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 Seven,” and their formidable Vought backing.  TV-MA | 60 min

Equally comfortable on the small screen, on stage, and at festivals, Chris Lennertz has written eclectic scores for Marvel’s Agent Carter and the smash dark superhero epic The Boys with Amazon Pictures. He has recently expanded further into musical storytelling in his collaborations with Tony award winners Alan Menken, Glenn Slater, and David Zippel as well as artists like Kelly Clarkson, Janelle Monae, Lizzo, Nick Jonas, Blake Shelton, Bebe Rexha, and more. His films have grossed well over a billion dollars worldwide. Chris is also one of the most in-demand composers in video games with hits like Medal of Honor, James Bond, The Godfather, and the Mass Effect series. His passion for education and philanthropy plays a major part in his life serving on the board of Education Through Music Los Angeles and The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation as well as Hands Together in Haiti. He personally launched the Symphony of Hope project after the 2011 earthquake to rally the film music community around the cause. Ultimately mixing his love of storytelling, his eclectic background, and his relentless passion for all styles of music, Chris has become one of the most valued and sought after composers in Hollywood today.

Eric Kripke is the creator, executive producer and showrunner of the Amazon Prime Video hit series The
Boys. The Boys is based on the infamous, New York
Times best-selling comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. Kripke also served as co-creator, executive producer and co-showrunner of the NBC time travel adventure series Timeless, along with Shawn Ryan.  Previously, he served as creator, executive producer and showrunner of NBC’s hit drama Revolution (produced by JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot, with the pilot directed by Lion King director Jon Favreau) and the long-running CW series Supernatural, now in its fifteenth season, which makes it the longest-running genre show in American history.  Prior to that, Kripke wrote and executive produced the WB series Tarzan. In 2016, Kripke made his comic book debut, teaming with veteran artists John Higgins and Glenn Fabry to create the original series Jacked for Vertigo Comics.
