Prime Video has assembled an all-star cast for The Boys: Diabolical, an animated spinoff of the popular superhero satire series The Boys. The announcement comes in the form of a new video teaser, showcasing more of the animated series that’s no less violent than the live-action show it’s based on. The end of the clip features the name of everyone in the voice cast, and there’s no shortage of big names. You can watch the teaser below.
As revealed at the end of the trailer, the cast includes Jason Isaacs, Aisha Tyler, Don Cheadle, Kumail Nanjiani, Awkwafina, Kieran Culkin, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Christian Slater, Justin Roiland, Andy Samberg, Kenan Thompson, Ilana and Eliot Glazer, Kevin Smith, Ben Schwartz, Michael Cera, Youn Yuh Jung, and Nasim Pedrad.
It also appears that the show will include some crossover characters from the live-action version of The Boys. In the trailer, we can see superheroes like Homelander and The Deep among several other characters that will presumably be featured in Diabolical. Homelander actor Antony Starr and The Deep actor Chace Crawford are also listed in the voice cast for Diabolical alongside The Boys co-stars Giancarlo Esposito (Stan Edgar), Elisabeth Shue (Madelyn Stillwell), and Simon Pegg (Hugh Campbell Sr.).
The Boys: Diabolical Will Arrive Before The Boys Season 3

The animated spinoff will premiere on Prime Video at the start of March, as the wait for the live-action show’s third season will be a bit longer. It was recently announced that the third season of The Boys will be premiering in June, giving the long-awaited return a summer release. While that is a while longer than many fans were hoping for, the good news is the animated spinoff will hold them over in the meantime.
There is also a separate live-action spinoff series that’s in development at Prime Video as well. This show spoofs the X-Men by following a group of young heroes in training at a school for rookie superheroes. That series doesn’t yet have a release date attached and it’s unclear when it’s expected to arrive.
“It’s a Vought-owned college where young kids with powers are trained as to how to be proper superheroes, all leading to an NBA-style draft at the end of the year,” showrunner Eric Kripke previously said of the spinoff, per THR. “It’s sort of like a college sports show meets Fame, because they also have to go to acting classes and marketing classes. It’s going to be a very character-driven, hopefully incredibly realistic, college show.”
The Boys: Diabolical will premiere on Prime Video on March 4, 2022. The Boys will follow with a premiere date of June 3, 2022.
