Amazon's The Boys spinoff has nabbed a new set of showrunners.
According to THR, Agent Carter showrunners Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters will helm the untitled college-set spinoff of The Boys. They are taking over showrunner duties from Craig Rosenberg, who exited following creative differences. Along with news of Fazekas and Butters joining the show, it was revealed Amazon has given an official series order to the spinoff.
Former showrunner, Rosenberg, reportedly had creative differences with Amazon and producers Sony Pictures TV, although specifics as to what those differences are have not been revealed. Fazekas and Butters have worked together for a long time, on such projects as Emergence and Reaper long before they tackled Agent Carter for Marvel.
"Much like Mork & Mindy spun-off from Happy Days -- which is an insane and true fact - - our spinoff will exist in the Vought Cinematic Universe, yet have a tone and style all its own. It’s our take on a college show, with an ensemble of fascinating, complicated and sometimes deadly Young Supes," said The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke. "Michele and Tara are stone-cold geniuses, we’re thrilled to have them steer this ship, and grateful to Sony and Amazon for the opportunity. We love this show and can’t wait for you to see it. Also, Baywatch Nights spun-off from Baywatch, and it had vampires. Vampires!"
The Boys' college spinoff was first announced this time last year, and was described 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."
Casting on the project has been well underway, with an impressive young cast that includes Reina Hardesty (The Flash), Shane Paul McGhie, Aimee Carrero (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power) and Maddie Phillips. Additional castings for the series are expected to be announced later.
Amazon has reportedly already picked up The Boys for Season 4, with pre-production on the series reportedly set to begin in March 2022
The untitled Boys spinoff does not have a release date.
