During The Boys' panel at Comic-Con@Home, showrunner Eric Kripke spoke Boys Season 2 and its commentary on real-world issues.
The Boys executive producer Eric Kripke -- as well as several of the show's stars -- took part in Comic-Con@Home, where he discussed the topical issues that Season 2 would tackle.
"I can say we're going after white supremacy in Season 2," Kripke said. "We're going after white nationalism in Season 2. We're going after systemic racism in Season 2. And all of those things really fucking suck." He went on to discuss how strong characters are priority number one with
The Boys, but the team tries to include commentary pertaining to the real world as well.
Based on the comic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, Amazon Prime Video's
The Boys released its first season in 2019, with Season 2 set to premiere this September. Season 2 will be made of eight episodes, with the finale scheduled to arrive on Oct. 9, 2020. Additionally, the series has already been renewed for a
third season, though an official release date hasn't been revealed.
Meanwhile, many big things are set to occur in Season 2 of
The Boys, including the introduction of several new characters and Billy Buther's return. Season 2 will also go deeper into the revelation of Season 1's finale, in which Billy Butcher's wife was revealed to be alive and living with Homelander's child.
I don't watch this show for obvious reasons, if they're actually any black people that do watch it how are these white writers dealing with white supremacy and systemic racism?
