Initially eyed for Cinemax, a take on superhero satire The Boys is nearing a straight-to-series order at Amazon.
It isn’t entirely clear why The Boys development moved from Cinemax to Amazon, but might it provide the high-octane hit Amazon is looking for?
Rogen, Goldberg and Neal Moritz will adapt Ennis and Darick Robertson’s comic, as written by Supernatural creator Eric Kripke, and directed by Rogen and Goldberg.
Variety reports that The Boys has received a script order in that process, with an eye on a possible straight-to-series pickup.
