Jennifer Esposito (Blue Bloods, Mistresses) has joined the cast of Amazon's The Boys per Deadline. The upcoming superhero series will see Esposito be featured in five episodes as CIA Agent Susan Raynor.
The eight-episode Prime Original Series will be co-produced by Sony Pictures Television Studios and created and written by showrunner Eric Kripke (Supernatural), and directed by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen (Preacher). The series will be executive produced by Kripke, Goldberg, Rogen, Original Film's Neal H. Moritz (Prison Break), Ori Marmur (Preacher) and Pavun Shetty (New Girl), as well as Point Grey Pictures' James Weaver (Preacher). Garth Ennis (Preacher) and Darick Robertson, who created the comic book on which the series is based, are also slated to co-executive produce.
In a world where superheroes embrace the darker side of their massive celebrity and fame, The Boys centers on a group of vigilantes known informally as "the boys," who set out to take down corrupt superheroes with no more than blue collar grit and a willingness to fight dirty.
She joins previously announced cast members Tomer Kapon, Elisabeth Shue, Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Laz Alonso, Erin Moriarty, Karen Fukuhara, Antony Starr, Chace Crawford, Dominique McElligott, Jessie Usher and Nathan Mitchell.
