Complete Guide to The Boys
The Boys is based on the comic series of the same name by Irish comic writer Garth Ennis, and has been adapted for the screen by TV writer and showrunner Eric Kripke. Before The Boys, Kripke was most well known as the showrunner of Supernatural. While the shows’ differences range in subject, Supernatural revolves around monsters, religion, and other inter-dimensional beings, and The Boys explores the human flaws of superheroes. Supernatural has two leads, while The Boys revolves around two separate teams of lead and secondary characters.
The Boys revolves a group of ex-military, spies, hitwomen, and average Joes and their efforts to expose the nefarious doings of the Seven, the world’s most powerful and popular super-team, who are mostly jaded spotlight-addicted sadists with capes behind closed doors. However, the audience’s surrogate into this world turned upside down is Hughie Campbell, played by Jack Quaid. Yes, son of that Dennis Quaid. Hughie’s quest to avenge the death of his girlfriend, who was accidentally murdered by the Flash-like A-Train, leads him to meet the show’s other protagonist, Billy Butcher, played by Karl Urban.
The Boys Spinoff Series in Superhero College
The streaming platform announced today it’s developing The Boys spinoff of its popular superhero series, only unlike the current show, the new one will be set at America’s sole college for young adult superheroes. Of course, it’s run by none other than Vought International, the company behind the superhero group The Seven.
Based on the bestselling comic by Ennis and Robertson, The Boys is a fun and 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 Seven, and Vought – the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages these superheroes and covers up all of their dirty secrets.
