The Boys are back in town with an animated anthology spinoff that looks to be as rude as its live-action counterpart. Prime Video revealed members of the Diabolical voice cast in a promo on Wednesday that will have you thinking twice about ordering from your local fast food joint.
The Vought-A-Burger-themed teaser introduces some of the characters featured in the anthology series. Among the voice cast revealed are Awkwafina, Michael Cera, Don Cheadle, Chace Crawford, Kieran Culkin, Giancarlo Esposito, Eliot Glazer, Jason Isaacs, Kumail Nanjiani, Justin Roiland, Seth Rogen, Andy Samberg, Ben Schwartz, Elisabeth Shue, Christian Slater, Kevin Smith, Antony Starr, Nasim Pedrad, Simon Pegg, Kenan Thompson, Aisha Tyler, and Oscar-winner Youn Yuh Jung. Additional names will be revealed at a later date.
The fun-size episodes, running 12-14 minutes and each with its own animation style, will reveal unseen stories within The Boys universe, dreamt up by some of the most creative and bloody brilliant minds in entertainment today, including Awkwafina, Garth Ennis, Eliot Glazer, and Ilana Glazer, Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, Simon Racioppa, Justin Roiland, and Ben Bayouth, Andy Samberg, and Aisha Tyler.
I’m sorry, is that an infant sh*t monster attached to that roll of toilet paper? Where is a health and safety inspector when you truly need them? Remember, not all heroes wear capes. Are you as blown away by the Diabolical voice cast as I am? There are some heavy-hitters attached to this project, and the tone of this teaser is giving me Adult Swim vibes. I suppose that makes sense when you look at the creative talent attached, but still, it’s nice to know this anthology is in great hands.
