Is the Boys Season 3 releasing weekly?

Things are looking a bit different this season, but it’s clear something is about to go terribly wrong. Homelander is on the superhero equivalent of an apology tour as he tries to clean up his PR nightmare by excusing what happened last season as “love gone wrong.” He’s also on the verge of a mental breakdown which is not a good sign to put it lightly.

Elsewhere, Butcher’s been drawing within the lines and not stretching too far past what his government leash will allow. Obviously, that can’t last long. Not only is it untenable, but his way of doing things is about to become necessary in a high pressure situation. But, when he decides to level the playing field by taking a drug that’ll give him powers for 24 hours, it could spell disaster for everyone else.

And, adding a new element to the story is Jensen Ackles, who plays Soldier Boy. He’s a legend considering he’s the first Supe. He’s also just as violent as everyone else given the trailer below, and his storyline is likely to take the show in some interesting directions.

The first three episodes of The Boys season 3 dropped on June 3. Here’s when you can expect new episodes to release and when the finale will be.

The Boys season 3 release schedule

The Boys season 3 will have a total of eight episodes. With three released on its premiere day, that leaves five more episodes until we say goodbye to the third season. Viewers can expect a weekly release on Fridays until the finale on July 8.

After a long wait, The Boys is coming back to us with its much-awaited Season 3 on Amazon Prime Video. The new season will level the field by giving Butcher some incredible superpowers, and now, every fan is eager to see the antihero going against Homelander in the upcoming season. Well, if you're also waiting for the new episodes to drop on Prime Video, here's everything you need to know about the show's release time.

Season 2 of The Boys didn't end well for the Vought International or "The Seven." The entire world already knew that the conglomerate Vought created superheroes with Compound V. Now, people are also aware of the fact that the company's founder was Frederick Vought, a former Nazi party member. On top of that, Stormfront, the beloved girlfriend of Homelander, was, in fact, Frederick's wife.

Homelander lost everything in the previous season, and he couldn't even kill Butcher because of Queen Maeve's intervention. There's only one thing that is stopping Homelander from going berserk, his fake "World's greatest superhero" image in front of the American people. In Season 3's official trailer, we can see Homelander trying to come clean by saying that he "fell for the wrong woman." However, we all know that things won't be that easy for Homelander, especially with Butcher trying to kill him.

What's the Episode Count of The Boys Season 3?

Each season of The Boys gave us eight episodes, and the third season isn't any different. Prime Video confirmed that Season 3 of the superhero television series would feature a similar number of episodes.

The first three episodes will drop on the premiere day, and then the show will go back to its weekly release schedule for the remaining five chapters. The season will conclude with its eighth and final episode on July 8th, 2022.

The boys are back in town. Amazon released the first look at The Boys season 3 in March 2022, and it might leave fans with more questions than answers.

Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) looks into the mirror with glowing eyes and later seems to shoot rays of heat out of his face. For a guy whose life mission has been to kill the superheroes, that’s pretty disconcerting.

The Amazon Prime Video series follows problematic superheroes — who are essentially influencers with superhuman abilities to kill lots of people. The Boys, a group of vigilantes, work to expose superhero group The Seven and their parent corporation, Vought, as the evil war lords they are.

At the end of season 2, The Boys seemed to get a win. Homelander (Anthony Starr) was overruled by Maeve (Dominique McElligott) and Starlight (Erin Moriarty), who took over The Seven. Stormfront (Aya Cash), a superpowered Nazi, was not killed but certainly put out of commission in a gory final battle. Hughie (Jack Quaid) even found a real job for an anti-supe politician.

However, not all was well. Billy was last left grieving the death of his wife, Becca (Shantel VanSanten), so it isn’t at all clear how he suddenly has powers in the new trailer. Some brief scenes in the trailer make it seem like his power aren’t just related to heat vision. The grieving widower might even have some super strength — but that won’t be the biggest shock of the summer premiere.

“I promise you have never seen anything like it in the history of cinema,” Urban said during Saturday’s SXSW panel in Austin, Texas via The Hollywood Reporter. “We went bigger this season. It’s a fun intense roller coaster ride.”

Meanwhile, Hughie is working his new job for politician Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit), but it turns out she isn’t just trying to legislate supes to protect Americans. She has the ability to make people explode from the inside out, and the gross blood splatters around Hughie in the season 3 teaser signal that he’ll figure out her little secret.

Showrunner Eric Kripke teased at the end of season 2 that Victoria won’t be an exact adaptation of the character from The Boys comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, who also serve as executive producers.

“There is a corrupt politician in the books named Vic Neuman. And through him, they kind of dig into some of the seedier sides of politics,” Kripke, 47, told Collider in October 2020. “And although we have a very different character, I think we’re signaling that we also have a corrupt politician who is going to lead us into some of the seedier sides of politics as the show proceeds.”

In addition to the returning characters, fans will also meet Soldier Boy, The Boys take on a Captain America-like figure. Jensen Ackles — who starred in Kripke’s hit show Supernatural for 15 seasons — gets quite a bit of screen time as the World War II veteran in the March trailer.

One scene shows the new character getting punched by a WWII soldier in an apparent flashback. He smirks through his mask, which is complete with a patriotic star and eagle as he gears up for the fight. At the end of the teaser, however, Ackles’ character rips off wrist restraints and an oxygen mask. His long hair and beard make it look like he’s been out of commission for a while — so why is he back now?
