The Boys: Eric Kripke Updates S03 Post-Production & Trailer Timeline

While fans of Amazon and showrunner/EP Eric Kripke's The Boys will be getting their "supes fix" with the release of the animated anthology The Boys Presents: Diabolical next month (more on that in a minute), it's still a long road ahead until the franchise returns on June 3rd. But thanks to an excellently-coordinated meta campaign that's been keeping fans connected, the wait has been tolerable. Another reason why the wait's been easier to take? Because Kripke does a great job of being open & honest with the fans when it comes to what's going on with productions. We got a perfect example of that earlier today, with Kripke checking in ("buzzed," in his own words) to let us know that 4 out of the 8 episodes have been mixed, a "couple hundred VFX shots" still to finish "but they're awesome." But the best news from his tweet? The first trailer was officially locked today and "will be out in a few weeks."

Now here's a look at Kripke's post from earlier offering another wave of good news:

With Prime Video's spinoff animated series The Boys Presents: Diabolical set to hit Amazon on March 4, viewers learned how impressively extensive the voice cast is with more major additions announced earlier this week. On the writing side, we have Awkwafina, Garth Ennis, Eliot Glazer & Ilana Glazer, Evan Goldberg & Seth Rogen, Simon Racioppa, Justin Roiland & Ben Bayouth, Andy Samberg, and Aisha Tyler. We were also treated to the official trailer as well as a look at the eight, 12-14 minute chapters & their diverse animation styles (from homages to the original The Boys comics to those inspired by anime, Korean horror & drama, and Roiland's unique aesthetic). And before you ask? Yes, that's Simon Pegg voicing an animated version of the comics original version of Hughie was based on Pegg and not the series Hughie's (Jack Quaid) dad.

Along with Pegg, the full voice cast is a jaw-dropper that includes Awkwafina, Michael Cera, Don Cheadle, Chace Crawford, Kieran Culkin, Giancarlo Esposito, Eliot Glazer, Jason Isaacs, Kumail Nanjiani, Justin Roiland, Seth Rogen, Andy Samberg, Ben Schwartz, Elisabeth Shue, Christian Slater, Kevin Smith, Antony Starr, Nasim Pedrad, Kenan Thompson, Aisha Tyler, Youn Yuh Jung, Kimberly Brooks, Nicole Byer, Frances Conroy, Asjha Cooper, Chris Diamantopolous, John DiMaggio, Jermaine Fowler, Emily Gordon, Grey Griffin, Randall Duk Kim, David Marciano, Xolo Maridueña, Dominique McElligott, Caleb McLaughlin, Colby Minifie, Eugene Mirman, Retta, Kevin Michael Richardson, Somali Rose, Parker Simmons, Ursula Taherian, Fred Tatasciore, Sean Patrick Thomas, Angela Marie Volpe, Gary Antony Williams, and Jenny Yokobori.
