The Boys supervillain Homelander is just as maniacally insecure in short-form animation as he is in live-action.
In 2021, after two seasons of critical acclaim and a season two Emmy nomination for outstanding drama series, Amazon Prime Video expanded the world of The Boys, its no-holds-barred satire of superhero storytelling and modern-day America. And in March 2022, the second addition to the Boys shared universe, The Boys Presents: Diabolical, premiered with eight animated shorts, each utilizing anthology storytelling and a unique animation style.
The Boys and Diabolical executive producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg originally approached comedy triumvirate The Lonely Island (Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, Akiva Schaffer) to write an episode, but Samberg himself had a rather unexpected idea. “I have a long-running rule of when Seth and Evan call me, I just say, ‘What is it?’ And the answer is almost always yes,” Samberg...

When Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg asked Simon Racioppa if he was interested in creating a spinoff of The Boys, he jumped at the chance. The timeline was tight, less than a year to create eight episodes, but Racioppa was up for the challenge.
The Boys Presents: Diabolical is an Amazon Prime animated anthology series taking place in the universe of The Boys.The episode up for Emmy consideration “John and Sun-Hee” is written by Andy Samberg and directed by Steve Ahn. On a more serious note than some of the others, this episode follows John (Randall Duk Kim), a janitor at Vought, who steals a vial of Compound V in the hopes of saving his dying wife Sun-Hee (Youn Yuh-jung).
Each episode has a different writer, director, and style of animation to fit with the story, which Racioppa says didn’t seem like the smart choice at the time.

Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg and Looney Tunes; Andy Samberg and Korean drama; Aisha Tyler and romantic anime.
These are pairings that may not immediately seem obvious, but in the new animated anthology series “The Boys Presents: Diabolical,” they’re a delightful reality.
Rogen and Goldberg, Samberg, Tyler, Awkwafina, Justin Roiland, Garth Ennis and others wrote the episodes that make up this new show, all eight of which are now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, but “Diabolical” is far more than just an extension of the “The Boys” franchise – it’s a showcase for the unique creative voices of those involved. And for extremely graphic and gory cartoons.
Each of the eight episodes stands alone and has its own writer, director, animation studio and even score. They’re all distinct, so while binge-watching “Diabolical” you get a “Looney Tunes” riff followed by an episode straight out of “Rick and Morty” (aptly...

Amazon Prime Video’s “The Boys” is finally giving fans of its Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson-created comic book source material what they have always wanted: Simon Pegg playing Hughie Campbell. The gift to “Boys” fandom was delivered Wednesday via the trailer for “The Boys: Diabolical,” Prime Video’s animated anthology series set in the universe of the live-action show.
In the trailer for the eight-episode “Diabolical,” the different characters and animation styles for each of the the fun-size episodes, running 12-14 minutes, are revealed. One of those episodes includes Pegg (who plays the father of Jack Quaid’s Hughie on “The Boys”) voicing the original version of Hughie from Ennis and Robertson’s “The Boys” comics. This moment has been a long time coming for fans who have been dream-casting Pegg as Hughie for years and didn’t get what they wanted, mostly because the TV adaptation wasn...
