The Boys Mexico, a spin-off from the hit Prime Video series, remains in early development nearly three years after its announcement in November 2023. The project is being led by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, writer of DC's Blue Beetle, with Mexican stars Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal serving as executive producers. Both actors have been in discussions about appearing in the series, though this remains unconfirmed.
Showrunner Eric Kripke revealed that Amazon has received the first draft of the pilot script. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Kripke said: 'They just delivered a draft of the pilot to Amazon. Amazon seemed to really like it and seemed to be making all the right noises. They gave some notes, so we're gonna incorporate those notes.' He added that Dunnet-Alcocer will likely produce another draft.
The spin-off is understood to take place after the conclusion of the main series' finale, which aired recently. Storyline specifics remain closely guarded. The programme would be filmed in Mexico and feature an entirely or predominantly Mexican cast.
Development of The Boys Mexico may hinge on viewing figures for the fifth series and the upcoming prequel Vought Rising. The final season attracted an impressive 57 million viewers per episode, according to The Hollywood Reporter, suggesting strong prospects for the franchise.
