There’s a new trailer out for Amazon Prime’s series adaptation of The Boys and it is as wonderfully insane and over the top as you’d hope it to be. If you aren’t familiar with the series from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, it tells the tale of a team of super-powered individuals who work to keep superheroes who abuse their power in check.
The TV series is being executive produced and written by Supernatural’s Eric Kripke. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg will also be serving as executive producers on the new show. Dan Trachtenberg is directing the pilot.
The show’s cast includes: Karl Urban, Karen Fukuhara, Laz Alonso, Tomer Kapon, Anthony Starr, Dominique McElligott, Jesse T. Usher, Chance Crawford, Simon Pegg and Jack Quaid.
The series premieres on Amazon Prime July 26th.
Series premiere July 26, 2019. THE BOYS is an 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 their formidable Vought backing.
In a world where superheroes embrace the darker side of their massive celebrity and fame, THE BOYS centers on a group of vigilantes known informally as “The Boys,” who set out to take down corrupt superheroes with no more than their blue-collar grit and a willingness to fight dirty.
