With Prime Video’s spinoff animated series The Boys Presents: Diabolical set to hit Amazon on March 4, viewers are learning how impressively extensive the voice cast is with more major additions. And on the writing side, we have Awkwafina, Garth Ennis, Eliot Glazer & Ilana Glazer, Evan Goldberg & Seth Rogen, Simon Racioppa, Justin Roiland & Ben Bayouth, Andy Samberg, and Aisha Tyler. But that’s not all, because we also have the official trailer as well as a look at the eight, 12-14 minute chapters & their diverse animation styles (from homages to the original The Boys comics to those inspired by anime, Korean horror & drama, and Roiland’s unique aesthetic).
