the universes of DC or Marvel. However, beneath the veneer of superheroism displayed by many of its characters lies a dark landscape of violence and depravity as the series explores the corruption that goes on when superheroes have few people in the world to challenge them.

However, in the intervening months, many notable changes have taken place behind the scenes.
