This information comes directly from Amazon. It gives us some more information about the plot and casting news. Unfortunately, no names have been given.
The Untitled The Boys Spinoff, America's only college for young-adult superheroes, is a satirical, R-rated series about the lives of competitive, hormonal Supes. They compete for the best contracts and the best cities. Part college show, part Hunger Games, it has all the heart, humor, and raunch that The Boys love. Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway and Reina Hardesty will play young superheroes. Additional cast members are to be announced.
Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas are showrunners (yes these names are different than when the show first launched; no explanation was given) and they are also executive producers along with Eric Kripke, The Boys' showrunner. He gave a very descriptive quote to provide more information about the series and also dropped some surprising but important references. Similar to Mork & Mindy, which is an absurd and true fact, our spinoff will exist within the Vought Cinematic Universe but have a tone & style all its own. Kripke explained that it is our version of a college show with a group of complex, fascinating, and sometimes deadly Young Supes. Tara and Michele are both brilliant and we were delighted to have them as the captains of this ship. We also thank Amazon and Sony for their support. This show is a favorite of ours and we can't wait to see it. Baywatch Nights was also spun off from Baywatch and featured vampires. Vampires!
Amazon included a note in their press release stating that The Boys' third season had wrapped. However, a premiere date has not been announced.
