Diego Luna, known for his role in Andor, to oversee a new Boy's spinoff production.
The Boys: Mexico, a new spinoff of the popular Amazon Prime Video series, is set to delve into the world of superheroes from a distinctly Mexican perspective. The upcoming show, which was announced by Deadline, is the latest addition to the expanding The Boys franchise.
The Boys, now going into its fourth season, has been a massive success, and its spinoffs have followed suit. One such spinoff, Gen V, launched earlier this year and focuses on a new generation of superheroes in training.
Now, Prime Video is developing another spinoff, The Boys: Mexico. Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer is the writer for this new series, and a search for a co-showrunner is currently underway. Filming for The Boys: Mexico will take place in Mexico, as the title suggests.
Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal are executive producers for The Boys: Mexico, and they have expressed openness to appearing in limited roles on the show. The plot, timeline, and other specifics of the series have yet to be revealed, but it is expected to be part of the broader narrative universe established by the main series.
The Boys: Mexico will likely explore the impact and presence of Supes in Mexico, distinct but related to the original show's timeline and themes of corrupt superheroes. It will fit within the same universe as The Boys, Gen V, and Vought Rising, expanding the world-building beyond the U.S. context of the original series.
Other spinoffs, like Gen V, focus on different aspects of the franchise's storyline. Gen V, for instance, focuses on younger superheroes in training, directly linked to the original series events. Meanwhile, Vought Rising focuses on the origin of the Vought corporation in the 1950s and stars Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash reprising their characters.
In conclusion, The Boys: Mexico is an upcoming series set within the same universe as The Boys, aiming to explore superhero narratives from a Mexican perspective. Details on plot, timeline, co-showrunners, casting, and filming are yet to be fully revealed, but the series promises to be an exciting addition to the expanding The Boys franchise.
