Amazon announced the Season 2 release date for the popular superhero satire The Boys. They also announced a new release schedule.
The release date was announced during a Season 1 reunion livestream hosted by Season 2 guest star Patton Oswalt.
During the stream show creator and executive producer Eric Kripke stated, “We cannot WAIT to show you season two. It’s crazier, stranger, more intense, more emotional.”
He added, “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.”
Kripke explained, “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.”
Jack Quaid, who plays Hughie, confirmed the release date on Twitter writing, “SEASON 2 PREMIERES SEPT 4TH Y’ALL!!!!”
