The Boys knocked it out of the park at San Diego Comic Con, which took place just one week before the series premiere on Friday July 26th. Not only did they come into San Diego Comic Con with a panel, a party, and the best offsite experience around; The Boys was given their Season 2 renewal over comic-con weekend, before Season 1 has even aired! San Diego Comic Con was the perfect place for Amazon Prime Video to promote The Boys and they did a fantastic job getting everyone ready to experience this show. Here are a few highlights of The Boys presence at San Diego Comic Con and a final trailer before Season 1 drops on Friday, July 26th.
The Panel
Taking over Ballroom 20 on Friday of San Diego Comic Con, The Boys treated fans to a hilarious Q&A and welcomed us into their world. Joining the panel were: Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capon, Karen Fukuhara, and Elisabeth Shue – along with executive producers Seth Rogen and Eric Kripke – moderated by Aisha Tyler. The Boys knows how to kick a panel off the right way… with the announcement that Season 2 WILL be happening, and a new cast member has already been added to the team. Not only will The Boys be getting that second season (huge props for that to the cast and crew) but next season Aya Cash will be joining as the role Stormfront! Aisha got the conversation started, with a bit of background about the show, the characters, and the wild ride that we are about to embark on with The Boys. When it comes down to it, something that is really missing from the “superhero genre” is this idea of morality and would superheros really be good people? Think of your worst enemy, now give them super-powers… you really expect that person to use their powers for good? The Boys is finally here to fill that hole within this genre. What would really happen if you gave a mortal person immortality? Would everyone really use those powers for good? The panel left us all with the ultimate decision of would you side with The Boys or The Supes?
It’s very unconventional art, and not one that you’d expect. – Erin Moriarty (Starlight).
the final trailer
Season 1 of The Boys premieres on Friday, July 26th, 2019. Here is one final look at the show before it’s release.
