The Boys spin-off show gets disappointing update as creator reveals there are “lots of hurdles” to make it a reality

The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke has given a slightly disappointing update on upcoming spin-off Mexico – though it’s not all bad. 

“They are still making the deal with the writer for the pilot,” Kripke told Entertainment Weekly. “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 set-ups and stuff.”
