Plot Synopsis

THE BOYS PRESENTS: DIABOLICAL is a quarter-hour animated series that reveals unseen stories within THE BOYS universe, with each installment having its own animation style. On Friday, March 4, 2022, Amazon Prime Video released the entire eight-episode first season:

"Laser Baby's Day Out": Laser eyes plus a cute baby equals an evisceration machine that will melt your heart. Before burning it out of your chest. With her laser eyes. Writers: Evan Goldberg & Seth Rogen. Directors: Crystal Chesney-Thompson and Derek Thompson. Animation Style: Inspired by classic American animated shorts.

"An Animated Short Where Pissed-Off Supes Kill Their Parents": The title says it all and kinda gives away the ending. Let's just say it's cathartic and messy. Writers: Justin Roiland & Ben Bayouth. Director: Parker Simmons. Animation Style: Inspired by Justin Roiland's aesthetic.

"I'm Your Pusher": Ripped from the pages of the original THE BOYS comics -- Billy Butcher, with Terror in tow, terrorizes a narcotics supplier into spiking a certain supe's fix. Writer: Garth Ennis. Director: Giancarlo Volpe. Animation Style: An homage to the original The Boys comics.

"Boyd in 3D": Social media is a dysmorphic lens that warps how we view ourselves and others and numbs us to what's truly important in life. This is about that. Writer: Eliot Glazer. Story by: Eliot Glazer & Ilana Glazer. Director: Naz Ghodrati-Azadi. Animation Style: Inspired by French comics and animation.

"BFFs": Inject Compound V and get superpowers. Drink compound V and uh... this happens. Writer: Awkwafina. Director: Madeleine Flores. Animation Style: Inspired by Saturday morning animation imports.

"Nubian vs Nubian": Divorce is complicated. Divorce with a kid, even more so. Superheroes getting divorced with a kid who's determined for that NOT to happen? There will be blood... Writer: Aisha Tyler. Director: Matthew Bordenave. Animation Style: Anime inspired.

"John and Sun-Hee": Put on your crying face for this one as an elderly man risks everything to cure his wife's inoperable cancer. Writer: Andy Samberg. Director: Steve Ahn. Animation Style: Inspired by Korean drama and horror.

"One Plus One Equals Two": Even a great American hero like Homelander had to start somewhere... Writer: Simon Racioppa. Directors: Jae Kim and Giancarlo Volpe. Animation Style: A darker take on American superhero animation.
