‘The Boys‘ Season 3 trailer was released on Saturday and provided a good two-minute sneak peek into what promises to be an explosive season for the critically-acclaimed, Emmy-nominated show.

In the trailer, Butcher (played by Karl Urban) can be seen struggling with mysterious new superpowers, namely, glowing yellow eyes and laser vision, while his nemesis, the ever-menacing Homelander (played by Antony Starr) is seen making futile attempts to curb his violent rage.

Season 3 of ‘The Boys’ is scheduled to be released on Amazon Prime on June 3 of this year.

While the season premiere and two other episodes will be released on June 3 itself, the rest of the episodes will be released one at a time each Friday, culminating in the explosive season finale on July 8.

Based on The New York Times best-selling comic of the same name by Garth Ennis, the television adaptation of ‘The Boys’ is tinged with a sardonic sense of humour and is a spectacle full of blood, guts, and glory.

Season 1 of the show was released on July 26, 2019 and received good reviews in general, with a score of 80% on Rotten Tomatoes. Season 2, which was released a year later on September 4, 2020, however, reached new heights with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 97%. If the new trailer is an indication of what’s to come, then one can expect a stellar third season.
