Deadline Hollywood - FYC Prime Video I Go Behind ‘The Boys’

With a lot of humor and some extremely dramatic and action-rich confrontations between Butcher, Homelander, and Soldier Boy, plus a long-overdue reckoning between Hughie and A-Train, the episode had a very different and shocking ending with Starlight.

“A lot of people say like ‘How, [do] you guys have a crystal ball? How can you be so prescience on world events?’ And my answer is always the same, which is, we just write about the stuff that scares us and makes us angry when it’s happening. And then when the show coms out two years later, it’s all the same shit.” Erik Kripke, EP, Showrunner and Writer

“I think the stakes and danger of the show, and the fun of the show,” executive producer Seth Rogen reflects, “is you have never been able to show what these powers would do in a truly unfiltered way.”
