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 and Goldberg directed the pilot, written by Eric Kripke, which will premiere this year. Today brings the latest teaser, found below.
Rogen tweeted today, “Based on one of my favorite comics of all time, I’m proud to have helped bring #TheBoys to life. Here’s a taste of our new show.”
“The Boys” is set in a world where superheroes embrace the darker side of their massive celebrity and fame. The boys are a group of vigilantes 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.
