Wondering when "The Boys" Season 3 will be available on Amazon Prime Video? Fans are eager to see more of this dark superhero drama, but it will have to wait Creator Eric Kripki gave a big hint as to when "The Boys" Season 3 will be available

"The Boys" premiered in the summer of 2019, and the hype surrounding the series has only grown over time A spin-off series is even in the works And with the show's second season featuring Karl Urban (as Billy Butcher), Erin Moriarty (as Starlight), and Jack Quaid (as Huey Campbell) just concluded, fans want to know what to expect from the next season of "The Boys"!

and "The Boys" is set to premiere in the fall

And yes, to answer your question: season 3 of The Boys was confirmed when the show's renewal was announced at the Comic-Con: At Home panel over the summer [Showrunner Eric Kripke said in a press release, "Amazon has greenlit Season 3 of 'The Boys' in a bold and historic effort to expand its 'weirdo' demographic The writers and I are hard at work in the (virtual) writers' room, but sadly, the world has given us too much material"

Kripki elaborated on the release date and filming schedule for "The Boys" Season 3 in an October 14 tweet

So the good news is that the first episode of season 3 has already been written and even titled by Craig Rosenberg: "Payback"

The bad news, however, is that filming will not begin until early 2021; IATSE (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, Its Territories and Canada) website, production has been allowed to resume for Season 3 of The Boys This would mean that safety protocols have been established for the cast and crew to return to work It appears that they have been given permission to begin as early as February

Season 1 took four months to film and season 2 took five months Season 3 will likely take more than six months, as the COVID-19 pandemic will make production more complicated

Post-production of "Boys" could take several months due to the heavy emphasis on visual effects The first two seasons premiered 10 months after filming ended

Thus, if filming for Season 3 of "The Boys" ends in August 2021, fans may not see the episodes until May or June 2022

I don't want to spoil the just-aired finale, but depending on what happens, anyone currently in the cast of "The Boys" could be suddenly displaced by a tragic death or a storyline that simply gets them kicked off the show

However, Antony Starr as John/Homelander, Dominique McElligott as Maggie Shaw/Queen Maeve, Jesse T Usher as Reggie Franklin/Train, Tomer Capon as Serge/Frenchie, and Kimiko Miyashiro/Karen Meth It is safe to assume that Urban, Moriarty, and Quaid will return, along with key cast members such as Fukuhara

There will also be at least one new face when "The Boys" Season 3 premieres: Jensen Ackles of "Supernatural" fame will appear as Soldier Boy He has been mentioned on the show in the past and is described as the "original superhero" Fans will have to wait and see how he appears and whether he will play a really big role in the next season of the Amazon series

The second season of the Amazon Prime Video series will end with the release of the finale episode on October 9, so fans are not certain what to expect in the upcoming season No one knows which characters will appear, and whether Kripki and the show's writers will throw a curveball in later episodes that will completely change the course of the series

Of course, the show is based on the comic book series of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, from which fans may get hints of future plot points and characters However, the Amazon series is clearly a footnote and could go in any direction

For the most part, "The Boys" Season 2 has been well received There is no reason to believe that the show's production team will not continue to give fans the show they love through a third season

What if someone is offering a trailer for "The Boys" Season 3 Don't trust that link; it's as sketchy as A-Train's Compound V stash Anything on YouTube purporting to be a trailer for the new season is probably nothing more than a fan-made clip
