Graphic novel adaptation The Boys has been a big success for Amazon, with Season 2 doing such big numbers that the company has now pushed a spin-off into development.
Here's the basic pitch: set at America’s only college exclusively for young adult superheroes (and run by Vought International), the Untitled Boys Spinoff is described as an irreverent 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. Part college show, part Hunger Games — with all the heart, satire and raunch of The Boys.
Craig Rosenberg, who is an executive producer on the show alongside Eric Kripke, will be overseeing the new series, writing the pilot and shepherding it into existence as Amazon sets it on the fast track.
Season 2 of the main show continues to arrive weekly, with the season finale set for 9 October.
