‘The Boys’ Spinoff Adds Three to Cast: Shane Paul McGhie, Aimee Carrero and Maddie Phillips

“The Boys” spinoff at Amazon Studios has added three more to the cast: Shane Paul McGhie, Maddie Phillips and Aimee Carrero.

The trio will play young superheroes in the untitled project, which is set to take place at the only college for young adult superheroes, one run by Vought International. The series is described as “an irreverent, R-rated series that explores the lives of hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the best contracts in the best cities. Part college show, part Hunger Games — with all the heart, satire and raunch of The Boys.”

The streaming service also added an after-show called “Prime Rewind: Inside The Boys,” hosted and executive produced by Aisha Tyler. “The Boys” is based on a best-selling comic by Ennis and Robertson.
