Amazon dropped an uncensored “Spank” teaser trailer for their upcoming show The Boys starring Karl Urban and based off Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s comic book series.
Take a look.
Here’s the official description for the series:
“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.”
The show stars Karl Urban as Billy Butcher, Tomer Capon as Frenchie, Jack Quaid as Hughie Campbell, Erin Moriary as Starlight, Laz Alonso as Mother’s Milk, Nathan Mitchell as Black Noir, Elisabeth Shue and Jennifer Esposito.
