•Episode one – Payback
Amazon Studios released the official trailer for The Boys season 3 on May 16. And, if you thought the first teaser was ridiculously pleasing – you can view that further down this page – you'll love what's on offer in this one.
The video opens with Homelander regurgitating the same PR spiel to numerous media outlets. Every time he repeats the same scripted lines, though, he looks increasingly maniacal. So it shouldn't be long before we see him go completely off the rails, which is what the trailer ends up showing.
Homelander's descent into madness isn't the only shocking moments within, though. We get a first proper look at Jensen Ackles' Soldier Boy, as well as Payback – the superhero team he leads – in action during the Vietnam War. Turns out, they're just as horrible as The Seven. Go figure.
Meanwhile, things quickly spiral out of control for The Boys, too. Billy is clearly lost without a mission to conduct, so when he's handed the chance to go toe-to-toe with The Seven and company – by way of Temp V, a new experimental serum – he takes it. We imagine that there'll be plenty of infighting about the ethical conundrums that come with injecting this knock-off substance, with Mother's Milk and Hughie at the forefront of those concerns.
It seems that infighting/civil wars are the overarching theme in The Boys season 3. The Boys, The Seven, Payback... they'll all be at it as new battle lines are drawn. Expect plenty of gory twists and turns throughout the season's eight-episode run.
If you missed its reveal in mid-March, check out the season's first teaser right now:
Here's the full cast list for The Boys season 3:
•Karl Urban as William 'Billy' Butcher
•Jack Quaid as Hugh 'Hughie' Campbell Jr.
•Antony Starr as John/Homelander
•Erin Moriarty as Annie January/Starlight
•Dominique McElligott as Maggie Shaw/Queen Maeve
Spoilers follow for The Boys season 2 and the graphic novels.
Here's the official synopsis: "It’s been a year of calm. Homelander’s subdued. Butcher works for the government, supervised by Hughie 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."
That's not much to go on. But, based on what we've seen in the trailers (we aren't spoiling the episodes we've seen, don't worry), we can speculate on what will go down.
For starters, it looks like the show will finally explore a key component of the comic series' plot – i.e. The Boys dosing themselves up with Compound V to level the playing field with The Seven, Payback, and other Supes.
Well, Billy will be taking Compound V – or a variation on it called Temp V, which provides any wielder with superpowers for 24 hours. Judging by the footage, it seems he'll get lazer eyes to go alongside the superhuman strength he acquires in the comics, too. Regardless, Queen Maeve must be truly desperate (about bumping Homelander off, that is) to give Billy some doses of the stuff.
So it looks like Billy is going to take the fight to Homelander. In the first teaser, we see the leader of the Seven looking very concerned (is that a bruise on his right cheekbone?). So maybe Billy's doled out some punishment on Homelander, and now the latter realizes he's got a worthy adversary who could end up doing significant damage to him – or, even worse, kill him outright.
Tiding fans over until The Boys season 3's arrival, a YouTube tie-in series covered the wider Boys universe in more general terms.
'Seven on 7' with Cameron Coleman was a news-style episodic miniseries that bridges the gap between seasons 2 and 3. Starring Matthew Edison as the titular news anchor, it was broadcast on the fictional Vought News channel and detailed the latest news surrounding the world's greatest superhero group, as well as secondary Supes and other important characters.
Speaking to The Wrap, Kripke said 'Seven on 7' is "all real, canon stuff", so it'll contain interesting snippets for fans to keep abreast of ahead of season 3. Cameron will also cameo in the show's third season, as revealed by the official trailer.
Check out all seven episodes of Seven on 7 below:
•Episode one (July 2021)
•Episode two (August 2021)
Kripke has revealed that he's planned for five seasons. However, he also teased the prospect of more instalments in October 2020:

It's unsurprising, seeing as Supernatural – the show that made Kripke's name – was originally supposed to run for five seasons, but ended up making it to 15. Kripke may decide, then, that The Boys needs more time to wrap up its story. There are 72 issues of Ennis and Robertson's comics and, while the TV show has gone in its own direction story wise, there's enough plot left to tell for at least three or four seasons.
For now, Kripke would only divulge which legendary DC superhero he wants to satirize next, telling TechRadar: "The one we haven't figured out yet is Batman – he remains a character we still need to touch on. And we should, because he's basically a capitalist nightmare who was oppressing lower classes of criminals just to advance his family's wealth, so you'd think we should get into that! Actually, I think I'm going to get into that right now."
Meanwhile, the show's cast are in the dark about whether it'll get another instalment. Speaking to TechRadar before The Boys season 3's release, Nathan Mitchell (who plays Black Noir) said: "We're very hopeful that we get a four season. But I think that all depends on how this season is perceived and what people with more power to decide. So, you know, fingers crossed."
