Prime Video’s hit series The Boys returns for a third season on June 3.
Prime Video unveiled a new red band teaser for the third season of its hit series, The Boys , during a SXSW panel on Saturday. The show is based on the comic book series of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. There are a couple of new faces among the cast, plus a scene in the teaser that definitely takes place in THAT infamous storyline from the comic book series.

The Boys is set within a fictional universe where superheroes are real but are corrupted by corporate interests and a toxic celebrity-obsessed culture. The most elite superhero group is called the Seven, operated by the Vought Corporation, which created the supes with a substance called Compound V. The Seven is headed up by Homelander (Antony Starr inside a career-making performance), a violent and unstable psychopath disguised as the All-American hero.
