What if Cassie and Rue possessed superhuman abilities? According to star Patrick Schwarzenegger, the "The Boys" spin-off answers that question.
The new Prime Video college series "The Boys" has been compared to HBO's " Euphoria" with a superhero element, according to the "Staircase" actor. According to an official series description, "hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the best contracts in the best cities," the R-rated dark comedy will be set at "America's only college exclusively for young adult superheroes (and run by Vought International)," and will explore "hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the best contracts in the best cities."
On Variety's Just for Variety podcast, Schwarzenegger remarked, "This set is really enjoyable, and there's just a loosey-goosey comedy." "I suppose it's like 'Euphoria' meets superheroes."

Schwarzenegger also revealed that he auditioned for the role of Homelander, which went to Anthony Starr in the end. The creators of "The Boys" remembered him for a spin-off, but Schwarzenegger won't provide any information.
"I honestly had no idea," the actor admitted. "That's something I can say because it's true. It's not like I made a conscious decision not to read something. They're very tight-lipped about what goes on on this show."
However, "It's The Boys, The Boys, The Boys, The Boys, The Boys, The I'm sure it'll be something f**king insane, "Schwarzenegger made a joke.
"What the f**k are you filming?" his father Arnold Schwarzenegger exclaimed when he saw the first set images.
Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, and Shelley Conn feature alongside Schwarzenegger in the untitled series. The spin-off, according to executive producer Eric Kripke, would be "one of the most realistic college shows that has ever been done," with "Hunger Games" overtones.
The animated spin-off anthology series "The Boys: Diabolical," which aired on Prime Video on March 4, was inspired by the "The Boys" universe. According to a series description, the spinoff included "fun-size episodes," with each episode lasting between 12 and 14 minutes. Among the "Diabolical" writers and episodes included in the genesis tale of The 7 commander Homelander were Awkwafina, Ilana Glazer, Andy Samberg, Aisha Tyler, Evan Goldberg, Seth Rogen, and original "The Boys" creator Garth Ennis.

"Season 3 of "The Boys" received a B rating from IndieWire critic Ben Travers, who wrote, "'The Boys' is a black comedy, an action extravaganza, and a vicious editorial all rolled under the same cape. Doing any one of these things half as well as what's seen in Season 3 would be a challenge, and doing them all while maintaining its own distinct identity makes 'The Boys' that much more impressive."
