This latest development represents a not entirely surprising move by Amazon to capitalize on one of its biggest successes in original programming to date. Yes, they’ve had more expensive shows like “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” and “Citadel,” but it doesn’t feel like anything has broken through quite in the same way that “The Boys” has with its first three seasons. Case in point, the show has already generated two spin-offs to date, both of which aired earlier this year: the animated “The Boys Presents: Diabolical,” and the college-set “Gen V,” which is returning for a second season. It’s quickly becoming a full-on cinematic universe full of R-rated superheroes.
This latest spin-off is also a reunion for Gabriel Luna and Gael García Bernal. The two first starred together in Alfonso Cuarón’s “Y Tu Mamá También” in 2001. They have since united a couple of times in 2008’s “Rudo y Cursi” and 2012’s “Casa de Mi Padre.” Now, they’re working together behind the camera to help bring the next chapter of “The Boys” to life in Mexico.
“The Boys: Mexico” does not currently have a release date, but look for “The Boys” season 4 on Prime Video in 2024.
