The Boys Story (Season One Summary)
In season 1, corrupt superheroes The Seven cause a young man named Hughie (Jack Quaid) to take revenge if they accidentally kill his girlfriend. Hughie teams up with anti-cape guards called The Boys.
The team consists of charismatic leader Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) as well as breast milk (Laz Alonso), woman (Karen Fukuhara) and Frenchie (Tomer Capon).
But there is also controversy within the seven when newcomer Annie January / Starlight (Erin Moriarty) joins the superhero crew. She struggles with everything from the dangers of fame to Dealing with a # MeToo nightmare. Through their eyes we see everything that is wrong with the seven and how they abuse their power as superheroes.
At the end of season one, The Seven’s lineup will change forever. Aquaman-style superhero The Deep (Chace Crawford) is pushed out of the limelight after sexually assaulting his superhero Starlight in an incident that ended in a #MeToo scandal.
Superhero A-Train (Jessie Usher) is a drug addict who uses a superhero-level steroid to run even faster, with fatal results.
The handler of the seven, Madelyn Stillwell (Elisabeth Shue), is murdered by the superhero The Homelander (Antony Starr) during a shocking reveal that she kept secret from him (he secretly produced a superbaby). The twist is that the mother is Billy Butcher’s wife, whom he thought was dead.
The Boys Storyline (Season 2 Theories)
In season 2, all of these action points need to be addressed and a new handler and maybe a few superheroes involved.
If The Homelander gets out of hand, it may be up to superheroes Starlight and Queen Maeve (Dominique McElligott) to make The Seven real superheroes who are actually more about protecting humanity than their own superhero image.
The new actors include the timeless actors Goran Visnjic and Claudia Doumit. Visnjic plays Alistair Adana, the charismatic leader of a mysterious church. Doumit will play Victoria Neuman, a young prodigy congresswoman.
Another new addition to the show is actress Aya Cash, who plays a superpowered neo-Nazi named Stormfront.
Who does it?
The supernatural and timeless creator Eric Kripke is behind The Boys.
The series is produced by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen. It is based on the extremely dark comic strip by Garth Ennis (preacher) and Darick Robertson, who ran from 2008 to 2012 for 72 issues.
Here is the official poster of the second season of The Boys from Amazon.
