The Butcher himself, Karl Urban, announces a new animated spinoff with The Boys: Diabolical, a new eight-episode animated anthology series set in the universe of The Boys coming to Amazon Prime.

Urban announced the news during Brazil’s CCXP in the video below.

“There is no question that you guys are the greatest fans in the world. And as a special way of saying thank you, we’ve got a little surprise for you which is going to drop early next year,” said Urban. “While we’ve been hard at work on Season 3, Eric, Seth, and Evan asked a few of their celebrity mates to cook up eight deliciously unique, twisted, animated episodes set in the world of The Boys. You might say they’re diabolical.”

Details include that the stories will be coming from 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.

“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,” executive producer/showrunner of The Boys Eric Kripke said in a statement.

Diabolical is the second spinoff in the works as a college superhero spinoff is in development which takes place in America’s only college exclusively for young adult superheroes run by Vought International.
