The Boys Spin-Off: It's Official, The Show Is Going To College

Around this time last year, The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke announced that a spin-off series was in the works that would follow some Supes-in-training at a Vought International-sponsored college. Well, the show is now officially greenlit by Amazon.

Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, Aimee Carrero, Shane Paul McGhie, Reina Hardesty and Maddie Phillips were announced to lead the cast, while Agent Carter, Reaper and Dollhouse producers Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters will head up the as-yet untitled spin-off. The pair are taking over following the exit of The Boys executive producer Craig Rosenberg, who reportedly departed the spin-off over creative differences.

Though plot details are unknown, The Boys spin-off show is described as a similarly irreverent, raunchy, R-rated series to its mothership, which will explore the lives of hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual and moral boundaries to the test and compete for the best contracts in the best cities.

“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,” says Kripke. “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!”.

We’re not quite sure what these comparisons mean for The Boys spin-off, but we are intrigued. Season 3 of The Boys, meanwhile, has recently finished production, though we are still awaiting a release date. While you wait, why not refresh your memory of season 2’s events by reading our review here?
