VILE BODIES

THE BOYS IS SERVING UP EVEN MORE delicious, raunchy, hyper-violent, gory fun – but in animated form. The Boys Presents: Diabolical, an anthology spin-off, consists of eight episodes running at 12 to 14 minutes each. And, as you might expect, Diabolical’s writers crapped all over the Hollywood rulebook when telling their stories.

“Some of the stuff we were discussing back and forth, in the early development, I was like, ‘Really? We can do that? Okay,‘” showrunner Simon Racioppa tells . “[ creator] Eric Kripke was just into it. All he wanted was for it to be true to character and true to the world. If we did those two things, he was pretty good with everything else.”
