The face that launched a thousand marketing deals. Starlight sells you the face wash of legends. Watch The Boys on Amazon Prime this July.
The Boys is the 2019 TV adaptation of the comic series created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.
The show is an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes, who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as Gods, abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. Hughie's (Jack Quaid) ordinary life is upended when A-Train (Jessie Usher), the speedster superhero, kills Hughie's girlfriend in an accidental collision. Not placated by the payout from the super team "The Seven" and their corporate masters a Vought Industries, Hughie falls under the spell of Billy Butcher (Karl Urban). Like him Butcher is bitter about the way supers trample over regular people. Unlike Hughie, Butcher has the training and resources to actually do something about it. Hughie joins Butcher's squad, informally known as "the Boys," and begins a campaign to take down The Seven.
The cast also includes Elisabeth Shue, Erin Moriarty, Antony Starr, Dominique McElligott, Chace Crawford, Nathan Mitchell, Laz Alonso, Karen Fukuhara and Tomer Kapon.
The Boys was developed for television by Eric Kripke, Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen. The series streams on Amazon.
