The world of The Boys is growing with an eight-episode animated series. Amazon greenlit the anthology series Diabolical, borrowing Billy Butcher’s catchphrase for the title. It will drop on Amazon Prime Video in 2022.

“We gathered together some incredible creators and we gave them one rule… just kidding, there’s no rules,” The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke said. “They blew the doors off it, delivering eight completely unexpected, funny, shocking, gory, moist, emotional episodes. You think The Boys is nuts? Wait till you see this.”

The Boys star Karl Urban announced the new animated show during a panel at CCXP Worlds 2021. Episodes will feature stories by comic co-creator Garth Ennis, TV series executive producers Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, and Prime Rewind: Inside the Boys after show host Aisha Tyler. Other stories come from an eclectic mix of talents, including Awkwafina, Eliot and Ilana Glazer, Simon Racioppa, Justin Roiland and Ben Bayouth, and Andy Samberg.

This is the third series set in The Boys universe, following the currently untitled college-set spinoff that was greenlit in September 2021.
