Amazon Prime Video has already given a second-season renewal to its new series The Boys ahead of the drama’s global premiere on July 26.

Billed as a “subversive superhero series,” The Boys hails from exec producers Seth Rogen and Eric Kripke and stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capon, Karen Fukuhara and Elisabeth Shue. The renewal news was announced at San Diego Comic-Con International.

The series is adapted from the best-selling comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. The eight-parter is co-produced by Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television Studios with Point Grey Pictures, Kripke Enterprises and Original Film.
