'The Boys' Season 3 release date, time, plot, cast, and trailer for Amazon’s superhero series


It feels like forever since we've ridden shotgun with Billy Butcher and his rowdy posse of unhinged vigilantes bent on keeping Vought International's unsavory band of corporate superheroes in check.

2020's Season 2 of The Boys was an explosive outing with craniums bursting and a duplicitous foe unveiled as a metahuman antagonist with anger issues. Vought International barely slithered out of the Compound V scandal, Hughie asked the director of the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs, Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit), for a job, totally unaware that she’s actually a prolific assassin, and after kidnapping Homelander’s son Ryan, Butcher placed the superpowered kid with Grace Mallory (Laila Robins) for protection.

On the brighter side, Mother’s Milk was reunited with his wife and daughter, and Frenchie and Kimiko embarked on a vacation to enjoy a bit of dancing. So buckle up for a bumpy ride, and let's unpack all the details of what Season 3 will bring.

Billy Butcher is now employed by the government, with Hughie acting as his direct supervisor. But this really isn't their style, and both men are yearning to get back on the streets to inflict untethered justice. When The Boys get word of a mysterious new anti-superhero weapon with frightening consequences, they put the band back together and embark on a collision course with Homelander and The Seven that leads to the legend of Soldier Boy, the world's first official costumed superhero.

Who stars in The Boys Season 3?

Season 3 of The Boys is an amalgam of new and old characters.

Will there be a The Boys Season 4?

Yes, Amazon Prime Video announced on March 22, 2022 that The Boys will get Season 4. Karl Urban has said he'll be busy filming throughout the end of 2022, so the pack leader will obviously survive Season 3's mayhem.
