Amazon Prime Video's upcoming, college-set spinoff of its popular superhero satire series The Boys has added three new members to its growing cast.
Per Deadline, actors Shane Paul McGhie (Deputy, Greenleaf), Aimee Carrero (Elena of Avalor, Young & Hungry) and Maddie Phillips (Teenage Bounty Hunters) have all boarded Amazon's untitled Boys spinoff as young superheroes, though no further details regarding their characters are available at this time. McGhie, Carrero and Phillips join Southland's Lizze Broadway and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina's Jaz Sinclair, who were previously cast as young heroes.
Based on the comic book series of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys premiered on Prime Video in 2019, with Season 2 arriving last year and Season 3 currently in production. The show follows the titular group of vigilantes, who push back against corporate-controlled superheroes who abuse their power and status.
Amazon's upcoming, untitled spinoff is 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."
Amazon Studios' The Boys stars Karl Urban as Billy Butcher, Jack Quaid as Hughie, Laz Alonso as Mother's Milk, Tomer Kapon as Frenchie, Karen Fukuhara as Kimiko, Erin Moriarty as Annie January, Chace Crawford as the Deep, Antony Starr as Homelander and Aya Cash as Stormfront. Seasons 3 has yet to receive a premiere date.
