The announcement came via The Boys‘ official Twitter account, where they welcomed Morgan to the cast and teased that they are unsure if he’d be getting any tights to wear. Morgan is yet another high-profile star set to join the upcoming season of the series, following the announcement that Susan Heyward would also be joining the show earlier this month.
For Morgan, this will be yet another opportunity to work with writer, producer, and showrunner Eric Kripke. The pair worked together when Morgan starred as John Winchester in The CW series Supernatural. Since then, Morgan has starred in a number of roles, most notably as The Comedian in the 2009 film The Watchmen and as the iconic villain Negan in The Walking Dead series.

The Boys is an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes, who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods, abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It’s the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about the supergroup known as “The Seven.” The show retains most of the comics’ boundary-pushing violence and sexuality while exploring the dark side of superhero celebrity and fame.
The Amazon Studios series stars Jack Quaid, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, and Karl Urban, along with Erin Moriarty, Antony Starr, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Chace Crawford, Nathan Mitchell, Claudia Doumit, and Colby Minifie.
Season three featured the addition of Supernatural’s Jensen Ackles as the infamous Soldier Boy, Katia Winter as Little Nina, Miles Gaston Villaneuva (Law & Order True Crime) as Supersonic, Sean Patrick Flanery (The Boondock Saints) as Gunpowder, Nick Wechsler (Revenge) as Blue Hawk, and Laurie Holden (The Walking Dead) as Crimson Countess.

The series, based on the comic book series created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, is created by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, who are also responsible for AMC’s Preacher, and Supernatural creator Eric Kripke.
Seasons one to three are available for streaming on Prime Video.
