Fans of The Boys will love this one!
First announced last year, The Boys spinoff YA series is on the way and will be set at America’s only college for young-adult superheroes, which happens to be run by Vought International, and has been described 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. Part college show, part Hunger Games — with all the heart, satire and raunch of The Boys.”
Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, who previously ran Agent Carter, have joined the series as showrunners, taking over from Craig Rosenberg, who departed following creative differences. In a statement, The Boys creator Eric Kripke said:
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!
