The Boys Season 2 Gets September Premiere Date
Let’s hear it for The Boys… which finally has some big news to announce, including the long-awaited season 2 premiere date on Amazon Prime Video.
Back in March, the cast and crew — including Karl Urban, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, and Jack Quaid — would’ve assembled to unveil a few things at PaleyFest in Los Angeles, but certain world events transpired and the panel was canceled. Now, Amazon is ready to reveal that season 2 will premiere Sept. 4 in a slightly different format.
While all eight episodes of season 1 launched at once in July 2019, season 2 will only drop the first three episodes on Sept. 4 before launching into a weekly schedule with new episodes dropping every Friday through Oct. 9. Perhaps this change is due to the show’s popularity, which only really grew in the weeks following its release. It ended up becoming one of the most successful launches for an Amazon Original Series.
The news comes out of a virtual panel with showrunner Eric Kripke (Supernatural) and his cast. Patton Oswalt, who has a secret role in season 2, moderated the event, which included footage of the premiere episode’s opening moments. Watch the full panel below and skip to the 47:35 mark to watch the first three minutes of the new season.
