Amazon's 'The Boys' creator on season 2's immense popularity, the fate of Stormfront, and what the deal with Fresca is

Amazon Prime Video's "The Boys" is a massive hit.

"Five weeks later, we're still at the forefront of pop culture, which was always the goal," showrunner Eric Kripke told Business Insider during a recent interview. "I do think it turned out to be a good thing in terms of how much longer people are talking about the show." What we've noticed is that a lot of people have been finding season one as so many other people talk about season two. They see so many comments on social media about how crazy the show is which makes others want to catch up. We see a lot of people say they slept on the show for so long but they're watching it now and loving it.

But those three things really represent what I love: real heart and emotion, satire and dark comedy, and filthiness. I'm allowed to put all of those things in "The Boys" in a way I wasn't allowed to with "Supernatural." I actually don't work any less on "The Boys" than I did on "Supernatural." It's not like it's a vacation. I spend all that extra time on the scripts and making sure the emotions are right versus "Supernatural," which was, lovingly, endless triage. Always racing to write things and throwing it out the door to shoot it. If people knew how chaotic it was to make that show they would be horrified.
