“The Boys” Season 3

The Boys is a look at what the world would really look like if Superheroes were real. Where they are treated more like celebrities, it looks at what their influences in politics would be, and the different ways they could abuse that power. And it follows the story of a Vigilante group The Boys, who try to keep the superheroes in check. The Boys is based on The New York Times best-selling comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.

 

Season Three takes place a year after the events of Season Two.  Homelander is under control for the most part and Butcher is hunting supes for the government while working under his formal protege Hughie. The Boys learn of a mysterious Anti-Supe weapon, which sends them crashing into the Seven, and has them chasing the legend of the first Superhero: Soldier Boy.

Season Three of The Boys stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Jensen Ackles.
