"PRIME TIME REWIND: INSIDE THE BOYS" - "THE BOYS" AFTER SHOW ANNOUNCED
Jimmy Leszczynski
Whew. I haven’t been this amped since I took that dose of “Compound V”. As you might have heard by now, Amazon Studios announced that it has has called on Vought Industries to produce another 8 episodes of the hit series The Boys. The announcement was made yesterday, ahead of its highly anticipated second season debut on September 4, during The Boys Comic-Con@Home Panel. (See our post here) But the really big news for The Boys fanatics- Emmy Award-winning host Aisha Tyler (Archer, Criminal Minds) will taking on hosting duties, as well as executive producing, the official The Boys after show Prime Rewind: Inside The Boys. These days an after show that dissects the events that have just unfolded, has become the benchmark for a solid fan base, and Aisha will chat with members of the cast, creative team and other special guests.
Showrunner and executive producer Eric Kripke:
“Amazon, in a bold and historic push to expand their ‘weirdo’ demographic, has greenlit Season 3 of The Boys! The writers and I are hard at work in the (virtual) writer’s room and we’re sad to say, the world has given us way too much material. We hope to be shooting in early 2021, but that’s up to a microscopic virus,”
He continues…
“As if that wasn’t enough, we’re bringing you a Season 2 after show, Prime Rewind: Inside The Boys. Double entendre intended. Hosted by the incomparable Aisha Tyler and guest starring the cast and crew, it’s a deep dive into how we make this insane thing. Seriously, thanks to Sony, Amazon and the fans. We love making this show so much, and we’re thrilled we get to make more.”
Aisha Tyler on the new after show:
“The Boys is one of the smartest, most irreverent, unapologetically badass shows streaming. I became a fan during Season 1 and this season I’m stoked to be flying fans into the heart of the show as host of Prime Rewind: Inside The Boys. Season 2 is bigger, badder, and more audacious than ever before, so join me after every episode as we dig through the rubble pile of our feelings. I promise, we’ll get through it like The Boys — dysfunctional, but together."
What are you waiting for? push that play button and see whats in store for The Boys in season 2
Dig this first look at Stormfront (Aya Cash). Clearly not the Aryan loving Nazi born superhero from the comics. I, for one, cannot wait to see what diabolical shenanigans showrunner and executive producer Eric Kripke have in store Butcher and his gang of hard luck Supes haters.
The even more intense, more insane Season 2 finds The Boys on the run from the law, hunted by the Supes, and desperately trying to regroup and fight back against Vought. In hiding, Hughie (Jack Quaid), Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso), Frenchie (Tomer Capon) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) try to adjust to a new normal, with Butcher (Karl Urban) nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Starlight (Erin Moriarty) must navigate her place in The Seven as Homelander (Antony Starr) sets his sights on taking complete control. His power is threatened with the addition of Stormfront (Aya Cash), a social media-savvy new Supe, who has an agenda of her own. On top of that, the Supervillain threat takes center stage and makes waves as Vought seeks to capitalize on the nation’s paranoia.
The Supes of The Seven also include Queen Maeve (Dominique McElligott), A-Train (Jessie T. Usher), The Deep (Chace Crawford) and Black Noir (Nathan Mitchell).
Prime Rewind: Inside The Boys, executive produced by Michael Davies, Aisha Tyler, Julia Cassidy, Eden Sutley and Jennifer Ryan, will debut on August 28 with a look back at season one and continues on September 4 to dive into each episode of Season 2 as it rolls out through the October 9 season finale. Amazon Studios, Embassy Row and Sony Pictures Television produce the companion series.
