Amazon is officially moving forward with The Boys spin-off series, which will now be overseen by Agent Carter showrunners Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters.
It’s been known for over a year that Amazon was looking to capitalize on the massive success of The Boys with a spin-off series focused on Vought International’s superhero college. Craig Rosenberg was originally the showrunner for the planned spin-off but departed over creative differences.
The Boys spin-off series has now found its new showrunners, with Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters (Agent Carter) taking over the head writer duties. Here’s what The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke said about the hiring of Fazekas and Butters as the series gets the green light at Amazon:
“Much like Mork & Mindy spun-off from Happy Days — which is an insane and true fact — our spinoff will exist in the Vought Cinematic Universe, yet have a tone and style all its own. It’s our take on a college show, with an ensemble of fascinating, complicated and sometimes deadly Young Supes. Michele and Tara are stone-cold geniuses, we’re thrilled to have them steer this ship, and grateful to Sony and Amazon for the opportunity. We love this show and can’t wait for you to see it. Also, Baywatch Nights spun-off from Baywatch, and it had vampires. Vampires!”
Here is the official synopsis for the second season of The Boys:
The even more intense, more insane season two finds The Boys on the run from the law, hunted by the Supes, and desperately trying to regroup and fight back against Vought. In hiding, Hughie (Jack Quaid), Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso), Frenchie (Tomer Capon) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) try to adjust to a new normal, with Butcher (Karl Urban) nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Starlight (Erin Moriarty) must navigate her place in The Seven as Homelander (Antony Starr) sets his sights on taking complete control. His power is threatened with the addition of Stormfront (Aya Cash), a social media-savvy new Supe, who has an agenda of her own. On top of that, the Supervillain threat takes center stage and makes waves as Vought seeks to capitalize on the nation’s paranoia.
The Boys stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capon, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, and Colby Minifie, and Jensen Ackles.
The Boys is available on Amazon Prime Video. Stay tuned for all the latest news on the show’s upcoming third season, the spin-off series, and be sure to subscribe to Heroic Hollywood’s YouTube channel for more original video content!
