Amazon may have huge fantasy shows in The Wheel of Time and Lord of the Rings, but in terms of popularity nothing beats The Boys right now. How do I know? Because not only is the show entering its third season, but a live-action college spinoff is coming up, and now star Karl Urban has announced a “diabolic” new animated series, too.
Titled Diabolical, the new anthology-style animated show will feature a ton of top-tier talent working on episodes, including producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. They’ll be joined by Awkwafina, Garth Ennis, Eliot Glazer, and Ilana Glazer, Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, Simon Racioppa, Justin Roiland, and Ben Bayouth, Andy Samberg, and Aisha Tyler.
Oh yeah, and Garth Ennis, creation of The Boys comic book, is involved, too. And you know his twisted mind has come up with some crazy shit.
So what’s this series about? The Boys takes place in a world where superheroes basically run roughshod over the planet, indulging in their every whim because who’s gonna stop them? That’s where The Boys come in, and they’ve set their sights on The Seven, a corporate-owned superteam that also happens to be the most powerful and most popular.
According to Urban, we should look for Diabolical to arrive next year.
