The Boys Story (Season One Summary)
In season 1, the corrupt superheroes named 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 controversy within the seven when newcomer Annie January / Starlight (Erin Moriarty) joins the superhero crew. It 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-like 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 superhero The Homelander (Antony Starr) during a shocking revelation 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 newcomer to the show is Aya Cash, who plays a superpowered neo-Nazi named Stormfront.
“I think Stormfront is like a nuclear bomb that explodes in the seven,” Cash told Entertainment Weekly in March. “She’s here to try to get Vought back to the original idea behind superhero creation, and she can be pretty feminist. There’s a lot, I wouldn’t say misdirection, but it’s also one very skilled woman. “
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 by Garth Ennis (preacher) and Darick Robertson, who ran 72 issues from 2008 to 2012.
When is the release date?
Filming for the second season started in Toronto in the summer of 2019. Urban posted on Instagram on November 6 that filming for the second season of The Boys had been completed.
The boys’ second season will premiere the first three episodes on Amazon Prime on September 4th. New episodes will be available every Friday, culminating in a season finale on October 9th. There are eight episodes in total.
