The Boys Presents: Diabolicalwill feature eight 12-14 minute episodes. Each episode will have its own unique style of animation and is produced by a different creator. One episode is even produced byRick And Mortycreator Justin Roiland, who will also lend his voice talents to the spinoff series.

Severalactors fromThe Boyswill also be reprising their roles inDiabolical. These returning stars include Antony Starr, Chase Crawford, Simon Pegg, Elizabeth Shue, and Giancarlo Esposito. Also featured in the cast are the voice talents of Jason Isaacs, Don Cheadle, Aisha Tyler, Kumail Nanjiani, Kieran Culkin, Kenan Thompson, Kevin Smith, Ben Schwartz, Michael Cera, and Academy Award-winner Youn Yuh-jung.
Ever since it premiered on Amazon Prime Video,The Boyshas been an immensely popular addition to the superhero genre. In the oversaturated landscape of superhero movies and TV shows,The Boysoffered a new cynical take on the concept of superhuman vigilantes. With its twisted humor and scathing satire of corporate America,The Boysmanaged to both deconstruct the genreand entertain fans.
Last year Prime Video also premieredInvincible, the animated adaptation of the Robert Kirkman comic series. Similar to its live-action predecessor,Invincibleoffered a darker lookat the role of superheroes in our society. WhileDiabolicallooks to be having more fun with the genre than bothThe BoysandInvincible, it’s certainly following in their footsteps, offering an alternative, very R-rated approach to the once wholesome genre.
The Boys Presents: Diabolicalpremieres exclusively on Prime Video on March 4th, 2022.
