the creator of the series makes this distressing statement

Since 2019, The Boys is one of the most successful series on Prime Video. This adaptation of the comics of the same name offers a bloody and alarmist look at our societyof which she paints a vitriolic portrait… Unfortunately, for its creator Eric Kripke, this caricature of the United States is about to become a reality following the election of Donald Trump, whom he has often mocked in the past.

The Boysprophetic series?

After 5 seasons full of crimebetrayals, butcheries and orgies, The Boys will sign his bow. Indeed, the next episodes will also be the last in this series on gory perversions and America’s dangerous contradictions. Its creator Eric Kripke, however, has not finished with this universe, of which Amazon plans several spin-offs. In his Gen Vthe first season of which was released in 2023, there will soon be the prequel on Voughtworn by two cult figures. A lucrative expansion for the streaming platform, about which the showrunner nevertheless has some reservations, as he reveals during an interview with Collider.

We’re going to look at the assets we have on the table right now. I live in the absolute terror of seeing the satire we have produced for five years come to pass in real life. The thing with The Boysit’s punk rock, and It hurts a lot when punk rockers sell out. I really try not to sell. We do these projects because they really matter to us, they excite us, and they can tell new stories that we can’t tell in The Boys. We are not satisfied with rapid expansion, we are very careful and attentive to the choices we make in order to be able to defend them and explain why we do them. I worry about this every day. I just want people to say that maybe it’s for them, or maybe not, but to recognize that we maintain a constant level of quality.

If we express certain doubts about the punk rock dimension of The Boysa big-budget production broadcast on an international streaming platform, the showrunner’s concern about the series’ “predictions” on society are much more legitimate. And you, what do you think?
