Even though The Boys is a relatively new property in the TV space, its huge success has already given Amazon the confidence to push ahead with a spinoff.

After the record-breaking launch of the show's second season in September 2020 (it was the biggest-ever global release of an Amazon original series), this spinoff was quickly fast-tracked. It's going to be set in "superhero college", exploring the lives of these young adults as they deal with all the regular problems that college students face - just with an added super-powered twist.

It will also be extremely R-rated - as you'd expect with a show set in this universe.

The spinoff has already roped in several actors to flesh out its cast, and while it hasn't been given that final go-ahead quite yet, Deadline recently noted that it's "nearing a formal green light."

Considering the phenomenal success of The Boys - as well as the progress that's been made on this spinoff - it's almost a guarantee that the green light will be given.
