The Season 2 finale of The Boys just aired last week, but don’t worry - showrunner Eric Kripke just confirmed they’ll be back before you know it. Kripke shared an image of the title page to the Season 3 premiere episode, titled “Payback,” on his Twitter page with the simple yet elegant caption “You’re Not Fucking Ready.” https://twitter.com/therealKripke/status/1316423642125725696 In addition to teasing the episode’s title, Kripke also revealed that Season 3 is set to start filming in early 2021, which would put it on track to release in the same late summer / …
Season 2 of Amazon’s darkly comedic superhero drama The Boys is premiering this weekend, once again pitting the titular group of ragtag anti-heroes against deranged superheroes and their corporate overlords. Chief among the “Supes” is Homelander (Antony Starr), a sadistic Superman analog who would just as soon murder a plane full of innocent people than actually save them. Collider recently got to speak with producer Eric Kripke about the show, and specifically asked whether or not Homelander can be killed, and if he even has any weaknesses at all. “That’s been an ongoing discussion in the writers …
With Amazon’s fantastic series The Boys returning with new episodes on September 4th, I recently landed an exclusive interview with showrunner Eric Kripke to talk about the making of the series. Since we recently spoke about the making of the imminent Season 2 in an extended conversation (which you can watch here), I decided to use this interview to ask about the newly announced Season 3. Some of the information he revealed is: They plan to start shooting The Boys Season 3 this January. They currently have the first four scripts of Season 3 done and the writers conduct …
One of my favorite shows of 2019 was Amazon’s The Boys. Based on the comic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, the series takes place in a world just like ours except superheroes are real. However, while TV shows and movies portray superheroes as either good or bad, in the world of The Boys, most of them are tragically flawed and often anything but heroic. Trust me, you have never seen a show like The Boys and you’ll be constantly picking your jaw off the floor while watching the eight-episode first season. The series' excellent …
If you haven’t seen The Boys, stop what you’re doing immediately and go binge the entire first season on Amazon Prime. The show, about a team of more-or-less average guys policing superheroes who abuse their power, was easily one of the best new series to come out last year. With Season 2 premiering this September, Collider recently got to speak with showrunner Eric Kripke about the series, and specifically about whether or not The Walking Dead’s Jeffrey Dean Morgan might be joining the cast in the future. Some context - Morgan publicly lobbied for a role …
The Boys is, by far, one of the best new shows of 2019. It's razor-sharp. It's timely. Karl Urban kills a room full of thugs using a superpowered baby. It pretty much checks all the boxes, and if there's one complaint I had it's that the first eight-episode season ended too abruptly. But fear not, concerned citizens: Eric Kripke, who brought the series to life with Seth Rogen and Evan Golberg, announced that season 2 has officially wrapped filming. We're still a ways away from the new episodes hitting Amazon, but Kripke did …
From showrunner Eric Kripke and based on the best-selling comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, the eight-episode Amazon Prime Video original series The Boys is an irreverent look at what happens when the popular and influential superheroes abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good, and often need someone to cover up all of their dirty deeds and secrets for them. But when Hughie (Jack Quaid) suffers a devastating loss as a result of one Supe’s recklessness, he becomes so outraged that he teams up with Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and The Boys, in order …
In an interview with Screen Rant, Eric Kripke discusses bringing Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s irreverent The Boys to Amazon Prime Video.
