Plot Synopsis

Based on Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's comic book series of the same name, THE BOYS is a superhero drama series that explores what happens when superheroes -- who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods -- abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It's the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about The Seven, and Vought -- the multi-billion dollar conglomerate that manages these superheroes and covers up all of their dirty secrets. When Hughie suffers a devastating loss at the hands of a reckless Supe, his devastation turns to outrage when he discovers there is no legal recourse for victims of collateral superhero damage. While still reeling from his trauma, Hughie meets a mysterious operative, Billy Butcher, who recruits him to join in his pursuit of some vigilante justice against the Supes -- who are not exactly what they seem. Executive produced by Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen, and Evan Goldberg, THE BOYS premiered on Amazon Prime on Friday, July 26, 2019 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT.

Amazon Prime Video premiered the eight-episode second season of THE BOYS on Friday, September 4, 2020 with the first three episodes. A new episode drops each Friday following, culminating in an epic season finale on October 9. The even more intense, more insane Season 2 finds The Boys on the run from the law, hunted by the Supes, and desperately trying to regroup and fight back against Vought. In hiding, Hughie, Mother's Milk, Frenchie and Kimiko try to adjust to a new normal, with Butcher nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Starlight must navigate her place in The Seven as Homelander sets his sights on taking complete control. His power is threatened with the addition of Stormfront, 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 Supes of The Seven also include Queen Maeve, A-Train, The Deep, and Black Noir. Recurring stars in Season 2 include Claudia Doumit, Goran Visnijc, Malcolm Barrett, Colby Minifie, Shantel VanSanten, Cameron Crovetti, PJ Byrne, Laila Robbins and Giancarlo Esposito returning as Vought boss Stan Edgar, among others.

The eight-episode third season of THE BOYS debuted on Prime Video with three episodes on Friday, June 3, 2022. A new episode was available each Friday through July 8. In the new season, The Boys continue their heroic quest to expose the truth about The Seven and Vought -- the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. It's the seemingly powerless against the super powerful. Jensen Ackles joins the cast for Season 3 as Soldier Boy -- the original Superhero. After Soldier Boy fought in World War II, he became the first super celebrity, and a mainstay of American culture for decades. At the time of the casting announcement, Showrunner and Executive Producer of THE BOYS Eric Kripke stated, "When I was a child, I had a crazy, impossible dream -- to provide Jensen Ackles with gainful employment. I'm happy to say that dream has come true. Jensen is an amazing actor, an even better person, smells like warm chocolate chip cookies, and I consider him a brother. As Soldier Boy, the very first Superhero, he'll bring so much humor, pathos, and danger to the role. I can't wait to be on set with him again, and bring a bit of SUPERNATURAL to THE BOYS."

Season 4 of THE BOYS debuted on Thursday, June 13, 2024 on Prime Video, which released the first three episodes of the new season. A new installment drops weekly on Thursdays through July 18. In the fourth season, the world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power. Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca's son and his job as The Boys' leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it's too late.
