The Boys
About
The Boys is a satirical superhero series that subverts the genre by depicting superpowered individuals as corporate assets and moral compromises rather than heroes. Led by Karl Urban's Billy Butcher, the story follows vigilantes attempting to expose the corruption of Vought International and its meticulously marketed but deeply corrupt 'Supes'. The property has concluded its acclaimed five-season run on Prime Video and continues to expand through a growing franchise, commanding a demonstrably devoted global audience and thriving merchandise ecosystem.
