Per Prime Video, “Diabolical” reveals unseen stories within “The Boys” universe, brought to life by the likes of Awkwafina, Garth Ennis, Eliot Glazer, and Ilana Glazer, Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, Simon Racioppa, Justin Roiland, and Ben Bayouth, Andy Samberg, and Aisha Tyler. “The Boys,” which ended its second season just over a year ago, is based on the New York Times-bestselling comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson and was developed by executive producer and showrunner Eric Kripke.
“Surprise! We’re almost finished with eight episodes of our animated series, ‘Diabolical.’ 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,” said Diabolical executive producer Eric Kripke. Executive producers and writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg added, “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. Today that dream has come true.” “Eric, Seth, and Evan continue to flip the superhero genre on its head, and ‘Diabolical’ is another fun and disruptive example,” said Jeff Frost, president, Sony Pictures Television Studios. “We are excited for audiences to experience The Boys universe in this new medium.”
