Check out the announcement below: 

The Boys Season 3 Release Date

After a few months of waiting, the official release dates were revealed to the fans where The Boys Season 3 will premiere just a few weeks after the forthcoming Blu-ray release of the Boys Season 1 and Season 2.

The first three episodes will premiere on Friday, June 3, 2022. Then the other episodes will start to release on a weekly basis on Fridays, followed by the season finale scheduled for July 8, 2022.

Check out the announcement below:

The Boys Season 3 Plot

In The Boys Season 3, some of the known plotlines which fans have been speculating over are as follows: 

Butcher would certainly be mourning the murder of Becca, which occurred by mistake as a result of Ryan attempting to save his mother from Stormfront.

Meanwhile, Hughie is off trying to oppose Vought in a less dangerous way by working with the task force led by congresswoman Victoria Neuman — who also happens to be a super and the one responsible for killing everyone at the Vought congressional hearings.

Recently, Kripke said that the season would also have an episode named Herogasm, which will address an infamous comic-book scenario.

The production for the upcoming season has been completed since September of last year. According to news reports, The Boys Season 4 production has also begun to pick up speed. However, due to the worldwide pandemic, the shooting was delayed, causing post-production to be delayed for some time. 

As the show relies heavily on special effects, the completion will take time to get the best results for the fans to enjoy and make the wait worthwhile for a future installment. 

The Boys Season 3 Teaser Trailer 

On March 11, 2022, Karl Urban, star of The Boys, took to Twitter to announce that the first trailer for Season 3 would be released, and he assured the fans that “you’re going to love it,” and he wasn’t wrong because the post hyped up the fans even more for the teaser to drop a day later. 

Check out the post below: 

The highlight of the teaser trailer was the opening scene of Billy Butcher, where he is revealed to have his own set of superpowers. It implies that Billy will not gain his powers naturally, and it has some unfavorable side effects.

As the trailer progresses, such crazy events unfold that the fans can expect in the upcoming season. Last but not least, we get our first look at new addition Jensen Ackles, who plays Soldier Boy in the series.

Take a look at the official teaser trailer below:

Some of the fan’s reactions to The Boys Season 3

What can the fans expect in The Boys Season 3?

The Boys Season 3 will delve into the Seven before the Seven. This suggests that Soldier Boy, the first Captain America-style superhero, will be introduced in the show. 

Stormfront, Eagle the Archer, Tek Knight, and Chrimson Countess made up the team. Soldier Boy is now seen in all of his Marvel-parody magnificence in the new trailer.

“One of the reasons that we’re getting into Soldier Boy [in season 3] and that team, Payback, is we’re interested in exploring a little bit of how we got here,” Kripke told Entertainment Weekly.

He also shared the first photo from The Boys Season 3, which can be seen below: 

He added, “Through the history of the supes, we can tell a little bit about the history of America and how we ended up in the current fraught position that we’re in. Soldier Boy gives us an opportunity to do that.”

Soldier Boy and Supersonic will make their debuts in Season 3 of The Boys. The latter is Starlight’s ex-boyfriend, and he will sever her relationship with Hughie. Season Three of The Boys will delve into the imagined mythology of WWII-era America with the debut of Soldier Boy.

“Certain politicians like to pitch this somehow idyllic ‘good old days,’ where everything was perfect and calm. That is complete and utter bullshit,” Kripke told Entertainment Weekly. 

Where he further stated, “It was never that way. So, by exploring the history of Vought in the history of America, we get to make some of those points. There was never an America when they say ‘Make America Great Again.’ It was always a struggle. That’s the point. It’s a struggle to make things better.”

The Boys Season 3 Episodes 

The Boys Season 3 will consist of 8 episodes, as did the previous two seasons of the franchise. Each episode is anticipated to last between 55 and 68 minutes. Though the titles of the episodes have not been updated on official sites, The Boys Wiki has stated the following as the likely titles for each episode:

  • S3E1: Payback – June 3, 2022
  • S3E2: The Only Man in the Sky – June 3, 2022
  • S3E3: Barbary Coast – June 3, 2022
  • S3E4: Glorious Five Year Plan – June 10, 2022
  • S3E5: The Last Time to Look on This World of Lies – June 17, 2022
  • S3E6: Herogasm – June 24, 2022
  • S3E7: Here Comes a Candle to Light You to Bed – July 1, 2022
  • S3E8: The Instant White-Hot Wild – July 8, 2022

The episodes, like in Season 2, will be released weekly as a marketing technique, which is a great way to engage with fans and build up their anticipation to know more about how the events in the episodes will take place as the series progresses towards the finale rather than providing the entire season at once.

The Boys Overall Synopsis 

The Boys is set in a universe where superpowered individuals are recognized as heroes by the general public and work for the powerful corporation Vought International, which markets and monetizes them. Outside of their heroic personas, most are arrogant and corrupt. 

The series primarily focuses on two groups: the Seven, Vought’s premier superhero team, and the eponymous Boys, vigilantes looking to bring down Vought and its corrupt superheroes. The Boys are led by Billy Butcher, who despises all superpowered people, and the Seven are led by the narcissistic and violent Homelander.

At the start of the series, the Boys are joined by Hughie Campbell after the drug-addicted member of the Seven named A-Train accidentally kills his girlfriend, while the Seven are joined by Annie January, a young and hopeful heroine forced to face the truth about those she admires. 

Other members of the Seven include the disillusioned Queen Maeve, the insecure Deep, the mysterious Black Noir, and the secret white supremacist Stormfront. The Boys are rounded out by tactical planner Mother’s Milk, weapons specialist Frenchie, and superpowered test subject Kimiko. Overseeing the Seven is Vought executive Madelyn Stillwell, who is later succeeded by publicist Ashley Barrett.
