Since their debut in 2019, Boys has been known for their “different take” on superheroes. Rumour has it that this hit TV show has already received the go-ahead for Season 3. The first season took the viewers by storm with their corrupt team of protagonists, a generous dose of gore-filled scenes and plenty of censor worthy words flying around. Top that off with a good serving of the steamy stuff, and you have a viewers favourite.
Given the fact that the second season of the show was claimed by Amazon Prime before the first season even premiered, gives us a good reason to believe that Season 3 is on the way. To add to the excitement, a new character is likely to be introduced.
It has been made evident from a comment posted by the Show-runner Eric Kripke during an Ask Me Anything on Reddit, hinting that he was all set to begin working on the third season. Another social media post of his hinted that the viewers can expect The Walking Dead star, Jeffery Dean Morgan to be starring in Season 3. Kripke and Morgan are already well acquainted with each other as they have already worked together on the show “Supernatural.”
The Boys in a lot of ways is more of an anti-superhero series with the mainstream superheroes
being the bad guys, arrogantly causing major collateral damage to the innocent civilians.
The actual heroes of the title in the show are an uncouth, disreputable group that takes the superheroes on. The basic concept of the good versus the bad is maintained, but the general viewers’ perception of right and wrong is played around with. We’re used to hooting for the guys that fly around wearing capes and ridiculously tight underwear. However, the show makes you want to cheer for the guy fighting back favouring his wits overshooting laser.
This slight change in perception makes the show extremely enjoyable, especially in the first episode where the show’s real hero (an essential non-hero in every possible way) is introduced to us. Hughie, played by Jack Quaid, is a regular downtrodden salesman with a good reason to dislike the superheroes.
The story sets off when Hughie is recruited by Billy Butcher, a bruiser who has his own set of reasons to end the superheroes. Over time more allies join their team and show progresses toward the superhero deconstruction. Essentially, this circumstantially “different” theme clubs with the larger idea of going against the privileged patriarchy of the American society and questions fraudulent celebrity culture.
However, Erick Kripke has not made any official statement yet on the topic of the third season being already ordered. For the time being, we can only hold on to the hope that the season three rumours turn out to be true before our anticipation consumes us.
