The Boys Renewed for Season 3

The Boys has been renewed for Season 3 ahead of the show's Season 2 premiere on September 4, executive producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg announced during Amazon Prime Video's Comic-Con@Home 2020 panel for the twisted superhero series. The Boys panel was featured as part of IGN's Comic-Con@Home livestream - check out our full Comic-Con 2020 panel schedule for everything coming up over Comic-Con weekend. "Because this show has fans and it is watched by people like you, they have decided to renew it yet again for a third season," Rogen said. "So if you like The Boys, you got more of it, thank God!" "We never know if things we make are gonna keep moving on forward or get shut down," Goldberg laughed. "This one’s not shut down yet."

He cheekily added, "Don’t be surprised if you see a lot of superheroes in what are essentially hermetically sealed outfits that do not allow any of their breath to interact with anyone else’s breath - it’s just a wardrobe choice, it has nothing to do with the current climate." The panel also revealed that the series will receive a weekly aftershow called Prime Rewind: Inside the Boys, hosted by Aisha Tyler.

Showrunner Eric Kripke offered a tantalizing preview of Season 2 (along with a typically effed up sneak peek clip from the new season featuring a whale), promising, "When we pick up Season 2, it’s a lot more intense. We worked hard to make Season 2 crazier but also more emotional and higher stakes. Everyone’s in a really tight spot; The Boys are wanted fugitives coming off of last season, they’re hunted, they’re basically totally screwed and they’re doing their best to fight back at Vought however they can but Season 1 was a big loss for them. Conversely, Homelander killed the only person who could control him in Stillwell, so he’s increasingly out of control, he’s ascendant, he’s making Vought a scarier place, and Starlight is sort of trapped in this living nightmare, so I think everyone is pushed to the limits in Season 2."
