First up, The Boys season 2 release date was announced during a recent virtual event with the cast, which was hosted by Patton Oswalt. The comedian is set to guest star in season 2. The first three episodes will drop on September 4, with the rest of the season’s eight episodes dropping on a week-to-week basis every Friday. While Netflix has made binge-watching popular, shows like The Mandalorian and Watchmen have proved that a weekly strategy has its benefits. Executive producer Eric Kripke had this to say in a statement.

“We cannot wait to show you season two. It’s crazier, stranger, more intense, more emotional. In fact, it’s too much, so the Surgeon General** has insisted we air the first three episodes on September 4, then air the remaining five episodes weekly after that. We wanted to give you time to freak out, digest, discuss, come down from the high, before we give you another dose. We only have your well-being in mind. Hope you love the season as much as we do. **No, he didn’t.”
The Boys season 2 sees the gang on the run from the law and being hunted by the Supes. They are desperately trying to regroup to continue the fight. In hiding, Hughie (Jack Quaid), Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso), Frenchie (Tomer Capon) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) struggle to adapt to a new normal, with Butcher (Karl Urban) missing. Meanwhile, Starlight (Erin Moriarty) is seeking to find her place in The Seven as Homelander (Antony Starr) aims to take complete control. His power is threatened with the addition of Stormfront (Aya Cash). The social media-savvy addition to the group has plans of her own. Meanwhile, the Supervillain threat grows, with Vought aiming to capitalize on the country’s paranoia.
