Eric Kripke has offered an update on The Boys: Mexico spin-off series.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, The Boys series creator Kripke said that it still might be “a while” before The Boys: Mexico truly gets off the ground.
“They are still making the deal with the writer for the pilot,” he explained. “He has an amazing pitch, and we all giggle and think about how fun it would be. But there are a lot of hurdles for that show before it’s a real show. He’s got to write an amazing pilot, he’s probably got to write an amazing episode 2. I think he can and he will, but we’re a while away from truly starting to drop in the Easter eggs and the setups and stuff.”
What do we know about The Boys: Mexico?
In November 2023, Deadline reported that Amazon MGM Studios was developing a new spin-off series to The Boys, tentatively titled The Boys: Mexico.
Blue Beetle writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer was tapped as the creator, writer, and executive producer, while Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal are also attached as executive producers. At the time, Luna and Bernal were said to both be considering taking on acting roles in the series as well, though there have been few updates about the project since then.
Plot details for The Boys: Mexico remain under wraps at this time.
The fourth season of The Boys, meanwhile, premieres on Amazon Prime Video on June 13, 2024. A second season of Gen V is also in the works.
Regarding the handful of spin-off series that are now in the works, Kripke said, “I really don’t want people to feel they have to watch one [show] to understand the other. I never want it to feel like homework or mandatory viewing. I think that’s hurt Marvel in a certain amount of ways, and I don’t want to do that. I want you to watch both shows. It certainly expands your enjoyment and experience of both shows because you understand some of the backstory of where things came from, but by no means do you have to.”
