The Boys Season 2 Release Date Confirmed | Game Rant
Having an Amazon Prime subscription offers a lot of benefits, including free shipping, Twitch rewards, and access to Amazon Prime Video, a streaming service with original content like Hanna, which will release its second season soon. Another popular Amazon Prime show coming back for its second season is The Boys, and today it was confirmed that new episodes will premiere on September 4 — albeit in a different release schedule.
Amazon's The Boys, based on a comic series from the mid-2000s by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, follows a group of vigilantes led by Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) who fight injustice in a world where Superheroes are celebrities and the basis of a capitalist conglomerate. It's a dark critique of the superhero genre and politics with both gruesome violence and comedy that clearly struck a cord with audiences last year and became a hit.
This popularity is evident in the new release schedule for Season 2, revealed alongside its release date during "The Boys F**kin' Reunited" livestream today. Whereas the first season was dropped all at once, only the first three episodes of Season 2 will be available day one, and the rest will be available on a traditional weekly basis.
While some are bound to be upset that the full season will not be available all at once, there are positives to drawing out the hype over a longer period. It's a strategy that has worked for other streaming shows like Disney+'s The Mandalorian, even if Netflix set the standard for single-sitting binge television.
The Boys Season 2 will premiere September 4 on Amazon Prime.
