Amazon has already renewed “The Boys” for a second season ahead of the show’s series premiere next week, Variety reports out of Comic-Con.
The streamer also announced that Aya Cash will join the show in the second season.
The very excellent first season of “The Boys” will debut on July 26, and our review for it will be live here on Bloody Disgusting this coming Saturday. It is based on the New York Times best-selling comic of the same name by Garth Ennis (“Preacher”) and Darick Robertson.
In the show, superheroes are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as Gods. But they also abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. Enter the titular Boys, who set out to expose these heroes — and the multi-billion dollar conglomerate that backs them — for who they really are.
The first season stars Jack Quaid, Elisabeth Shue, Karl Urban, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capon, Karen Fukuhara, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Chace Crawford and Nathan Mitchell. Simon Pegg guest stars.
It hails from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the duo who also saved “Preacher” and delivered us four seasons of chaos on AMC.
