Eight episodes enlist the first of what’s to come with upcoming Amazon Original series, The Boys. Season one will debut on July 26 and in case you’re not yet an Amazon subscriber, the streamer’s latest NSFW trailer is out to help continue to make the case they’ve been making.
Hailing from NY Times Best Selling comic creators Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys is described as “a fun and irreverent take on what happens when superheroes – who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as Gods – abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good.”
The series stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capon and Karen Fukuhara, with Simon Pegg in a guest role. Rounding out the roles of the Supes of The Seven are Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Chace Crawford and Nathan Mitchell, and with Academy Award nominee, actress Elisabeth Shue also starring.
The Boys, launching July 26 on Amazon Prime Video, is a fun and irreverent take on what happens when superheroes – who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as Gods – abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It’s the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about The Seven, and Vought – the multi-billion dollar conglomerate that manages these superheroes and covers up all of their dirty secrets.
