In the second season, 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 Billy 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.”

The Boys is based on the comic book of the same name from Dynamite Comics. It is unlike most other superhero stories, set in a universe where the world’s greatest superheroes are in actuality corrupt. This group of Avengers-like superheroes, called the Seven, are owned by the powerful corporation Vought International. Meanwhile, a group of vigilantes known as the Boys can be seen as the city’s true heroes, as their goal is to keep the corrupted superheroes under control. The group is led by Billy Butcher, a man who utterly despises all superpowered people, and the series begins with two new members joining the group after their own horrifying ordeals with the Seven.
