The Boys Presents: Diabolical

***The Boys Presents: Diabolical*** is an American adult animated superhero anthology series that premiered on Amazon Prime Video on March 4, 2022. The series is based on the comic book series *The Boys* by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, and serves as a spin-off of the television series of the same name. The anthology series was released in eight episodes, each using its own animation style.

## Synopsis

From some of the most unhinged and maniacal minds in Hollywood today comes Diabolical, a collection of eight irreverent and emotionally shocking animated short films. Featuring stories by Seth Rogen, Awkwafina, Andy Samberg, Aisha Tyler, Justin Roiland, and more, each episode plunges elbow-deep into unseen crevices of The Boys Universe.

## Development

At the CCXP Worlds 2021 event in Brazil, Karl Urban first announced the existence of the T.V. series. According to executive producer Eric Kripke, the eight episodes for the show were almost done, with the show expected to debut in 2022.

Eric Kripke said that the original idea to create *Diabolical* came about during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the producers wanted to release something during the waiting period before the release of season three of *The Boys*. Due to the restrictions on most live-action productions, they decided to try and make an animated anthology.

## Trivia

* According to Eric Kripke on Twitter, "Nubian vs Nubian", "John and Sun-Hee", and "One Plus One Equals Two", are the only three episodes that are considered canon in the show's continuity.
* The teaser features three variants of Homelander shaking hands with each other, and then end up making out. This seems to poke fun at the film *Spider-Man: No Way Home*, which feature three versions of Spider-Man meeting for the first time. It's also poking fun at the recent trend of superhero films and shows where multiverse variants of heroes meet up, but this time, it’s just so silly and gratuitously erotic.
