There is no denying the popularity The Boys has attained over its run thus far. With that popularity comes news that the series will be receiving a spin-off. Variety has confirmed that Amazon Prime Video has announced an eight-episode pickup of Diabolical, an animated anthology series set in the same universe as The Boys.
The production was confirmed through a video message featuring actor Karl Urban, who portrays Billy Butcher in “The Boys,” released during one of Amazon Prime Video’s Comic-Con Experience 2021 virtual panels.
“There is no question that you guys are the greatest fans in the world,” Urban stated in the announcement. “As a special way of saying thank you to you, we’ve got a little surprise for you which is going to drop early next year… [Producers Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg] have asked a few of their celebrity mates to cook up eight deliciously unique, twisted, animated episodes set in the world of ‘The Boys.’”
“Surprise! We’re almost finished with eight episodes of our animated series, ‘Diabolical,’”
“We gathered together some incredible creators and we gave them one rule… just kidding, there’s no rules. They blew the doors off it, delivering eight completely unexpected, funny, shocking, gory, moist, emotional episodes. You think ‘The Boys’ is nuts? Wait till you see this.”
