One of those adaptation’s that you hear about constantly being in the works, The Boys by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. As far as we know it will be an eight-episode series, and based on details from the publisher the series won’t be out until late 2019.
They’ve announced Suicide Squad‘s Karen Fukuhara has been cast as a regular in the Amazon’s straight-to-series. Fukuhara will play Female, a young Asian assassin with blistering fighting skills who happens to have superpowers and uses them for explosive evisceration. Fukuhara is repped by UTA and Stride Management. Hopefully, they actually let her speak and show her face in this role *shade*
Based on the comic book by Garth Ennis (Preacher) and Darick Robertson and created by Supernatural creator and Timeless co-creator Eric Kripke. The Boys is set in a world where superheroes embrace the darker side of their massive celebrity and fame. It revolves around a group of vigilantes known informally as “the boys,” who set out to take down corrupt superheroes. The long-running comic series consists of 12 volumes and ran from 2007-2012
The project hails from Sony Pictures TV Studios, which will co-produce with Amazon, and Neal H. Moritz’s studio-based Original Films. Preacher‘s Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen are set to direct.
She joins previously cast Erin Moriarty, Antony Starr, Dominique McElligott, Chace Crawford, Jesse T. Usher and Nathan Mitchell.
The Boys will be executive produced by Kripke, who also will serve as showrunner, Goldberg, Rogen, Original Film’s Neal H. Moritz, Ori Marmur (Preacher) and Pavun Shetty, as well as Jason Netter, Ken Levin and Point Grey Pictures’ James Weaver (Preacher). Ennis and Robertson will co-executive produce.’
