The Boys: Mexico spin-off, a potential standalone series, is facing delays, according to showrunner Eric Kripke. The delay is due to the need to lay a solid foundation for the new series, which Kripke emphasizes is crucial. The show is set to feature Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna as executive producers, with Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, screenwriter for DC’s Blue Beetle, on board to write the pilot episode.
One of the major challenges the team is facing is making sure the spin-off can stand on its own without relying on the original series. Kripke wants to avoid making viewers feel like they need to watch both shows to understand the spin-off. Rather, he wants The Boys: Mexico to be able to be enjoyed independently.
