Watch: Final trailer for The Boys Season 2
David Farnor | On 04, Aug 2020
The Boys return to Amazon Prime Video this September, and we’ve got one more look at the upcoming chaos with the final trailer for Season 2.
The superhero satire is based on the comic by Garth Ennis (Preacher) and Darick Robertson (Happy!) and asks what happens when superheroes abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. As popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as Gods, the super powerful are taken down by the powerless, as “The Boys” embark on a heroic quest to expose the corrupt, immoral truth about “The Seven”, a team of famous heroes, and Vought – the multi-billion dollar conglomerate that protects them.
Season 2 sees the gang on the run from the law, with Hughie (Jack Quaid), Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso), Frenchie (Tomer Capon) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) trying 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 – and faces a new threat to his power with the arrival of Stormfront (Aya Cash), a social media-savvy Supe with an agenda of her own.
The first three episodes of Season 2 launch on 4th September, with new episodes then airing weekly. Here’s the new video:
Watch: New clip from The Boys Season 2
24th July 2020
The Boys are back in town this September, and judging by the new clip from Season 2, they’re not letting anything – especially a whale – get in their way.
The superhero satire is based on the comic by Garth Ennis (Preacher) and Darick Robertson (Happy!) and asks what happens when superheroes abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. As popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as Gods, the super powerful are taken down by the powerless, as “The Boys” embark on a heroic quest to expose the corrupt, immoral truth about “The Seven”, a team of famous heroes, and Vought – the multi-billion dollar conglomerate that protects them.
Season 2 promises to be “more intense” and “more desperate”, as it finds The Boys on the run from the law, trying to fight back against Voight, as it cashes in on the threat of Supervillains. The new clip certainly lives up to that billing, as The Boys try to outrun a pod of dolphins – and turn to extreme measures to escape.
The video was unveiled as part of Amazon’s Comic-Con At Home panel last night, when it was also announced that the show would return for a third season. You can watch that panel, and keep up with our daily highlights from Comic-Con’s online edition here.
Season 2 of The Boys, meanwhile, premieres on 4th September on Amazon Prime Video. Here’s the new video, which, be warned, contains graphic material.

“The world still needs superheroes,” declares Homelander (Anthony Starr) in the trailer for The Boys, and Season 2 promises to pull apart that notion through increasingly gory spectacle.
The superhero satire is based on the comic by Garth Ennis (Preacher) and Darick Robertson (Happy!) and asks what happens when superheroes abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. As popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as Gods, the super powerful are taken down by the powerless, as “The Boys” embark on a heroic quest to expose the corrupt, immoral truth about “The Seven”, a team of famous heroes, and Vought – the multi-billion dollar conglomerate that protects them.
The more intense, more desperate Season 2 sees The Boys reeling from their losses in Season 1. On the run from the law, they struggle to fight back, as Vought cashes in on the threat of Supervillains. 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.
The series is back in action on 4th September – action that, judging by the trailer, will see helicopters crash, buildings explode and much more carnage. Here’s the video:

Quaid told TV Line that fans “should expect wilder events” from the show’s sophomore season, adding that the cast and crew have “more than topped ourselves”.
“[Season 2] on the whole is a lot bigger in scale, but we also have gotten way deeper with each character, which I think is important for [a second season], really finding out even more of what makes these characters tick. I think we definitely did that,” he continued. “I think the scripts are so good this season. Not that they weren’t last year, it’s just we’re in the groove. I’m really digging it.”
His comments arrive as Karl Urban has been dropping updates from the set on Instagram, announcing this week that he had finished filming.
“That’s a wrap for Billy Butcher for season two of The Boys. Massive thanks to our awesome cast and crew,” he said, adding that The Boys Season 2 will air on Amazon Prime Video in mid-2020.
