As if there was any doubt. One of the biggest new shows in recent years, The Boys, has been renewed for a third season on Amazon Prime Video, as revealed during The Boys Comic-Con 2020 panel – and that’s despite The Boys season 2 not airing until September.
Seth Rogen, who acts as a producer on the show, was the one to make the announcement, making a surprise appearance. “If you like The Boys, you’ve got more of it... thank god,” the comedy actor joked. "When can we film? Who knows. Hopefully sometime this decade."
“Amazon, in a bold and historic push to expand their ‘weirdo’ demographic, has greenlit Season 3 of The Boys!” showrunner Eric Kripke revealed in a press release.

With the world as it is (and shooting for the prior two seasons taking place a year before airing in 2018 and 2019 respectively), it’s not a stretch to suggest we should expect a slightly longer wait for season 3.
No word yet on what exactly season 3 will entail – though the completely NSFW Herogasm may yet feature – but there’s an added bonus for fans of The Boys: a new aftershow hosted by Aisha Tyler.
Titled Prime Rewind: Inside The Boys, the first episode will be released on Amazon Prime Video on August 28 and will feature a look back at the first season. From then on, it’ll air after each season 2 episode and according to Kripke it’s “a deep dive into how we make this insane thing.”
