If over the top action sequences, legendary superheroes and WTF moments sound like your type of viewing, then check out the trailer and cancel any plans you had tonight!

The moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived…The Boys are here. And they’re back with a vengeance. Dark, irreverent, and downright depraved, The Boys is far from your stereotypical superhero show. Why use your superpowers for good, when you can abuse them and get what you really want, right?

The story of a group of vigilantes (Billy Butcher and his crew) out to combat the immoral antics of a bunch of so-called superheroes (The Seven), this is one twisted action series you won’t want to miss. Add Vought (the evil hero management company) and a few loose cannons like Homelander into the mix and you’ve got the ultimate night in for all your superhero fans, comic culture fiends, and explorers of the dark side.

Since The Seven were revealed to be as badass as their supervillain adversaries (Season 1), and a new hero, Stormfront, challenged the already unhinged Homelander (Season 2), things have been a little quiet in New York City. But as they say, it’s a city that never sleeps, and things are certainly heating up in the Big Apple! Here’s a sneak peek of what’s in store for The Boys in Season 3:

This time round, the stakes get higher, the characters get deeper, and the crazy gets, well, a whole lot crazier. Homelander, once one of the greatest superheroes alive, finally snaps, and the malignant, narcissistic sociopath that has always bubbled beneath the surface is finally unleashed, lock, stock and barrel. But hey, that’s just yin and yang, right?

Through Homelander’s story, and within the microcosm of the multi-billion-dollar conglomerative Vought, we witness not just the rise of a psychotic dictator, but the horror of a people in danger of sliding – full throttle – from freedom to fascism. And it happens a whole lot quicker, and way more easily, than you could possibly imagine. As the violent Homelander claws his way to the top, Butcher and The Boys have to find a way to stop him. And they have to find it fast. It’s Homelander versus The Boys, bigtime, and we can tell you now, it’s far from pretty.

So how can the power-hungry Homelander be defeated? Going to extraordinary lengths to chase the legend of the first superhero, Soldier Boy, seems like a reasonable place for The Boys to start. Vought’s most legendary ‘Supe’, Soldier Boy helped put the company and superheroes firmly on the map, but to this day, his untimely death remains a burning mystery. Could the truth behind what really killed Soldier Boy be the solution to stopping Homelander? It’s hard to say – but The Boys reckon there’s only one way to find out. It’s not a journey for the fainthearted though. It’s a terrifying quest that takes Butcher and his crew through 50-plus years of Vought history, a history dripping in deceit, dishonour and the most dastardly of deeds. So buckle up those seatbelts and hold on tight. The Boys Season 3 is one hell of a ride.
