The Boys, a satirical and quite violent TV show that’s breaking almost all the stereotypes we have ever known about the superhero genre is closing in with its third season on Amazon Prime Video.

The show debuted in the summer of 2019, and it received critical acclaim for its writing, humor, and performances of the cast, particularly Karl Urban as Billy Butcher and Antony Starr as the vicious villain Homelander.

The second season debuted in September 2020, and the third season is definitely on the way, with the release date still TBA. While we still wait for the official premiere date, showrunner Eric Kripke now opened up about what Season 3 is going to be about:

“Mediation on toxic masculinity. This season is about what is happening in our world, as usual. We found a way to delve even deeper into the characters, and we really pushed them all to their limits.”

Eric Kripke for TV Guide Magazine’s Sci-Fi & Fantasy Special Collector’s Issue (via TV Insider)

The fans are expecting quite the wild ride in Season 3. Many new characters will join, mainly Supes. Jensen Ackles will join as Soldier Boy, a parody of Marvel’s Captain America, while Laurie Holden will join as Crimson Countess, a parody of Marvel’s Scarlet Witch. Nick Wechsler as Blue Hawk, Miles Gaston Villanueva as Supersonic, Sean Patrick Flannery as Gunpowder, and Kristin Booth and Jack Doolan as siblings Tessa and Tommy aka TNT Twins will also join the show in the upcoming season.

The Boys is starring Urban, Starr, Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capon, and Karen Fukuhara.

Lukas Abramovich is a freelance writer and photo and video editor based in Croatia. He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
