Amazon’s ‘the Boys’ Spin-Off Details, Cast, and Plot Information

• A spin-off series based on Amazon’s hit show “The Boys” is in the works.
• The untitled series will focus on high-achieving young people at a Vought college.
• The cast includes “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” star Jaz Sinclair.

Following the success of Amazon’s “The Boys,” a spin-off series is in the works centered on a younger generation of supes.

Development of the untitled show was announced in late-September 2020, weeks after season two of “The Boys” debuted on the streaming service and became the most-watched global launch of an Amazon Original series ever. In September 2021, it was given a series order.

This is what we know so far about the college-centric series.

The series will focus on a Vought-run college

The spin-off, helmed by “Agent Carter” showrunners Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, will explore “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,'” Variety reported.

“The Boys” showrunner Eric Kripke told Entertainment Weekly that the idea for the spin-off came about organically in January 2020, especially after noticing that there aren’t college shows with this premise.

“It’s a Vought-owned college where young kids with powers are trained as to how to be proper superheroes, all leading to an NBA-style draft at the end of the year,” Kripke told The Hollywood Reporter. It’s kind of like college sports shows meets Fame, because they have to take acting and marketing classes. It will be a college show that is character-driven and hopefully very realistic.

The cast will include rising actors, like ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’ star Jaz Sinclair

Sinclair, who portrayed Roz on “CAOS,” was one of the first cast members announced along with “The Rookie” actress Lizze Broadway. Sinclair and Broadway will play the roles of the supes Marie and Emma.

In March 2021, three more were cast as supes: “Greenleaf” actor Shane Paul McGhie, “Teenage Bounty Hunters” star Maddie Phillips, and “Holidate” actress Aimee Carrero.

Reina Hardesty, who appeared on The CW’s “The Flash” and “Legends of Tomorrow” will also play a supe on the show.
