The yet-to-be-named spinoff ofThe Boyswill follow young adult heroes at the only collegiate institution for budding supers — and they’re officially rounding out their new class.According to Deadline,Shane Paul McGhie,Aimee CarreroandMaddie Philippswill join previously announced cast membersJaz SinclaireandLiz Broadwayas fellow super students.
The Boysspinoff – shooting off from a gory and grotesque, sinful and salacious source — will be “part college show, part Hunger Games,” as Amazon described it. At this one-of-a-kind university, owned and operated by a corrupt Vought International, super-powered students will learn to control their powers whilecompeting for the best savior gigsin the city. If the series is anything likeThe Boys, viewers can expect these students to be hyper hedonistic, and morally bankrupt. F-bombs should comprise half the dialogue as explosions leave brains splattered across the screen. Carrerotook to Twitterto celebrate her casting, writing “pinch me” in response to the good news.

Carrero has starred inYoung & Hungry,Elena of AvalorandThe Holidate. As for Phillips, she played one-half of a bounty-hunting duo in the much-too-short-lived Netflix series Teenage Bounty Hunters.

MoritzandPavun Shettywill also executive produce. Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television have partnered once more, in association with Point Grey Pictures, Kripke Enterprises, and Original Film.
