Just when you thought Friday couldn't get any better, Amazon have just announced that
there's gonna be a spin-show set in the Boys Universe.
Throughout this video we're gonna be breaking down everything that you need to know about
it but if you're new to the channel then please smash that subscribe like it's someone's head
that you've just happened to apprehend in a back alley.
Ok so I think it's safe to say that Season 2 of the show has been a pretty big success
and it seems to be one of the only good things to come out of 2020. Though a lot of people
were disappointed with the weekly release schedule, I think it's kept people talking
about the series and it currently stands as one of Amazon's most successful shows ever.
The second entry has in fact more than doubled the season 1 viewership worldwide and overall
it's had an 89% increase in viewership. Clearly Amazon know when they've got a good
thing going and yesterday Deadline exclusively dropped a report that stated there was a second
season in development at the streaming service. This was further backed up by Seth Rogan who
retweeted it, explaining that the Vaught Cinematic Universe was expanding.
Nah wait..who's this on the bottom? Goose Wayne??? Nah nah...give this guy, give
this guy a job. Anyway Deadline actually dropped some info
on what we can expect to see in the show and we will actually follow a group of Teenage
superheroes that attend a college run by Vought International.
This upcoming R-rated series will follow the students as they come to grips with their
hormones and tackle all kinds of things like their sexual, physical and moral boundaries.
The heroes are supposed to be competing for some of the best contracts in the city and
they will be pitted against each other as they try to join some of the superhero teams
that exist in the universe. If you're a fan of the comic then you'll know
there exists a lot of teams such as Payback and Teenage Kix, the latter of which I can
see actually being included in the show. In the comics Kix were one of the lesser superhero
teams that were under contract by Vought. They're sort of the Teen Titans of the world
that were created in order to allow the corporation to market their products to a rebellious teenage
crowd. This would normally make for a pretty fun
team but if you've read the comics you'll know they're some of the most depraved character
in the entire comic. I don't wanna even talk about what one of
em does with a hamster. If you haven't read the books yet then I recommend
that you pick up Volume 1 as this actually centres around Hughie's first mission which
involves spying on the Kix and here we learn about the messed up stuff that they get into.
Now as for the new series, it's been described as part college show, part hunger games, apparently
satarising both. The Pilot is currently being written by Craig
Rosenberg who will also serve as an executive producer and show runner for the series.
On top of this Eric Kripke is also going to be involved, alongside Rogen.
Kripke is the main developer behind the tv show and his name pretty much always appears
at the start of the credits so you know it's in good hands.
I think this show will open the door for a lot of different cameos and appearances and
as we know Starlight was in a similar situation to the students at the college before she
was enrolled in the seven. They have a lot of opportunities here and
I'd actually love it if we got some prequel elements in it because hey...who doesn't wanna
learn more about what Homelander was like as a teenager.
Another thing that they could potentially do with this season is give the backstory
to new characters so we get a fully fleshed out origin story for them before they join
the seven. In the comics there's a lot of team members
that get killed and then replaced and I think this would be a brilliant opportunity to introduce
new characters that could jump across to the main series. I think it's really smart by
Amazon to start building this quote unquote cinematic universe and it'll no doubt add
a lot of opportunities to take the mick out of every company in hollywood trying to build
their own right now. Anyway I'll of course keep you updated on
all the news as we get it but in the mean time drop your comments below on what you
wanna see in the series and if you're enjoying the new run or not.
