The Supes are getting schooled.

Amazon Studios annonced it has greenlit a spinoff of its massive hit The Boys, produced by Sony Pictures Television. Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters have come on board to serve as showrunners and executive producers on the yet untitled series. Fazekas and Butters have executive produced Law and Order: SVU, along with genre shows like Emergence, Agent Carter and Reaper.

Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, Shane Paul McGhie, Aimee Carrero, Reina Hardesty, and Maddie Phillips have been cast to portray young superheroes on the show set at America’s only college exclusively for young-adult superheroes (naturally, it’s run by Vought International). 

Amazon issued a statement that gave a little bit more information about the plot.

“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

Eric Kripke, who is EP and showrunner for The Boys, also released a statement.

“Much like Mork & Mindy spun-off from Happy Days—which is an insane and true fact—our spinoff will exist in the Vought Cinematic Universe, yet have a tone and style all its own. It’s our take on a college show, with an ensemble of fascinating, complicated, and sometimes deadly Young Supes,” said The Boys’ executive producer and showrunner Kripke. “Michele and Tara are stone-cold geniuses, we’re thrilled to have them steer this ship, and grateful to Sony and Amazon for the opportunity. We love this show and can’t wait for you to see it. Also, Baywatch Nights spun-off from Baywatch, and it had vampires. Vampires!”

The Boys, which received an Outstanding Drama Series Emmy nomination this year, recently wrapped production on Season 3 with new cast member Jensen Ackles.  Its premiere date on Amazon Prime has not been announced yet.
