Amazon Prime Video’s ‘The Boys’ based on the comic book series of the same name has a cult fanbase dedicated to itself. The series was impeccable in depicting superheroes with flaws and villainized them to a certain extent taking a brave step in the world of MCU and DCU, who always put their superheroes on a pedestal. The first season on the series worked so well that a second season was renewed and aired soon after.
However, ‘The Boys’ madness does not stop there because Amazon Studios just greenlighted a spin-off series based on it. Meanwhile, ‘The Boys’ is also renewed for season 3.
The Boys Spin-off Details Spilled
The news about ‘The Boys’ spin-off being in the works have been around for some time now, but it was not until recently that Amazon Studios confirmed it. The untitled upcoming spin-off series is going to be R-rated and set against the backdrop of an exclusive American ‘superhero’ college. Sounds much like Mike Mitchell’s Sky High? We thought so too!
Amazon describes the spinoff as “an irreverent, R-rated series that explores the lives of hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the best contracts in the best cities.”

The showrunners are Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, who are also on the list of executive producers, alongside ‘The Boys’ showrunner Eric Kripke. Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, Shane Paul McGhie, Aimee Carrero, Reina Hardesty and Maddie Phillips will star in the show.
Creator Eric Kripke has also released a statement regarding the upcoming spin-off, which reads:
“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!”

Kripke’s press release gives us hints on how this spin-off will be different from the original series. However, they both will exist in the same universe- Vought Cinematic Universe.
Meanwhile, ‘The Boys’ season 3 just wrapped up shooting and will be out in 2022. You can stream the existing seasons of ‘The Boys’ on Amazon Prime Video.
