Amazon Renews THE BOYS

Amazon has ordered a third season of THE BOYS, it was announced during the show’s Comic-Con panel. Additionally, the series is getting its own aftershow PRIME REWIND: INSIDE THE BOYS.

“Amazon, in a bold and historic push to expand their ‘weirdo’ demographic, has greenlit Season 3 of THE BOYS!” creator Eric Kripke said in a statement. “The writers and I are hard at work in the (virtual) writer’s room and we’re sad to say, the world has given us way too much material.  We hope to be shooting in early 2021, but that’s up to a microscopic virus.”

“As if that wasn’t enough, we’re bringing you a Season 2 after show, PRIME REWIND: INSIDE THE BOYS,” he continued. “Double entendre intended. Hosted by the incomparable Aisha Tyler and guest starring the cast and crew, it’s a deep dive into how we make this insane thing.  Seriously, thanks to Sony, Amazon and the fans. We love making this show so much, and we’re thrilled we get to make more.” 

“Eric Kripke and the incredible cast of THE BOYS continue to deliver a wild and action-packed series full of surprises and can’t-miss moments that have made the series a global hit,” said Vernon Sanders, Co-Head of Television, Amazon Studios. “We couldn’t be more excited to see where Eric takes THE BOYS and The Supes in Season 3, and to have Aisha Tyler join THE BOYS family as the host of PRIME REWIND: INSIDE THE BOYS.”

“THE BOYS is unlike any other show on television,” said Jeffrey Frost, President, Sony Pictures Television Studios. “It’s incredibly entertaining and compelling and elevates genre programming to a whole new level. We’re very excited about Season 3 as we know Eric Kripke and this incredibly talented cast are going to raise the bar even higher.  And PRIME REWIND: INSIDE THE BOYS is the perfect show to bring it all home!”

Aisha Tyler added, “THE BOYS is one of the smartest, most irreverent, unapologetically badass shows streaming. I became a fan during Season 1 and this season I’m stoked to be flying fans into the heart of the show as host of PRIME REWIND: INSIDE THE BOYS. Season 2 is bigger, badder, and more audacious than ever before, so join me after every episode as we dig through the rubble pile of our feelings. I promise, we’ll get through it like The Boys — dysfunctional, but together.”

In season 2, Amazon teases “The Boys [are] 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 (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 this year 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.
