The series was created by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, who are responsible for another subversive comic book-inspired series, AMC’s Preacher, and Supernatural creator Eric Kripke.
During an interview with TheWrap, The Boys creator and showrunner Eric Kripke revealed that the recently announced spinoff, centering on young adult superheroes in college, is “loosely inspired” by the G-Men, a parody of the X-Men from The Boys comic book series created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.
“Me and Seth [Rogen] and Evan [Goldberg] and Craig Rosenberg, we don’t feel the need to jam spinoffs out there,” Kripke added.
In Season 2, The Boys are on the run from the law, hunted by the Supes, and desperately trying to regroup and fight back against Vought.
