Yahoo Lifestyle Daveed Diggs Joins ‘The Boys’ For Fifth & Final Season
Prime Video’s The Boys has added Tony and Grammy Award-winning Daveed Diggs (Hamilton, Blindspotting) as a series regular for the show’s fifth and final season. Details regarding his character are under wraps.
Based on The New York Times’ best-selling comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys subverts the superhero genre, imagining a present day where awesome avengers, controlled by the unscrupulous Vought corporation, purport to stand for “truth and justice” while secretly committing heinous acts.
