Amazon has a reason to celebrate. In just two weeks since the premiere of The Boys, the first season has exceeded expectations and become one of Amazon’s most-watched series of all time.
“We are thrilled that The Boys has surpassed our predictions for viewing in its first two weeks, and has become one of our most-watched Amazon Original series by our Prime Video customers,” Head of Amazon Studios Jennifer Salke said in a statement. “This creates great momentum and excitement for us as we get ready for season two.”
Like most streaming services, Amazon didn’t release exact numbers but Amazon rarely, if ever, boasts about how well their series’ are doing so I’m thinking that these bragging rights are legit.
The Boys is an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes, who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as gods, abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It’s the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about the supergroup known as “The Seven.”
