The Boys Season 2 : Filming for season two of The Boys is all wrapped up, with new episodes
Star of the show Karl Urban toasted the occasion with an Instagram selfie, giving thanks to the ‘awesome’ crew and cast members as well as new info on when we can expect the return of the group of literal anti-heroes.
To the joy of fans, 47-year-old Urban revealed filming had wrapped, promising viewers The Boys would be ‘On yer telle Mid 2020’.
Urban stars as the embittered leader of the group Billy Butcher, a man driven to take a stand against corrupted superheroes who use their powers to selfish – and often diabolical – ends.
Urban will be reprising his role in The Boys alongside co-stars Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Antony Starr, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher and Laz Alonso.
As the old Spider-Man saying, passed from Uncle Ben to a young Peter Parker, goes: ‘With great power comes great responsibility.’ And this warning is effectively explored in The Boys, a show which currently enjoys a 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Speaking with Collider in August, co-creator Seth Rogen revealed he had already seen the premiere, saying:
They already have more resources for the second season. They’re adding more characters, the scope of the show organically grows as the show continues.We just watched, actually, the first episode of the second season this week. It was a wonderful thing as producers. This is way better than I ever could’ve hoped it would be.
Fellow co-creator Evan Goldberg added season two will be ‘definitely better than the first season,’ noting, ‘immediately, it just looks a bit better, feels bigger, the actors all know what they’re doing’.
As of yet, there is no official release date for The Boys, so for now we will just have to make do with Urban’s tantalising hint of a summer return. Looks like the boys are firmly back in town!
