The Boys: Mexico Will Twist the Supes Game in New Ways

If you spend your nights devouring video games where power corrupts and horror where the familiar suddenly feels twisted then listen up. The The Boys universe is about to expand its reach into Mexico with a spin-off that promises to do more than just transplant capes and chaos. The Boys: Mexico is in the works and things are looking sharp. It’s already got the signature poison, intrigue, and moral rot that made the original show addictive. It’s also gearing up to be something new.

Writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer (he of Blue Beetle) is leading the charge on this one. He’ll be scripting the pilot while exec producing big names Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna bring serious creative weight. They are deeply involved behind the scenes and might even show up on screen. The project is slated to film in Mexico which means a fresh cultural landscape to corrupt with supes gone bad.

Showrunner Eric Kripke describes The Boys: Mexico as “our world but a totally different tone.” That means expect the core setting to feel familiar to fans of The Boys. Expect corporate hypocrisy. Expect the supes abusing their powers, the underdog resistance, the over the top violence. But also expect something distinct in mood, voice, character conflict, maybe even horror-tinged elements unique to the setting. It might feel sharper, rawer or eerie in ways we haven’t seen yet.

Right now The Boys: Mexico is in early development. The pilot script is being written and Kripke says “the script is good.” There is no release date. No full season order yet. Plot details remain under wraps. But that also means almost anything could happen. That’s exciting for fans of sci-fi and horror because when things are in that crucible stage the weirdest ideas can feel possible.

What matters is that this spin-off is not just fan service. It might be the chance for the franchise to explore different kinds of fear. Supes are scary enough. But what about fear born from culture, from social tensions, from corruption in a place with its own history and context? Seeing how power misused looks different through a Mexican lens could sharpen The Boys mythos. If done right there could be moments that feel almost horror-adjacent. Scenes where the monstrous feels human, where the sacred (supes) is profaned, where the everyday collapses.

For those of us who love video games that mess with morality, sci-fi that imagines what happens when technology or power runs unchecked, horror that finds dread in familiar places The Boys: Mexico could be a treat. The franchise has already built layers of satire and violence. Now it has the chance to change pace, change nightmare flavor, surprise us with style and voice. So keep your eyes on this one. The pilot is brewing. The world is the same but also new. A showdown is coming.
