Prime Video announced a new animated spinoff series of The Boys, titled Diabolical.

As reported by Variety, the announcement was made in a special video by Billy Butcher's Karl Urban. Along with the title reveal, it was announced that Diabolical will consist of eight episodes and will serve as an animated anthology series set in the same universe as Prime Video's The Boys.

"There is no question that you guys are the greatest fans in the world," Urban said. "As a special way of saying thank you to you, we've got a little surprise for you which is going to drop early next year. While we've been hard at work on Season 3, [producers Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg] have asked a few of their celebrity mates to cook up eight deliciously unique, twisted, animated episodes set in the world of The Boys. You might say, they're diabolical."

The Boys producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg will also serve as writers on the series, with each of the eight episodes telling a unique story. "Ever since we saw the animated film The Animatrix, a series of short animated films set in the universe of The Matrix, we've wanted to rip it off," Rogen and Goldberg said in a joint statement. "Today that dream has come true."

Along with Rogen and Goldberg, Diabolical will also feature the writing talent of Awkwafina, Eliot and Ilana Glazer, Simon Racioppa, Justin Roiland and Ben Bayouth, Andy Samberg, Aisha Tyler and the author of the original The Boys comic series on which the show is based, Garth Ennis.

"Surprise! We're almost finished with eight episodes of our animated series, Diabolical," said The Boys executive producer and showrunner Eric Kripke in a statement. "We gathered together some incredible creators and we gave them one rule… just kidding, there's no rules. They blew the doors off it, delivering eight completely unexpected, funny, shocking, gory, moist, emotional episodes. You think The Boys is nuts? Wait till you see this."

Diabolical will premiere on Prime Video in 2022, though an official release date has not yet been confirmed. Season 3 of The Boys does not yet have a release date either, though it is reported to drop sometime in mid-2022. The first two seasons of the Boys are currently streaming on Prime Video.
