Now as well an animated spinoff,The Boysseason 3 is coming soon, and showrunnerEric Kripkehas been teasing fans on Twitter with an update on where post-production is on the new season and when a trailer is likely to arrive.

The first two seasons ofThe Boysrecreated some of the most bloody, violent, and insane scenes that have ever been seen on-screen directly from their comic book source. While the third season’s storyline is mostly under wraps, there has been plenty to suggest that whatever happened in the first two seasons is going to be like an appetizer for the crazy scenes that are going to go down in new episodes.
As well as series regulars such as Antony Starr’s Homelander, Dominique McElligott’s Queen Maeve, and Jessie T. Usher’s A-Train, the new season willsee the arrival ofSupernaturalstar Jensen Ackles in the role of Soldier Boy, an addition to the franchise who has been getting a lot of attention, with the character’s inclusion in the show having been rumored for some time before it was officially confirmed.
The new season ofThe Boyswill make its debut on June 3rd, and although it has not been confirmed the series is expected to follow the second season in releasing episodes on a weekly basis rather than all in one go. With the final bits of post-production seemingly coming to an end and a trailer only a matter of weeks away, the hype for the return ofThe Boysis only going to grow as we approach its June premiere date.
