The Boys received yet another award for its second season of supervillains and hijinks.
Rotten Tomatoes announced that Season 2 of The Boys won its Golden Tomato for Best Reviewed Superhero TV Show of 2020. The Critics' Choice Super Award-winning show pushed Netflix's The Umbrella Academy Season 2 into second place, I Am Not Okay With This into third and Supergirl Season 1 into fourth place in the superhero lineup.
At the time of this writing, Season 2 of The Boys is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a critic rating of 97% and an audience score of 80%.
The show's second season follows Hughie (Jack Quaid) developing a relationship with Annie (Erin Moriarty) while the rest of the team investigates the origin of Stormfront (Aya Cash). As Stormfront aligns herself with Homelander (Antony Starr), Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) realizes just how much danger his wife and her son are in at a secret Vought compound.
In February 2020, Season 3 of The Boys began filming. On March 2, the first look at Supernatural's Jensen Ackles' character, Soldier Boy, appeared on Instagram. A fan-captured photo showed a glimpse of the patriotic hero as he enters the Dawn of the Seven film premiere, which is confirmed to be the universe's in-world Supe film.
Kripke confirmed in December 2020 that Soldier Boy is a Captain America-esque Supe who rose to fame during World War II and knew Storefront/Liberty. "Yes, he knew her when she was Liberty," Kripke stated.
Ackles will be joined in the upcoming season with Supernatural alums Meredith Glynn, David Reed and Jim Michaels. Glynn worked as a co-executive producer and writer on Supernatural from 2016 to 2020, Reed was a writer and script coordinator on Supernatural from 2009 to 2012 and Michaels was a producer and later co-executive producer on Supernatural from 2009 until the show's finale in 2020. All three are joining Season 3 of The Boys as executive producers.
Amazon Studios' The Boys stars Karl Urban as Billy Butcher, Jack Quaid as Hughie, Laz Alonso as Mother's Milk, Tomer Kapon as Frenchie, Karen Fukuhara as Kimiko, Erin Moriarty as Annie January, Chace Crawford as the Deep, Antony Starr as Homelander and Aya Cash as Stormfront. Seasons 3 has yet to receive a premiere date.
