Patrick Schwarzenegger says The Boys college spin-off is 'like Euphoria meets superheroes'

When he showed his dad Arnold some photos from the set, the Terminator star replied, "What the f--- are you filming?"

Patrick Schwarzenegger can't say much about his role in The Boys spin-off, but he does offer a comparison that feels spot-on for an R-rated show about a college for young supes.
"This set is really fun, and there's just a loosey-goosey comedy," the actor and son of Arnold Schwarzenegger said on Variety's Just for Variety podcast. "It's kind of like Euphoria meets superheroes, I guess."
Schwarzenegger added that he auditioned for the role of Homelander, the Superman-esque leader of supe team the Seven, in the mothership series The Boys. That part ultimately went to Antony Starr, but the producers remembered him when it came time to cast the forthcoming spin-off, and Schwarzenegger had better luck the next time around.


Patrick Schwarzenegger has described the upcoming spin-off of 'The Boys' as 'Euphoria' but with superheroes.

Schwarzenegger, who recently starred in The Staircase, flew up to Toronto for the new series the day after his HBO drama premiered in New York.
"I honestly didn't know anything," he said. "I can say that because it's true. It's not like I chose not to read something. They are so secretive about what the heck happens in this show."
He did assume one thing that turned out to be true: "It's The Boys! I know it's gonna be something f---ing crazy."
Schwarzenegger's dad also happens to be filming a project in Toronto. When Patrick met up with him and showed Arnold some photos from the set, the Terminator star replied, "What the f--- are you filming?"

The title of the spin-off is still under wraps, but we know it follows a group of teen supes who attend the only college for supes in the country. There, they compete against each other come graduation time for the top contracts to police the biggest cities. Chilling Adventures of Sabrina actress Jaz Sinclair plays a supe named Marie, whom we got a glimpse of in The Boys season 3, which is currently streaming new episodes weekly on Amazon Prime Video.
Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, and Shelley Conn will also star in the series.
Executive producer Eric Kripke described the spin-off as "one of the most realistic college shows that's ever been made," also noting that it's a bit like The Hunger Games.

I fucking swear every show that has been on at least three seasons has one of these goddamn dancing or singing scene if not something that takes over the whole show. I've seen it on Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy, Fringe.

WHY?

I'm not necessarily mad at it, but I want to know why

Because almost ALL of these people since childhood grew up in theatre and watching musicals

and many are so damn multi talented

they play instruments sing dance etc

Why not do it?

Why limit yourself?

Use EVERYRHING

I have seen silent episodes, Black & white, one camera etc etc

Its also just to show they CAN.

I think the OG of this was - probably like most modern TV - based on the Buffy episode Once More With Feeling (one of he greatest ever)

I'm up writing a paper so I have the TV on as background noise, and what do I see/hear?


I don't necessarily have a problem with musicals, they just seem out of place and "filler". Can you imagine The Walking Dead with a musical number? It would look like Thriller :roflmao:

Just finished Ep 5. Things are heating up.

Anybody else felt how hypocritically flawed Starlight's reasoning for being bothered by Hughie and the Boys teaming up with Soldier Boy. When she said, "You are teaming up with a murderer", I was like, didn't Homelander just kill a friend of yours. She has remained with the Seven even after finding out they kill innocent people, drug babies, and she was "mouth raped" (her own words) by one if the team members. But teaming up with a Supe that can take down the biggest threat to them all, is drawing the line?

A-Train needs to go. And I mean in the worst way. I don't even care if he is one the bad team. Dude is the type of weasel that nobody can respect, good or bad.

Poor Kimiko. She just can't catch a break. P.S. The singing and dancing wasn't that bad.

Mother's Milk keeps getting backstabbed by Butcher again and again. I can see the final showdown between them two coming. And speaking of MM. His daughter's stepdad...maaan listen. He better watch out for him.

You REALLY think that ain't coming?

after you finish your paper bro...

Thank me later.
