The Boys Teaser Offers Extra Servings of "Diabolical" for Viewers

This Friday, Prime Video's spinoff animated series The Boys Presents: Diabolical hits Amazon screens with eight tales based within and on both "The Boys" live-action & comic book universes. And with a writing team that includes Awkwafina, Garth Ennis, Eliot Glazer & Ilana Glazer, Evan Goldberg & Seth Rogen, Simon Racioppa, Justin Roiland & Ben Bayouth, Andy Samberg, and Aisha Tyler and eight distinct animation styles, viewers will be able to get their supes "fix" before the franchise series drops its Season 3 trailer. But just in case you need further convincing, the streamer has released a new teaser offering a better sense of what the animated anthology is all about. And yes, that's Simon Pegg voicing an animated version of the comics-original version of Hughie that was based on Pegg and not the series Hughie's (Jack Quaid) dad.
