You'll probably sit down to watch The Boys Presents: Diabolical online because this looks like the next best thing to The Boys season 3. Yes, while we wait for the real-deal live action version of the Supes and their incredibly NSFW adventures, Seth Rogen's bringing his show to the second dimension, with some help from other famous folks.

The Boys Presents: Diabolical start time, channel

Release date: The Boys Presents: Diabolical comes out on Friday (March 4)
Time: 12 a.m. ET
Where: Prime Video

The below trailer teases that this series won't just be b-sides of the Vought Cinematic Universe, as Homelander shows up pretty early. We're guessing those images are from the episode entitled "Laser Baby's Day Out," which comes from Rogen and his writing partner Evan Goldberg. According to Prime Video, this episode is inspired by "classic American animated shorts," so expect it to satirize traditional wholesome cartoons.

There's also going to be some "Rick and Morty" flavor in this "The Boys" project, with an episode from Justin Roiland and Ben Bayouth entitled "An Animated Short Where Pissed-Off Supes Kill Their Parents." Prime Video's press release notes that this is "inspired by Justin Roiland's aesthetic."

The Boys creator Garth Ennis is penning an episode as well, as are Ilana Glazer, Awkwafina, Aisha Tyler and Andy Samberg. Full details can be found below.
