A few days after hearing the first round of casting for Amazon’s upcoming spin-off of the superhero series The Boys, additional casting has been announced with Shane Paul McGhie (Deputy), Aimee Carrero (Elena of Avalor) and Maddie Phillips (Teenage Bounty Hunters) joining the spin-off.
The three will star as young superheroes who attend a college exclusively for young super-powered people. The untitled spin-off is described as “as 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. Part college show, part Hunger Games — with all the heart, satire and raunch of The Boys.”
The trio will star alongside Jaz Sinclair and Lizzie Broadway, who will also portray young superheroes at the college.
Craig Rosenberg, writer for The Boys, will serve as the showrunner for this spin-off. The showrunner for the award-winning superhero series Eric Kripke also serves as an executive producer alongside Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, and comic book creators Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.
