The Boys (franchise)

The Boys is an American satirical superhero television series developed by Eric Kripke for Amazon Prime Video. Based on the comic book of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, it follows the eponymous team of vigilantes as they combat superpowered individuals who abuse their powers. The series features an ensemble cast that includes Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Chace Crawford, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, and Nathan Mitchell.

Originally intended to be a feature-length film, the comic book series adaptation began its development in 2008 with Adam McKay set to direct the film. Due to creative differences between the crew and the studios that picked up the film, the project was left in development hell. The development for the project was revived in 2016 by Cinemax, which announced that it would be reworked as a television series. Kripke was recruited to be the showrunner of the series, while Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg would be the executive producers. Amazon Studios obtained the rights for the series in November 2017, with production starting in May 2018 in Toronto.

The Boys premiered its first season of eight episodes on July 26, 2019. A second season premiered on September 4, 2020, with the third season following on June 3, 2022. Also in June 2022, the series was renewed for a fourth season, which is scheduled to be released in 2024. As part of a shared universe, a spin-off web series, Seven on 7, premiered in July 2021, an animated anthology series, Diabolical, premiered in March 2022, and a second live-action television series, Gen V, premiered in September 2023. Since its release, the series has received praise for its writing, storyline, humor, effects, and performances of the cast, particularly Urban and Starr's portrayal of Billy Butcher and Homelander, respectively. The series has been nominated for eight Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series in 2021.

Premise

The Boys is set in a universe where superpowered individuals (colloquially known as "Supes") are recognized as heroes by the general public and work for a powerful corporation known as Vought International that markets and monetizes them. Outside their heroic personas, most Supes are corrupt and self-serving. The series primarily focuses on two groups: the Boys, a team of vigilantes looking to bring down Vought and its corrupt superheroes, and the Seven, Vought's premier superhero team overseen by executive Madelyn Stillwell.

The Boys are led by the charismatic but violent Billy Butcher, who despises all supes, and the Seven are led by the egotistical and unstable Homelander. At the start of the series, the Boys are joined by Hughie Campbell, whose girlfriend is killed in a freak accident involving a member of the Seven, while the Seven are joined by Annie "Starlight" January, a young and hopeful heroine forced to face the truth about those she admires. Other members of the Seven include the disillusioned Queen Maeve, drug-addicted A-Train, insecure Deep, mysterious Black Noir, and white supremacist Stormfront. The Boys are rounded out by tactical planner Mother's "M.M." Milk, mute animalistic supe Kimiko, and weapons specialist Frenchie.

Production

Development

Between 2008 and 2016, it was originally planned to make a film adaptation of Garth Ennis comic book series The Boys, having been in various stages of development. Columbia Pictures was initially the studio in charge to bring the adaptation with a budget of $100 million and Adam McKay as the director. However the project was abandoned due to a series of creatives differences between the studio and McKay. However the production of the film was revived by Paramount Pictures, having managed to get the rights of the project in August 2012,[19][20][21] but then in April 2016, it was announced that Cinemax would be developing a television series adaptation of the comic book instead, cancelling the original plans for a film adaptation. While they were working for the series Preacher which is also based on a comic book series written by Ennis, Evan Goldberg, and Seth Rogen were approached and then recruited to work for the series as the executive producers and directors for the pilot episode.[22] During a meeting with Goldberg and Rogen, Eric Kripke who is a longtime fan of Ennis work was hired to be the series showrunner and head writer after he reclaimed the duo for not having him involved in the Preacher series during a meeting with them at Point Grey Pictures.[23]

In November 2017, Amazon acquired the rights to make the television adaptation of the series,[24][25] after it was confirmed that the series would not be moving forward at Cinemax due to buget issues, with Kripke Goldberg and Rogen allowed to find a new distributor for the series.[26][27] Sharon Tal Yguado who was hired that same year to supervise future franchises made by Amazon, expressed her hopes that the television series would take a different take on the superhero genre in a time where Hollywood is saturated with multiple superhero shows, given that the nature comics book series was totally different from other comics.[28] That same day, Amazon made greenlight the production of the first season confirming that it would consist of eight episodes, with each one being produced at an estimated budget of $11.2 million,[29] while also giving the commitment to make the series to run for at least five seasons as Kripke was already developing ideas for this to happen.[30] The production of the series was expected to begin at the spring of 2018 as part of a planned release at the year 2019.[31] At the time, Amazon was failing to get hits with its originals which led them to make several deals with auspices from other successful series hoping to make the next big genre drama hit show like Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead and Stranger Things.[32]

In July 2019, it was announced at the San Diego Comic-Con that the series would be getting a second season just a week before the series premiere,[33][34] with Kripke having already starting to write the scripts just before the series premiere.[35] In December 2019, it was confirmed that the season would be getting released at the year of 2020 through a teaser trailer,[36] while another trailer released at June of that year confirmed that the second season would be premiering that September.[37][38] Seeking to make the series to be a topic of conversation for a longer period of time, Kripke and the producers convinced Amazon to release the episode of the series on a weekly basis in the hopes that the series would replicate the success of other series that also were released in that way such as The Handmaid's Tale and The Mandalorian.[39][40] Just a month later, at July it was announced that the series was being renewed for a third season at the aftershow hosted by Aisha Tyler for the 2020 San Diego Comic-Con@Home,[41][42] to which Kripke revealed in October that he was already writing the scripts during the run of the second season,[43] while Amazon was already announcing their spin-off Gen V (2023)[44][45] that would serve as a bridge between the third season and fourth season,[46][47] with the latter being announced in June 2022,[48][49] with a planned release in 2024.[15]

Writing

The series takes place in a universe where most of the superpowered people better known as "Supes" pretend to be heroic to ensure that they are loved by the public, while working for Vought which is a company that monetizes and markets them, but in reality outside their heroic personas they are actually corrupt celebrities who abuse their powers out of selfishness for personal gain, which serves as a deconstruction of the superhero genre and the idealisms of heroism that they are supposed to represent in contrast to Marvel and DC.[50][51] The series itself is a more realistic portrayal of how superheroes would be actually in the real life with many of them having an influence as political figures, over-worshipped celebrities, and profitable marketing tools for a hyper-consumerist society, while also displaying the negative impacts that multiple of the main characters end up suffering thanks to the superhero culture whose life is ruined by it.[52] Many of the Supes that appear in the series are also a direct parody from very popular superheroes from Marvel and DC intending to give them a more depraved, problematic and realistic counterparts, with each season introducing a new Supe that is based from a popular superheroic character.[53][54]

Despite keeping its faithfulness to the source material, the series does not fully follow the storyline from the comic book series in order to retain a sense of realism, given that Kripke considered that some of the concepts and characters from the comics were too fantastical for their portrayal in the television adaptation and put rules to the writers in order to oversee what ideas would be allowed to use and the other ones that would not.[55][56] Another reason for the changes realized to the adaptation was because of the difference between the period where the comic book and the television adaptation take place with the formers taking place at the 2000s and the later at the late 2010s respectively, to which Kripke and the writers deemed that it would be impossible to adapt to the series as it would not fit into the story of the series.[57]

Kripke originally intended for the series to make it run for five seasons as he developed some ideas that could be explored in the fourth and fifth seasons by starting to conclude some of the storylines of the show for the third-season finale.[58] He considered that the ideas he was developing for the television adaptation were enough to be developed for five seasons with further adaptations of the comic book series being adapted in planed spin-offs that would take place in the same universe of the main series.[59][60] Following the success and renewal for its spin-off series Gen V, which would connect the third and fourth seasons of the series, Kripke revealed that he was reconsidering his original plans and admitted that the main series could run beyond five seasons given its success, while also mocking his similar initial plans he had for another series where he also served as showrunner Supernatural, "I have since realized that literally no one in history is worse at predicting the amount of seasons of a show, like literally. I have learned my lesson and I've stopped predicting how many seasons these shows go. You will find out in hindsight."[61]

Casting

In December 2017, it was announced that Erin Moriarty had been cast in the lead role of Annie January / Starlight.[62] In January 2018, it was reported that Antony Starr, Dominique McElligott, Chace Crawford, Jessie Usher, and Nathan Mitchell had joined the main cast.[63] In March 2018, it was announced that Laz Alonso, Jack Quaid, and Karen Fukuhara had been cast in series regular roles.[64][65][66] In April 2018, it was reported that Karl Urban had been cast in the series' lead role of Billy Butcher.[67] In May 2018, it was announced that Elisabeth Shue had been cast in the series regular role of Madelyn Stillwell.[68] In June 2018, it was reported that Tomer Kapon had joined the main cast in the role of Frenchie.[69] In August 2018, it was announced that Jennifer Esposito had been cast in the recurring role of CIA Agent Susan Raynor.[70] In October 2018, it was announced during the annual New York Comic Con that Simon Pegg had been cast in the role of Hughie's father.[71] According to the artist Robertson, Hughie was drawn in the comics to resemble Pegg after he saw Pegg in the sitcom Spaced, but Pegg thought he was too old to play the role of Hughie in the TV series.[72] In July 2019, alongside the renewal of the second season it was announced that Aya Cash would be joining the series as a gender-swapped version of Stormfront following contract negotiations that began when the second season was announced.[33][73] The reason why Stormfornt was changed was in order to make the character of Homelander to felt even more hurt of having his spotlight stolen.[74] In September 2019, Goran Višnjić and Claudia Doumit were cast in recurring roles for the second season.[75] A month later, Patton Oswalt was announced in an unspecified role,[76] later revealed to be as the Deep's Gills.[77]

In August 2020, it was reported that Shawn Ashmore was cast as Lamplighter for the second season.[78] A week later, Jensen Ackles joined the cast for the third season as Soldier Boy.[12][79] The character of Soldier Boy would be different from the comics as he would be portrayed as the "Homelander before Homelander" probably even worse than him.[80][81] In October 2020, Claudia Doumit and Colby Minifie were promoted to series regulars for the third season.[10] In March 2021, Katia Winter joined the cast in the recurring role of Little Nina for the third season.[82] In June 2021, Miles Gaston Villanueva, Sean Patrick Flanery, and Nick Wechsler were cast as Supersonic, Gunpowder, and Blue Hawk, respectively, for the third season in undisclosed capacities.[83] Two days later, Laurie Holden joined the cast as Crimson Countess in a recurring role for the third season.[84] In October 2021, Frances Turner, Kristin Booth, and Jack Doolan joined the cast as Monique and twins Tessa and Tommy, a.k.a. the TNT Twins, in recurring roles for the third season.[85] In July 2022, it was announced Nathan Mitchell (who portrayed the masked Black Noir in the first three seasons), despite his character's death in the third season, would continue to portray a new replacement Black Noir in a main capacity in fourth season of the series.[8] In August 2022, it was reported that Cameron Crovetti had been promoted as a series regular while Valorie Curry and Susan Heyward were cast as new series regulars for the fourth season.[86] Later that month, Jeffrey Dean Morgan was cast in an undisclosed role.[87] In December 2022, Rosemarie DeWitt, Rob Benedict, and Elliot Knight joined the cast in undisclosed capacities for the fourth season.[88]

Filming

Filming of the series at Pecaut Square in Toronto

Although situated in New York City like in the comics, it was confirmed the series would be filmed in Toronto, Canada.[89] In November 2017, it was announced that the filming for the series was slated to begin filming in 2018 with the hopes of releasing it on 2019. Though the series was mainly shot in Toronto, it was confirmed that additional filming would also be taking place across the Golden Horseshoe area, including Mississauga and Hamilton.[90][91][24]

The filming for the first season started on May 22, 2018, mainly filmed at Toronto with many of the crew filming at several tourist locations, such as the Roy Thomson Hall, the Yonge–Dundas Square, Lower Bay Station, and the Sherbourne Common. In order to make it look like New York City and create the fictional places of the series such as the Seven Tower intending to capture the series universe, several of these locations were digitally altered through CGI including the interiors of several buildings, with several rooms being digitally altered and extended. Another places of interest picked up were the Sherbourne Common, the Cathedral Church of St. James, and the Parkwood Estate.[92][93] Filming for the first season wrapped on October 11, 2018.[94]

The filming for the second season started on July 17, 2019,[95] and followed the similar strategy of being filmed at touristic locations and being edited with CGI. Some of this place of interests include th Meridian Arts Centre, the Wet 'n' Wild Toronto Waterpark, and the Scottish Rite Club. To create the Sage Grove psychiatric hospital, the crew filmed at the Southwest Centre for Forensic Mental Health Care complex.[92][96] Filming was also at the Mel Lastman Square but eventually the crew were relocated by the Toronto City Council as the location was close to the place where the Toronto van attack occurred on April 23, 2018. This happened to avoid hurting the sentiments of the citizens of Toronto.[97][98] Filming for the second season wrapped on November 15, 2019.[99]

The filming for the third season started on February 24, 2021.[100][101] The filming for the season was not affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, though several precautions were implemented to ensure the safety of the cast and crew.[102][103] The new filming locations included for the season were Metro Toronto Convention Centre, the Saint George Manor, and Canada's Wonderland Medieval Faire.[92] Filming for the third season wrapped on September 10, 2021.[104]

The filming for the fourth season started on August 23, 2022.[105] Pegg concluded filming his scenes on January 18, 2023.[106] Filming on the finale began on February 12,[14] with Starr concluding filming his scenes on April 4.[107] Filming for the fourth season wrapped on April 12, 2023.[108]

Music

Score albums have been released for each season of the series by Madison Gate Records. Christopher Lennertz served as composer of the show's score.[109][110] During an interview at the 2019 Comic-Con, he stated that his work for The Boys was the "craziest thing" he has ever done, after collaborating with Seth Rogen for Sausage Party.[111] For the second season's soundtrack, Erin Moriarty provides her own vocals for the song "Never Truly Vanish", which was nominated for an Emmy.[112] The music video for "Never Truly Vanish" was released on YouTube on June 4, 2021.[113] Jessie T. Usher also performed an original song for the second season's soundtrack and on September 1, 2021, the music video for "Faster" was released on YouTube.[114] The third season's soundtrack included two songs performed by Miles Gaston Villanueva, "You've Got a License to Drive (Me Crazy)" and "Rock My Kiss", while Laurie Holden performed "America's Son" which were released on June 3, 2022.[115] On June 17, 2022, another video was released for a song performed by Holden, "Chimps Don't Cry".[116]

Politics

The seasons explore issues like white nationalism, white supremacy, systemic racism, and xenophobia, with Kripke seeing an opportunity to introduce Stormfront, a racist superhero who believes in Nazism.[117][118] Kripke stated that unlike the comics where Stormfront is male, the character would be gender-swapped for the series with the intention of creating "Homelander's worst nightmare that would be a strong woman who wasn't afraid of him and proceeded to steal his spotlight."[119] The show contains political satire, and many consider the show to be a critique of conservatism and far-right politics.[120][121] The show has also made references to corporate corruption, police brutality, sexual harassment, and homophobia.[122][123] Various analogies have been made to current social and political movements such as Black Lives Matter, the MeToo movement, and comparing Homelander to Donald Trump.[124][125] Some of the showrunners have said that these analogies are intentional and made to cast a political message.[126][127]

Release

The Boys was originally planned to have all the eight episodes of the first season released on Amazon Prime Video on July 26, 2019,[128] but it premiered just a few hours earlier despite keeping the former date as the official one.[129] The second season also consisting of eight episodes, was confirmed to that it would be released at a weekly basis instead of release the entire season as a whole the same day, debuting the first three episodes on September 4, 2020, and the rest debuting on a weekly basis until the season finale on October 9.[130] On January 6, 2022, it was reported that the third season would premiere on June 3, 2022, with the first 3 episodes available immediately and the rest debuting on a weekly basis until the season finale on July 8.[131]

A companion short film titled Butcher, set between the first and second season, was released on September 10, 2020, with Karl Urban reprising his role as Billy Butcher.[132][133] Characters from The Boys also appeared in an episode of Death Battle! sponsored by Amazon Prime Video, which was released on September 17, 2020.[134][135]

Home media

The first two seasons were released on Blu-ray in a six-disc box set by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment on May 17, 2022. The Butcher short film was included as well as deleted scenes and blooper reels.[136] Season 3 was released on October 24, 2023.[137]

Franchise

Spin-offs

The Boys Presents: Diabolical

On December 5, 2021, at the Brazil Comic-Con, Prime Video announced that The Boys Presents: Diabolical, an animated anthology series, had been given an eight-episode series order.[175] On January 18, 2022, it was announced that the series would premiere on March 4, 2022.[176]

Gen V

On September 24, 2020, it was announced that a spin-off centered on a superhero college had been fast-tracked into development upon the ratings success of the series' second season. Described as being "part college show, part Hunger Games", the spin-off is to be set "... at America's only college exclusively for young adult superheroes (and run by Vought International)" and 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".[177] On October 2, 2020, Kripke stated the series would focus on the G-Men team that had been mentioned in the first season, a parody of the X-Men.[178] On September 27, 2021, the untitled spin-off was given a series order by Amazon Studios.[179] Filming of the series, titled Gen V, beginning at the University of Toronto in May 2022 and the Claireville Conservation Area, Brampton in July, intended for an October wrap.[180][181] The series premiered on September 29, 2023.[182]

The Boys: Mexico

On November 28, 2023, a new spinoff series was announced as in the works at Amazon. The Boys: Mexico is created by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, who produces alongside Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal.[183]

Other media

Vought News Network

Ahead of the premiere of the third season, the series had released video segments in the form of in-universe news reports from the Vought News Network channel on YouTube, titled Seven on 7 with Cameron Coleman. Each of the seven segments contains seven stories that tease events in upcoming episodes and introduce new cast members, and acts as a bridge between Season 2 and 3. Matthew Edison, who plays news anchor Cameron Coleman, also appears in the third season of the series.[184]

Supe Porn

On October 3, 2020, Eric Kripke said that the in-universe pornographic superhero film scenes briefly glimpsed in the second season The Boys episode "Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker" had been produced in full, expressing interest in releasing them under the name Supe Porn to the website of the same name, registered to Sony Pictures,[185] as well as supposedly requesting Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Antony Starr and the other followers of his Twitter page to join him in petitioning Prime Video and Amazon Studios to allow the potential web series to be uploaded.[186] Later on, a fictional sex toy online store was added to the website, with a collection of products such as The StarMight Plug and Translucent's Glass Dildo. At the bottom of the website there is a message saying that its contents are for entertainment purpose only and not actually for sale.[187]

Call of Duty

In July 2023, Activision announced a collaboration between the Call of Duty video game franchise and The Boys, which features the addition of Starlight, Homelander and Black Noir as playable characters in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. Warzone 2.0 also features map updates that include adverts of the Seven, as well as a "Temp V" field upgrade that allows players to use one of four superpowers, based on other characters in the series.[188] A trailer for the collaboration was released on the Vought International YouTube channel, which depicts it as taking place in-universe prior to the end of the third season.[189]

In November 2023, a second collaboration was announced for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, with A-Train and Firecracker joining the playable roster as part of the game's first seasonal content update.[190]

Mortal Kombat

Homelander was announced to appear as a playable character in the upcoming video game Mortal Kombat 1, modeled after Antony Starr. He will appear via the "Kombat Pack" DLC.[191]
