Following a fun-filled virtual Q&A session with the cast, Amazon Prime Video has officially announced that their critically acclaimed superhero satire, The Boys, will return for its eight-episode second season on September 4.

However, unlike the first season, the new batch of episodes will be released on a weekly basis rather than all at once. The first three episodes will drop on that aforementioned September premiere date, with subsequent installments releasing every Friday through October 9.

The season's official synopsis reads, "The even more intense, more insane season two 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 (Jack Quaid), Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso), Frenchie (Tomer Capon) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) try to adjust to a new normal, with Butcher (Karl Urban) nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Starlight (Erin Moriarty) must navigate her place in The Seven as Homelander (Antony Starr) sets his sights on taking complete control. His power is threatened with the addition of Stormfront (Aya Cash), 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."

Following the announcement, executive producer Eric Kripke (Supernatural; Timeless) shared the following statement to express his excitement and offer some reasoning behind why they decide to change up the release schedule. 

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. 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.

**No, he didn’t."

During their nearly hour-long streaming event, Amazon also revealed new footage from the upcoming season, which you can enjoy for yourself in the video below:

When I first saw the teaser clip they posted on Twitter being shown as a BTS I really thought it was a genuine RL BTS of they shooting Season 2. Then I realized they were all in character.

You could tell Homelander was in "conceal don't feel" mode the more he found out who sent Stormfront and whose regards she was carrying.

So the Boys will be backed against the wall without Butcher, wonder who will step up to be in charge.

I wonder if Stormfront will be a friend or foe or just her own person in The Seven. Her mysterious agenda could be compromised or change with whatever happens with others like Maeve, Starlight or the mysterious one clad in black who is still the most secluded one.

Really enjoyed this show. So glad we are at a saturation point with superheroes where the unconventional stuff can finally see live-action.

I’m glad that it’s not all being dumped at once. I never have it in me to stream an entire season in a weekend, and so I’m never able to discuss the show online when everyone else is.

I'm not a fan of weekly episodes, for streaming sites. I understand some do it, that way, but being able to watch as many as I want in one sitting I prefer.

Even if all the episodes come out at once, it doesn't mean you have to watch them that day.

So that just isn't the news I wanted to hear and hopefully it will only be for this season of The Boy. Then for season three when the world isn't dealing with the Coronavirus Amazon can just dump them all at once instead.

Makes sens. But I still prefer it if they dropped it at once

I guess I'm in the minority but I like the weekly thing. Then again my old ass grew up without the world in the palm of my hand and instant gratification was a pipe dream.
