Amazon is developing a spinoff TV series based on its hit show The Boys that’s described as “part college show, part Hunger Games.”
Given the massively successful of The Boys Season 2, Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television are fast-tracking a new series.
According to Variety, the spinoff is “is set at America’s only college exclusively for young adult superheroes (or “supes”) that is run by Vought International.”
As the trade puts it:
“It is described as an irreverent, R-rated series that explores the lives of hormonal, competitive supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the best contracts in the best cities. Part college show, part Hunger Games — with all the heart, satire and raunch of ‘The Boys.”
The Boys’ Craig Rosenberg will script the pilot and also serve as the spinoff’s showrunner and executive producer.

The spinoff’s behind-the-scenes personnel will include other veterans of The Boys as executive producers, including series creator Eric Kripke as well as Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, and Pavun Shetty.
The second season finale of The Boys will debut October 9.
