Shooting on Season 3 of The Boys isn’t expected to conclude until September, which makes it very unlikely that we’ll be seeing Billy Butcher and the gang back on our screens before the end of the year. Which is a real shame, because the blackly comic and subversive superhero series is arguably Amazon’s marquee episodic project these days, drawing in viewership numbers comparable with Netflix’s biggest hits.
Showrunner Eric Kripke has teased that the next run is going to be crazier than ever, which is a tall order based on the things we’ve seen unfold so far. Of course, Kripke can barely contain his excitement that he’s actually bringing the infamous “Herogasm” to the big screen, which is essentially one big Supe orgy hosted by Vought, so it’s best to take him at his word.
The biggest new addition to Season 3 so far is Kripke’s old Supernatural running buddy Jensen Ackles, who boarded the cast as Soldier Boy, The Boys‘ twisted spin on Captain America who could be getting brought back in from the wilderness and wheeled out in front of the world as a star-spangled counterpoint to the revelation that Stormfront was a Nazi all along. A new social media image shows the star looking grizzled and weathered enough to convince as a man living in exile, which you can see below.
Mother’s Milk actor Laz Alonso also teased that Season 3 is going to feature three times as much blood as the last outing for The Boys, which doesn’t even bear thinking about given the sheer levels of gonzo violence and superpowered insanity that’s characterized the show to date. Fans were furious they didn’t get to binge Season 2 in one go, which will no doubt make the wait for the next batch of new episodes feel even longer.
