Can you believe Season 3 of The Boys is finally airing this week? It feels like it’s taken an eternity for us to arrive at this point, but that’s part of what makes it so satisfying in the end. We’ll get a chance to witness what comes next for Homelander, Hughie, and a slew of other characters on the show.
During the press tour for the upcoming season, we’ve heard a lot about these two, just as we’ve heard all sorts about Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy. What we haven’t heard as much about is the story of Queen Maeve and Starlight, two of The Seven’s most famous female heroines and some of the show’s best characters.
There’s no doubting that gender plays a huge role in this rise and fall, which we expect The Boys to fully mock. Homelander is a perfect example of the contradiction that prevails in this town. Remember that he had a relationship with Stormfront, who was exposed as one of the world’s most heinous criminals. Despite the fact that his name is significantly less controversial than that of other female heroes, there’s a risk he’ll get noticed.
The show, which is based on a Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson comic series, pushes the superhero genre to its limits. “Our program is the real world in every aspect,” Kripke explains, “with the exception that the superheroes that everyone worships happen to be real.” The “supes” in the show aren’t the brave heroes one might assume; they’re more like egotistical villains. They’re always engaged in a raucous battle with The Boys, a small vigilante gang that works beneath the surface to bring down the supes, as well as their big corporate sponsor.
However, the show’s makers are looking for something more than just to watch superheroes battle. “What we’re actually interested in is late-stage capitalist and white supremacy wrapped in social media and systemic racism,” Kripke explained. Real heroes go about their business quietly, without apologies for getting the job done.”
The Boys Season 3 release date:
Yes! Prepare to start the summer with The Boys, while the first three episodes of The show 3 will premiere on Prime Video on Friday, June 3. There are a total of eight episodes in the season; the remaining five episodes will air one every week on Fridays after that.
Season 3 began filming around February 24, 2021, as Kripke marked with a photo of a Homelander statue on Twitter.
Cast and Characters in Season 3 of The Boys:
Before the Season 2 debut, Kripke announced that Jensen Ackles of Supernatural fame will be moving into the role of Soldier Boy. Ackles is coming off a 15-year run on Supernatural, which Kripke created in 2005. In fact, Ackles concluded filming for The Boys Season 3 exactly one year after wrapping Supernatural. In an Instagram video, he quipped, “Fun fact for ya.” “The last day on the production of Supernatural occurred a year ago, on September 10, 2020. The Boys’ final day on set is today, September 10, 2021. Coincidence?”
