I must admit I was very sad a few years ago when Fox cancelled
Karl Urban's sf series
Almost Human, but it seems he is finally getting back to the small screens! He will lead the cast of Amazon's superhero series
THE BOYS from
Supernatural creator
Eric Kripke, based on the comic book by
Garth Ennis and
Darick Robertson!
THE BOYS is set in a world where superheroes embrace the darker side of their massive celebrity and fame. The story follows a group of vigilantes known informally as THE BOYS who set out to take down corrupt superheroes with no more than blue collar grit and a willingness to fight dirty.
