The animated spinoff of The Boys, The Boys Presents: Diabolical, releases on March 4, 2022, and these are all of the voice actors confirmed so far. After the success of The Boys, several spinoff projects for the series were announced to further develop the world of the show. Diabolical is the first of the spinoffs to be released, and it’s a unique departure from what the main series does.
The Boys Presents: Diabolical is an animated anthology series based on the original Amazon Prime series. The series will consist of eight episodes, each one in a different animation style that delves into aspects of the world that The Boys have yet to fully develop. Many of the staff of the original show are involved with Diabolical, and Garth Ennis, who wrote the original comic Amazon Prime's The Boys is based on, is also involved with writing and producing the series.
This is nearly every actor voicing a character in The Boys Presents: Diabolical. Most of the characters in the series, whether they’re a supe or a regular person, are new characters voiced by people joining the franchise for the first time. However, a few characters in the show have their original actors from The Boys reprising their roles for animation. This list is meant to cover the voice actors listed in the final trailer, so those who weren’t listed won't be mentioned.
