New faces and new heroes

The series will take us to the halls of Godolkin University, a prestigious institution designed exclusively for superheroes in training. Here, the brightest talents hone their skills, not only to save the world, but to ensure they continue a legacy of glory and power. Meanwhile, behind some doors closed to students, lurks the true face of the institution, ready to go to any lengths to preserve the status quo.

With the arrival of these young prodigies on our screens, we can expect a story with new nuances and implications in the universe, but equally facing explosive and bloody challenges. As they compete to stand out at their school, strange happenings within them will soon change everything at stake. When an enigmatic threat looms over them, these young survivors are faced with the choice of whether to emerge as the heroes they have been told they must become or succumb to their inner darkness.

And it is that The Boys has been widely praised for presenting an innovative plot in the world of superheroes, delving into their corrupt psyche and putting them on the side of vigilantes determined to bring them to justice. This adaptation of the Garth Ennis comics for Wildstorm —and later for Dynamite— has even been described by critics as superior to the original material, opting for a much better meta-criticism of the genre.

With a resounding success since its debut in 2019, the series has become a current benchmark in pop culture, which its fans can’t wait to see more of.

As the plot unfolds, viewers will begin to see the threads that connect both stories, ushering in a new generation of superheroes and their ties to The Boys universe. As such, Prime Video promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats as they explore the complex dynamics of power and morality in this electrifying addition to their mythology.
