New Image From THE BOYS Season 2 and the Cast Opens Up About the Insanity of It, Saying 'No One Is Ready'
Thanks to EW, we have a new photo to share with you for the upcoming second season of Amazon’s The Boys. I’ve also included quotes from actors Jack Quaid and Karl Urban talking about the series and teasing how ridiculously insane it’s going to be. According to them, no one is ready for what is coming.
Quaid began, saying, “We have gone so much further. No one is ready. Really. No one. I have done things this season I will never forget, [things] I’ve never done in my career and probably will not in the future. We just go above and beyond in terms of insane, jockeying moments.”
Urban went on to discuss his character Billy Butcher and tease that viewers will get to see a different side of him:
“[Season 2] is really about humanizing the character and exploring different dynamics. There’s the monster, the violent psychopath, the killer, but there’s also the more compassionate side, the more humanistic side of Billy… There are really some wonderful, unlikely relationships that are formed.
“Billy thinks the only good Supe is a dead Supe, and this season is really a season about growth. He’s coming to understand that things aren’t that black and white, there’s a certain shade of grey. He’s coming to understand that there is a benefit that comes with tolerance and being able to see that if he can use an asset, even if it’s a Supe, to achieve his goal, then he’s got to do it.”
Well, I think that I am ready for Season 2 of The Boys, and I’m excited about seeing how unimaginably crazy that it gets!
In Season 2, the Boys are 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 center stage and makes waves as Vought seeks to capitalize on the nation’s paranoia.
Series co-creator Eric Kripke previously refered to the second season as “crazier, stranger, more intense, more emotional. In fact, it’s too much, so the Surgeon General has insisted we air the first three episodes on September 4, then air the remaining five episodes weekly after that. We wanted to give you time to freak out, digest, discuss, come down from the high before we give you another dose.”
The Boys Season 2 hits Amazon on September 4th.
