One of the more satisfying things about Amazon’sThe Boys—a stellar, twisted superhero series that featuresKarl Urbanmurdering a man with a superpowered baby, among other on-screen atrocities–is that you could enjoy the first eight episodes knowing a season 2 wasalready in the bag. We already knewAya Cashisjoining the mayhem, there’s going to bemore gore, and that things are gonna’get mighty messy. But now, according to co-creatorsSeth RogenandEvan Goldberg, it sounds likeThe Boysseason 2 is going to getbiggeras well as bloodier.
While speaking to Rogen and Goldberg forGood Boys, Collider’s Steve Weintraub asked the duo what to expect fromThe Boysseason 2. Apparently, the filmmakers have already seen the premiere. Said Rogen:
“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."
Goldberg noted that season 2 is “definitely better than the first season,” saying that “immediately, it just looks a bit better, feels bigger, the actors all know what they’re doing.”
The performances in season 1 are the type of dead-on knockouts that you can’t imagine anyone else wearing those spandex costumes, but Rogen also made a good point about the cast returning with a better sense ofThe Boys' wild tone.
“With a show likeThe Boys, especially, where the tone is so unique, for the actors to be able to watch the show and to see like, ‘Oh, that’s what it is.’ It allows them to come back completely locked into it.”
