Amazon’s superhero series, The Boys is back to wreak havoc for its second season on Friday, September 4.
The first three episodes will arrive on the streaming service culminating with an epic finale on October 9.
But before we find out where “the boys” are at, Amazon has released the official trailer for the next instalment.
The even more intense, more insane second season finds The Boys on the run from the law, hunted by the Supes, and desperately trying to regroup and fight back against Vought.
In hiding, Hughie (Jack Quaid), Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso), Frenchie (Tomer Capon) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) try to adjust to a new normal, with Butcher (Karl Urban) nowhere to be found.
Meanwhile, Starlight (Erin Moriarty) must navigate her place in The Seven as Homelander (Antony Starr) sets his sights on taking complete control. His power is threatened with the addition of Stormfront (Aya Cash), a social-media-savvy new Supe, who has an agenda of her own. On top of that, the Supervillain threat takes centre stage and makes waves as Vought seeks to capitalise on the nation’s paranoia.
Cash, who plays new supe Stormfront, spoke to Entertainment Weekly about joining the cast.
“I think Stormfront is like a nuclear bomb that goes off in the Seven. Maybe a nuclear bomb isn’t the right word. We’re in Chernobyl. There you go. It’s a Chernobyl thing.
“I think she’s here to blow up Vought. She’s here to try to get Vought back to the original idea behind creating superheroes… And she can be quite the feminist. There’s a lot of, I wouldn’t say misdirect, but she also is a very empowered woman.”
