“The Boys”: Amazon Studios Greenlights College-Themed Spinoff to Ultra-Violent Superhero Series

Class is in session for the Supes.

Amazon Studios has ordered a new series spinoff of “The Boys”, the Emmy-nominated subversive superhero drama from Sony Pictures Television that’s set at America’s only college exclusively for young-adult superheroes (run by Vought International).

Amazon promises that the untitled spinoff will be “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.

“It’s part college show, part Hunger Games—with all the heart, satire, and raunch of ‘The Boys’.”

“The Boys” recently wrapped production on Season Three—a premiere date will be announced at a later date.
