“The Boys” Season 2 has received a premiere date from Amazon Prime Video, the streaming service announced Friday.
The first three episodes of the season will launch on Friday, Sept. 4, with the rest of the season rolling out weekly on the streaming service until the season finale on Oct. 9.
“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,” series creator and executive producer Eric Kripke said in the statement. (Note the statement also contained the following caveat: “**No, he didn’t.”)
“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.”
The premiere date was announced at a virtual event for the show hosted by Season 2 guest star Patton Oswalt on Friday. Featuring the show’s cast and executive producer Eric Kripke, the event looked back on Season 1 and teased some of what’s to come.
