The gruesome yet lovable Amazon Prime show, The Boys, may get more spinoff shows in the future. The superhero-parody show already has a yet-untitled spinoff scheduled to release next year, which will follow college supes.
In an interview with Deadline, Vernon Sanders, the head of global television at Amazon Studios, shared that there are new ideas for expanding the universe, but they’re taking it slow.
Sanders added that the response of the audience for Season 3—the goriest, most vicious, and violent of the lot—has been incredible.
There’s ideas beyond the shows that we have. We want to pace ourselves. The launch of the show this season (Season 3) so far has really blown us away, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you heard about more but for the time being, we are focused on this next show (the yet-untitled college supe project) and making sure that it lives up to everything it needs to be, and so far, we are on track.

Chances for more spinoffs are high and almost a given if we consider the executives’ words.
It might be some time before official news regarding it arrives, but the brainstorming has certainly begun. It will be exciting to see how the show and its superheroes/villains will bring in refreshing stories.
The success of The Boys and the excitement for the two spinoffs proves that the audience wants more. Currently, the show has one adult-animated series titled The Boys Presents: Diabolical and the upcoming untitled series that revolves around teenager Supes.
With almost every platform looking to leverage franchises, The Boys has enough content (and fandom) that can turn it into a multimedia franchise profitably.
Moreover, Sanders also revealed that “there is absolutely the possibility” for a Diabolical sequel. Amazon has also renewed The Boys for Season 4.
With potential spinoffs, sequels, and a renewed season, there’s no stopping The Boys universe.
About The Boys
The Boys is an American satirical superhero streaming television series developed by Eric Kripke for Prime Video. Based on the comic book of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, which was originally published by DC Comics under their Wildstorm imprint before moving to Dynamite Entertainment, it follows the eponymous team of vigilantes as they combat superpowered individuals who abuse their abilities.
The show is a satirical take on the superhero genre and showcases a world where superheroes are corporatized and controlled by companies. What happens when these superheroes step out of line and rub some boys the wrong way, is the story.
