The Boys Spin-Off Has Two New Showrunners In Agent Carter’s Michele Fazekas And Tara Butters

Fazekas and Butters already have some superhero experience in their resume. They both served as executive producers and writers on ABC’s “Agent Carter,” which itself was a spin-off of the “Captain America” movies. Of course, where “The Boys” are concerned, heroes like the show’s version of Superman, Homelander (Anthony Starr), aren’t such great heroes.
“Set at America’s only college exclusively for young-adult superheroes (run by Vought International), the untitled ‘The Boys’ spinoff is 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. It’s part college show, part ‘Hunger Games’—with all the heart, satire, and raunch of ‘The Boys.’ Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, Shane Paul McGhie, Aimee Carrero, Reina Hardesty, and Maddie Phillips will portray young superheroes, with additional cast to be announced.”
A Spin-Off in the Tradition of … Mork & Mindy?
When it does come back, the show will continue to target toxic masculinity and racism and it will be adapting the controversial “Herogasm” storyline from “The Boys” comics by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.
