The Boys is an
American superhero web television series based on the comic book of the same
name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. Developed by Eric Kripke for Amazon,
it follows the eponymous team of vigilantes as they fight back against
superpowered individuals who abuse their abilities.
The series premiered
on July 26, 2019. Ahead of the premiere, Amazon renewed The Boys for a second
season, which is set to premiere on September 4, 2020
The Boys is set in a
universe where superpowered individuals are recognized as heroes by the general
public and owned by powerful corporation Vought International, which markets
and monetizes them. Outside of their heroic personas, most are arrogant and corrupt.
The series primarily focuses on two groups: the Seven, Vought International's
premier superhero team, and the titular Boys, vigilantes looking to keep the
corrupted heroes under control.
The Boys are led by
Billy Butcher, who despises all superpowered people, and the Seven are led by
the egotistical and unstable Homelander. As a conflict ensues between the two
groups, the series also follows the new members of each team: Hughie Campbell of
the Boys, who joins the vigilantes after his girlfriend is killed by one of the
Seven; and Annie January / Starlight of the Seven, a young and hopeful heroine
forced to face the truth about the heroes she admires.
