Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the duo behind AMC’s “Preacher,” are bringing another comic series to the small screen with “The Boys,” based on the comics by Garth Ennis (“Preacher”) and Darick Robertson. Rogen shared the first poster art for the upcoming Amazon Prime series today, which should look mighty familiar to fans of the comic series.
“I’m thrilled to have been a part of bringing another one of my favorite comics to life. I think you will dig The Boys,” Rogen tweeted this afternoon.
Rogen and Goldberg will be directing the pilot, written by Eric Kripke.
“The Boys is set in a world where superheroes embrace the darker side of their massive celebrity and fame. It revolves around a group of vigilantes known informally as “the boys,” who set out to take down corrupt superheroes with no more than blue-collar grit and a willingness to fight dirty.”
Elisabeth Shue, Karl Urban, Jennifer Esposito, Jack Quaid, Colby Minifie, Jess Salgueiro, Brittany Allen and Bruce Novakowski are among the stars of the Amazon series.
The series comes from “Supernatural” creator and “Timeless” co-creator Eric Kripke, Goldberg and Rogen, and Sony Pictures TV.
Look for “The Boys” on Amazon Prime in 2019.
