The Boys spin-off show adds Reina Hardesty to its cast. Scroll down to know the details!
Announced back in September, the new series will primarily take place at a Vought-backed facility where a new generation of supes learn to harness their powers (and, of course, make more money for the evil corporation at the center of The Boys universe). Craig Rosenberg is writing the spinoff, which also features The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke as an executive producer. Point Grey Pictures’ Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and James Weaver are executive producing as well.
Other cast
The series’ creators previously cast Lizzie Broadway and Jaz Sinclair as other young supes named Emma and Marie. More unnamed characters will be played by Shane Paul McGhie, Aimee Carrero, and Maddie Phillips. Amazon hasn’t announced an official title for the spinoff. However, the logline continues to describe it as “Part college show, part Hunger Games,” and it will feature all of the raunchy humor that fans of the flagship series have come to expect.
Premiere date
Amazon still hasn’t announced a premiere date for The Boys spinoff. But according to Deadline’s report, the show is “nearing a formal greenlight.
What is it about
The Boys became popular for its unique take on superheroes, who are popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods, but abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. Actors like Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Anthony Starr, and Erin Moriarty play essential roles in the show. The Boys season 3 will mark the return of Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Laz Alonsa, and Tomer Capon as they reprise their role of normal humans out to hunt the supes and destroy Vought.
Anthony Starr, Dominique McElligott, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Chace Crawford, Nathan Mitchell also make a comeback in their superhero roles. Giancarlo Esposito, Colby Minifie, and Claudia Doumit are also a part of the third season. Supernatural’s lead Jensen Ackles will debut as Soldier Boy.
