Based on the popular comic book created by Garth Ennis (Preacher) and Darick Robertson (Happy), The Boys what could happen if superheroes—who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods—abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. Intent on stopping the corrupt superheroes, ‘The Boys’, a group of vigilantes, continue their heroic quest to expose the truth about The Seven and Vought—the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets.

Season Three of The Boys picks up after a year of calm. Homelander’s (Antony Starr) subdued. Butcher (Karl Urban) works for the government, supervised by Hughie (Jack Quaid) of all people. But both men itch to turn this peace and quiet into blood and bone. So, when The Boys learn of a mysterious Anti-Supe weapon, it sends them crashing into the Seven, starting a war, and chasing the legend of the first Superhero: Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles)

“From our first conversation with Eric Kripke and the creative team about Season Three of The Boys, we knew the show was continuing to get even bolder—an impressive feat considering the wild success of the Emmy-nominated second season,” said Vernon Sanders, head of global television, Amazon Studios. “The Boys continues to push boundaries in storytelling while also being relentlessly entertaining and threading the needle on social satire that feels all too real.

“This stylized world of the series has incredible global reach and the viewership for opening weekend is proof of that. We are immensely proud of the cast and crew that has spawned a franchise for Prime Video, and we look forward to bringing more of The Boys to our customers.”

“Speaking for the cast and crew, we’re so grateful to Sony, Amazon, and most of all the fans for embracing the show and allowing us to make more,” added Eric Kripke, The Boys showrunner. “We’re thrilled to continue Butcher and the Boys’ fight against Homelander and the Seven, as well as comment on the insane world we’re living in. Also, this is the first time in history that exploding genitalia has led to further success.”

The Boys franchise also now includes an eight-episode anthology animated series, The Boys Presents: Diabolical, now streaming on Prime Video, as well as the Untitled Boys Spinoff, set at America’s only college exclusively for young-adult superheroes, which is currently in production.

Okay, Homelander usually looks pretty unhinged but in this first look of Season Three The Boys, not even his beloved publicity seems to be keeping the crazy away.

Check it out here…

Yes The Boys are back! The third season of the show will consist of eight episodes and will debut on Prime Video with three episodes on Friday, 3 June, with new episodes will be available each Friday following, leading up to the season finale on 8 July.

Based on The New York Times best-selling comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys is a fun and irreverent take on what happens when superheroes—who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods—abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. Intent on stopping the corrupt superheroes, The Boys, a group of vigilantes, continue their heroic quest to expose the truth about The Seven and Vought—the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. It’s the seemingly powerless against the super powerful.

Usher (Independence Day: Resurgence), Laz Alonso (Wrath of Man), Chace Crawford (Inheritance), Tomer Capon (When Heroes Fly), Karen Fukuhara (Suicide Squad), Nathan Mitchell (iZombie), Colby Minifie (Fear the Walking Dead), Claudia Doumit (Timeless), and Jensen Ackles (Supernatural).

The post The Boys Season Two: Win the superhero series on Blu-ray appeared first on Sci-Fi Tips.

Crawford plays The Deep, a “spoiled Zoolander meets Aquaman”, and one of the members of The Seven, the world’s top-tier superhero team managed by international conglomerate Vought. But these guys are no Justice League – in Crawford’s words, they are “abusive and they’re fraudulent and they’re liars and selfish people,” which is why Billy Butcher’s (Karl Urban) off-the-books team The Boys are so intent on bringing them down. The Seven’s sheer awfulness is driven home in the first episode, where The Deep casually commits sexual assault as if it’s a matter of course. We ask Crawford if it was a challenge taking on a character who starts off at such a low point, and going on to make him, if not likeable, at least understandable. “I think you do sympathise with him a little bit, because at the end of the day he’s sad. It’s a sad character, he doesn’t really know who he is. And he does get punished in a way, a little bit, he gets demoted, of sorts, and goes on a dark path. You get to peel back a few different layers and see the vulnerability and why he’s so insecure and why he hates himself.”

The Boys touches on some serious topics alongside the utter madness, with the premise allowing showrunner Eric Kripke (Supernatural) and Preacher producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg to “[take] down celebrity culture and the media culture and it even sort of ties in to politics and big money corporations,” Crawford says, not to mention the general conversation society’s been having in the last few years about the abuse of power. “I think it is contributing to the conversation, I hope in a good way,” Crawford muses. The Seven is certainly an excellent example of a toxic workplace, led by Antony Starr’s Homelander, an increasingly unhinged riff on Superman. But all that is incidental – this isn’t a serious, political show. Like Preacher, it’s gasp-inducingly outrageous and very, very funny.

“I think there was a nice balance,” Crawford says. “They used some real moments, some solid, grounded moments, and they also used some really out-there improv stuff that I did as well. I was wondering what’s the tone going to be when this all comes together, because there were so many moving parts, and I think it came together well.” We were surprised to hear that any improv would be allowed on a show that clearly has a lot of elements to juggle, and so was Crawford, although he was thrilled at the opportunity, especially when a lot of his more bizarre takes ended up being used in the final cut. “By the end of it they were a little bit more strict about the rampant swearing, but that was about it,” he tells us cheerfully.

Fans of the comics will see a lot that they recognise in the show – although The Deep’s diving helmet is MIA, much to Crawford’s relief – but the series does not slavishly adapt Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s source material. “Obviously the comics can be so out-there. You can’t do all that stuff [on TV], it can really turn a lot of people off,” Crawford explains. “I think in the beginning of it they follow the first volume pretty closely, where they introduce a new member of The Boys every episode, for the first four or five episodes, and then by the end of it [the show’s] starting to become its own thing, and I think if it moves forward [into Season 2] it will continue to be that. But the heart of the comics is always there.”

One area in which the show begins to diverge from the comics early on is in giving us more of The Seven and Vought, so that the series is basically a dual narrative, following both the supers and the team who are trying to bring them down. “I never even worked with any of The Boys, it was like two different films almost,” Crawford says, adding that the two halves of the cast barely even bumped into each other behind the scenes, although they would all go out to dinner together. “We’re in our glossy Vought Tower in our suits and then they’re shooting all over Toronto late at night in these humid tight cramped spaces and everyone’s yelling – apparently it was like two different experiences,” Crawford chuckles.

But one thing the superhero side had to deal with was the costumes, which Crawford was pleasantly surprised by. “I was actually pretty nervous about it at first, just getting in and out of it and getting too hot… but it’s sleeveless, so I’m efficient now. I’m like a race car driver in a pit stop, I can get it on and off pretty fast.” Starr was not so lucky with his Homelander costume, which was so bulky it required its own cooling system.

Crawford admits to being uncertain about whether the show will be embraced by anyone outside of the usual superhero fans. “[I don’t know] if it’s just going to be a small, cult audience, or if it appeals to more people. It certainly appealed to me,” he adds, which says something as he openly admits to not being a superhero fan himself. The violence will, he says, inevitably put off some viewers, but he thinks that it will appeal to non-comic book fans too. “Not for nothing, it’s entertaining, right?” he says enthusiastically. “It’s really original and there’s nothing like it.”

The Boys Season 2 is on Prime Video now. The Boys Season 1 is on Blu-Ray now.
