THE BOYS: Amazon Sets September Launch for Season 2

THE BOYS will be back on Friday, September 4, Amazon announced.

The second season—inspired by the graphic novel by the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson— will debut with three episodes, with new installments dropping every Friday. Season 2 is set to conclude on Friday, October 9. (The first season, which dropped last summer, was released all at once.)

“We cannot WAIT to show you season 2,” series creator Eric Kripke said in a statement. “It’s crazier, stranger, more intense, more emotional. In fact, it’s too much — so the Surgeon General** has insisted we air the first three episodes on September 4, then air the remaining five episodes weekly after that. We wanted to give you time to freak out, digest, discuss, come down from the high, before we give you another dose. We only have your well-being in mind. Hope you love the season as much as we do.

**No, he didn’t.”

In season 2, “The Boys on the run from the law, hunted by the Supes, and desperately trying to regroup and fight back against Vought. In hiding, Hughie (Jack Quaid), Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso), Frenchie (Tomer Capon) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) try to adjust to a new normal, with Butcher (Karl Urban) nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Starlight (Erin Moriarty) must navigate her place in The Seven as Homelander (Antony Starr) sets his sights on taking complete control. His power is threatened with the addition of Stormfront (Aya Cash), a social media-savvy new Supe, who has an agenda of her own.  On top of that, the Supervillain threat takes center stage and makes waves as Vought seeks to capitalize on the nation’s paranoia. The Supes of The Seven also include Queen Maeve (Dominique McElligott), A-Train (Jessie T. Usher), The Deep (Chace Crawford) and Black Noir (Nathan Mitchell). ”

Recurring in season 2 are TIMELESS’ Claudia Doumit, Goran Visnijc, and Malcolm Barrett (reuniting with Kripke, who co-created the NBC time travel drama), as well as Colby Minifie, Shantel VanSanten, Cameron Crovetti, PJ Byrne, Laila Robbins, and Giancarlo Esposito.
