The Boys Season 3 India Release Time, Episodes, Cast, Trailer, New Characters & More

The boys Season 3, which is set to debut this week on Amazon Prime Video, marks the return of some highly polarizing characters – from Karl Urban’s Billy Butcher to Antony Starr’s Homelander – who were last seen putting on set our screens on fire in 2020 when the previous installment ended with a brutal and daring final episode. While most plot details are under wraps, pretty much all of the promotional material released so far points to this being bolder and bloodier than previous installments. It could also lay the groundwork for the supposed but yet to be announced fourth season of The boys.

With that, here’s everything you need to know about The boys season 3.

The boys india season 3 release date and time

The first three episodes of the eight parts The boys Season 3 will be released Friday, June 3 on Amazon Prime Video at 10 a.m. IST.

A new episode is released every Friday, with the last one airing on July 8, nearly four weeks after its debut.

The boys season 3 episodes

As mentioned earlier, there are eight episodes in The boys season 3. Although not much is known about how they will pan out, showrunner Eric Kripke said some time ago that the opening episode, titled “Payback,” would feature “the thing craziest thing we’ve ever done.”

The sixth episode also grabbed attention as it featured the screen adaptation of the comic book spin-off “The Boys: Herogasm.” Kripke described it as “not just an hour of hardcore porn”.

The boys Season 3 cast and new characters

Jensen Ackles and Sean Patrick Flanery are unquestionably the biggest new additions to The boys Season 3 cast. Ackles plays the legendary superhero Soldier Boy, a character with a compelling story. Kripke revealed a while ago that the series would examine America’s past through this character while addressing issues caused by toxic masculinity.

Kripke said, “Season 3 dives a lot more into the story of how we got here through this Soldier Boy character. We were able to both dig into the history of the country and also really look at toxic masculinity and male roles, and what caused it.

Flanery, meanwhile, plays the Judge Dredd-inspired Gunpowder. We are likely to get more clarity on this new addition to The boys universe once the show premiered. Nick Weschler as Blue Hawk, Laurie Holden as Crimson Countess and Miles Gaston Villanueva as Supersonic are the other new entrants on The boys season 3. Few details are available on their characters, however.

They join Urban and Starr, who are making headlines again The boys season 3 stars vigilante anti-hero William “Billy” Butcher and twisted “Supe” Homelander, respectively. Butcher is expected to gain superpowers this time around, albeit for 24 hours, suggesting his fights with his nemesis will be bloodier than usual. Urban alluded to the same with his “out of blood” comment.

However, this is not the only strong point of The boys season 3 as Homelander’s mental condition has also been a topic of discussion among die-hard fans of the show. From what we have seen in The boys trailer for season 3, he’s on the verge of breakdown. Starr hinted at this a while ago when he revealed that fans would be “frightened” by what would happen in the third installment of The boys.

The boys The Season 3 cast also includes Jack Quaid as the titular organization’s civilian member Hughie Campbell, Erin Moriarty as the compassionate superhero Starlight, Dominique McElligott as the disillusioned “Supe” Queen Maeve, Laz Alonso as the as former physician Marvin T. “Mother’s” Milk, Giancarlo Esposito as ruthless Vought CEO Stan Edgar, and Karen Fukuhara as mute vigilante Kimiko Miyashiro/The Female. Moriarty recently revealed that her character will face several ups and downs in the final season as she prepares to step up her fight against “explicit toxic masculinity”.

Moriarty said: “It’s a lot of overt and explicit toxic masculinity that she’s been fighting this season. I think she’s so strong that she’s always ready to stand up and be defeated. But the interesting thing about this season is that toxic masculinity is coming from places and people we don’t expect, implying a real global issue that’s still present in 2022.”

We’ll find out more about their character arcs on The boys season 3 once the show premieres.

The boys season 3 recap

Here is the official synopsis of The boys season 3 via Amazon:

It has been a quiet year. Homelander is overpowered. Butcher works for the government, overseen by Hughie of All. But both men are eager to turn that peace and tranquility into blood and bone. So when the boys learn of a mysterious anti-supe weapon, it sends them crashing into all seven, starting a war, and chasing the legend of the first superhero: Soldier Boy.

The boys season 3 trailer

The first teaser for The boys season 3 was released on March 12. It featured no dialogue, but confirmed that Butcher would gain superpowers this time around.

full length The boys season 3 trailer (underneath) was released on May 16, nearly two months after the silent teaser. It gave us a closer look at Homelander’s seemingly fragile mental state and highlighted the dilemma Butcher faces after gaining superpowers.

This was followed by a “public service announcement” revolving around Soldier Boy, which piqued fans’ curiosity without revealing much about the “first superhero”.

The boys season 3 review

At the time of writing, not a single review for The boys season 3 was available, indicating that Amazon apparently did not provide early access to reviews. The first opinions on The boys season 3 is therefore expected after the premiere.

The boys season 4?

While Amazon Prime Video has yet to announce the next episode of The boysUrban recently revealed that he would be “turning The boys “until the end of the year”.

Fans think it was his way of confirming that The boys season 4 is indeed on the cards. Either way we get a college set The boys spin off. It is billed as a story about the “lives of hormonally competitive Supes as they test their physical, sexual and moral limits, competing for the best contracts in the best cities.” Part college show, part hunger games — with all the heart, satire and growl of The boys.”

Based on these developments, the brand is set to grow in the near future.
