Executive producer Eric Kripke (
Supernatural) revealed last night that Patton Oswalt (
A.P. Bio) has joined the cast of Amazon Prime Video's hit superhero drama,
The Boys, in a top secret role.
While we await further details, Oswalt is the latest addition to the season two cast, joining fellow newcomers Aya Cash (
You're the Worst) as Stormfront, Goran Višnjić (
Timeless) as Alistair Adana and Claudia Doumit (
Timeless) as Victoria Neuman. Giancarlo Esposito (
Breaking Bad) and Malcolm Barrett (
Timeless) have also been confirmed to reprise their roles as Mr. Edgar and Seth Reed, respectively.
Billy Butcher's (Karl Urban) dog Terror is also expected to have a more prominent role to play next year.
The fan-favorite series is a live-action adaptation of the Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson comic of the same name, and was adapted for Amazon by executive producers Seth Rogen (
Long Shot;
Preacher) and Eric Kripke (
Supernatural;
Timeless).
THE BOYS 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. It's the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about "The Seven," and their formidable Vought backing.
