This fall is about to get a little super: Season 2 of Amazon Prime Video’s gritty superhero satire Boys will be released On Friday September 4 with three episodes, it was announced during a virtual meeting panel hosted by upcoming guest star Patton Oswalt. Then a new installment will premiere every Friday until the end of the season on October 9.
The new season “finds The Boys on the run from the law, hunted by the Supes and desperately trying to regroup and fight Vought,” according to the official synopsis. By hiding, Hughie (Jack Quaid), Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso), Frenchie (Tomer Capon) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) try to adapt to a new normal, without finding Butcher (Karl Urban) anywhere. “
On the so-called superhero front, “Starlight (Erin Moriarty) must navigate her place in The Seven, as Homelander (Antony Starr) sets out to take full control. His power is threatened with the incorporation of Stormfront (Aya Cash), a new Supe who knows social networks, who has her own agenda. On top of that, the Supervillain threat takes center stage and makes waves as Vought tries to capitalize on the nation’s paranoia. ” The rest of The Seven is made up of Queen Maeve (Dominique McElligott), A-Train (Jessie T. Usher), The Deep (Chace Crawford) and Black Noir (Nathan Mitchell). Take a look at Cash’s Stormfront (at 38:40) and the first three minutes of Season 2 (at 47:36) in the following live video.
The upcoming episodes will also feature Goran Visnjic (Eternal) as Alistair Adana, the mysterious and charismatic head of a shady church, and Claudia Doumit (Eternal) as Congresswoman Victoria Neuman.
For those who need a review, Boys – adapted by Eric Kripke (Eternal, Supernatural) from the Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson comic: It’s about a group of superheroes known as The Seven, who abuse their powers and status. A group of vigilantes calling themselves The Boys makes it their mission to expose the truth about The Seven and Vought, the billionaire conglomerate that wields superheroes. The freshman race wrapped with two major spins (spoilers, obviously!): The “hero” Homelander killed Vought’s boss Madelyn Stillwell (Elisabeth Shue), while vigilante Butcher discovered that his allegedly dead wife Becca (Shantel VanSanten) is alive, as is Homelander’s son.
