Amazon Prime Video’s “The Boys” is finally giving fans of its Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson-created comic book source material what they have always wanted: Simon Pegg playing Hughie Campbell. The gift to “Boys” fandom was delivered Wednesday via the trailer for “The Boys: Diabolical,” Prime Video’s animated anthology series set in the universe of the live-action show.
In the trailer for the eight-episode “Diabolical,” the different characters and animation styles for each of the the fun-size episodes, running 12-14 minutes, are revealed.

“SpongeBob SquarePants” voice actor Tom Kenny has been giving one of the most recognizable animation performances of the 21st century so far, so it may be surprising that he only has one Emmy to show for it. We think that’ll change this year, though. He’s the front-runner to win Best Performer in an Animated Program for the second time.
Kenny has been playing the title character in the Nickelodeon children’s series since it premiered in 1999. Over the years it alternated between the Primetime Emmys and Daytime Emmys, claiming Best Special Class Animated Program at the 2010 daytime kudos. And in 2012 Rodger Bumpass was nominated for Best Performer in an Animated Program for his role as SpongeBob’s neighbor Squidward. But Kenny himself wasn’t even nominated for his voice performance until 2018. He won that award, and now he’s nominated for just the second time after more than two decades in the role.
