Usher), who’s a member of the Seven, America’s premier superhero team. In a judiciously horrifying scene, we witness the accidental obliteration of Hughie’s fiancée by an out-of-control Flash-like character, A-Train (Jessie T.
#BAD BOYS AMAZON PRIME SERIES#
The visual takeaway is still people in tights who can fly and shoot lasers out of their eyes, the wrinkle being that we’re rooting for the guy fighting back with his wits and a crowbar.Īll of that said, the series is quite enjoyable, particularly in a fast and clever first episode (written by Kripke and directed by Dan Trachtenberg) that introduces us to the show’s world - marginally exaggerated from our own - and gives the show’s real hero, the distinctly non-superpowered electronics salesman Hughie (Jack Quaid), a reason to hate the supes. That it’s an anti-superhero show - in which the costumed crime fighters are the bad guys, arrogant and corporatized and heedless of collateral damage to innocent humans, and the Boys of the title are a motley, disreputable bunch who take them on - doesn’t change the basic equation. “The Boys” is also a little more of a known quantity because it’s a superhero show. (“Preacher” is overseen by Sam Catlin, whose previous writing and producing experience includes “Breaking Bad.”) “The Boys” is not pitched at the feverish level of “Preacher,” in terms of either mayhem or dark comic style - its showrunner, Eric Kripke, is the maker of network series like “Supernatural” and “Timeless,” and the eight-episode “Boys” is like a high-end, more thoughtfully assembled, slightly bloodier and sexier version of one of those conventional shows. 4 - the three are getting right back in the game, with a new show based on an Ennis comic, “The Boys,” coming to Amazon Prime Video on Friday. With “Preacher” on the way out - its final season begins Aug. The weekly release was a production decision that Amazon agreed on, so we’re certainly expecting the same for The Boys Season 3.The team of Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen (producers) and Garth Ennis (comics writer) has given us AMC’s “Preacher,” the most inventive, audacious and purely entertaining comics-based series of the past few years. According to The Wrap, Eric Kripke says the weekly release format is the reason for the show getting nominated for Best Drama at the Emmys. One thing we are expecting is another weekly release format. We’ll keep an eye on the updates as they happen. We’re hoping for sooner, but we’re playing it safe. It could be summer 2022 before we get the new season. It took longer to get started with filming due to the pandemic, and episodes are taking longer to film due to the pandemic protocols. We’re expecting longer for shows this year though. Even if the show wrapped filming within the next couple of months, it could take at least six months work in post-production to get it ready.Īmazon shows usually take about 14 to 18 months between seasons. However, we’re not expecting the new season to arrive in 2021.
The Boys Season 3 release date predictions
With all this in mind, when can we expect the new season? Here’s what we can predict so far.
Then there’s the post-production work afterward. If filming is still happening, there’s no way of getting the show. Production is still ongoing in Toronto at the moment.
