The Boys star heads back to set for season 3
By Dan Selcke
It looks like filming on the third season of The Boys is starting back up! Fingers crossed for a 2021 release date…
The second season of The Boys was unquestionably one of the big TV hits of 2020. With so many superheroes darting across the big screen nowadays, it was the perfect time for a satire that turned the type on its head, telling a story about superheroes who are just the absolute worst, and the team of vigilantes trying to take them down.
After a satisfying finale, all eyes are on what showrunner Eric Kripke and his team will do for season 3. “The thing that has worried me about Season 3 is that it has become really fun and breezy to write again,” Kripke said the other week. “That worries me. It’s feeling enjoyable. I should be in intense, deep introspection for this. I know, obviously, that every season of a television show gets a little bit harder because all of your original best instincts to explore have been explored. So, you have to start going to some of the areas that it wouldn’t at first have occurred to you to go to in those stories, and those are always a little trickier to make feel as big and as fascinating as the stuff you hit early on. So, it’s challenging.”
Challenging or not, it’s happening, as star Jack Quaid (Hughie Campbell) recently revealed on Instagram:
“You’ll never guess where I’m going but it rhymes with Buh Toys Teason Shree.” Wait, lemme try and work that now. This could take a while…
When last we left Hughie, he had (unknowingly) wandered straight into the lion’s den, asking for a job with Congresswoman Victoria Neuman, who appeared to be against Vought and its legion of superheroes all season. In reality, she has a darker agenda, although we’re not quite sure what that is yet.
If all goes well, we could see The Boys season 3 by the end of the year. Hopefully the coronavirus doesn’t shut down too many more sets in the meantime.
