After the successful run of The Boys spin-off Gen V on Prime Video earlier this year, a new spin-off series called The Boys: Mexico has been announced.
Deadline has revealed that the series comes from Blue Beetle writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer. The outlet notes that Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal will serve as executive producers and are “considering taking on acting roles” in the show, though the roles reportedly wouldn’t be major ones.
Very little information about the plot has been revealed, though the production is searching for a co-showrunner to work alongside Dunnet-Alcocer. The series will also be produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s Point Grey Pictures, Eric Kripke and Kripke Enterprises, Neil H. Moritz’s Original Film, Amazon MGM Studios, and Sony Pictures Television.
What is The Boys about?
“The Boys 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,” reads the main series’ official synopsis. “Intent on stopping the corrupt superheroes, The Boys, a group of vigilantes, continue their heroic quest to expose the truth about The Seven and Vought — the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. It’s the seemingly powerless against the super-powerful.”
