“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. And for the most part, Homelander is under control. However, Butcher is still on the hunt for supes as part of his new job with the government. Which means he is working directly 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. Starlight attempts to work alongside The Boys to keep Homelander subdued and reconnects with an old friend, Super Sonic.
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.
Erin Moriarty
Erin Moriarty has been keeping busy on television and on film since she was a teenager. Her television acting roles include parts in Netflix’s Jessica Jones, as well the ABC series Red Widow and One Life to Live. But she is probably best known for her role as Annie January, a.k.a Starlight, in The Boys. During this interview, Erin tells us about what she thinks of Starlight’s character evolution, how she prepares for her role, and about the times Baristas at Starbucks recognize her.
Antony Starr
Antony Starr is no stranger to geeky franchises. For example, if you’re a fan of Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys franchises you probably saw him. And now stars as Homelander in The Boys. During this interview, Starr talks about what his favorite things about playing Homelander are and how he doesn’t get recognized as Homelander because he isn’t naturally blonde.
