Warning: SPOILERS for The Boys season 3 episode 1-3
The Boys season 3 packs plenty of Easter eggs, references, and hidden details into the first three episodes. It has been nearly two years since The Boys season 2 ended on Prime Video, but the adventures of Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and Hughie Campbell (Jack Quaid) are finally continuing. The hit superhero series in many ways has succeeded because of how it makes fun of the superhero obsession in pop culture and avoids being too similar to what Marvel and DC are doing with their live-action movies and TV shows.
Following the revelation that Stormfront (Aya Cash) is a Nazi, The Boys season 3 picks up a year after season 2 as Vought and The Seven are doing everything they can to turn their reputation around. Hughie finds himself in a new position of power after joining the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs and working with Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit), a secret head-popping Supe. And while Billy and the team now have to answer to Hughie and attempt to take down Supes the «right way,» they quickly realize that this is not the best path. Their movement to find a weapon capable of killing Homelander (Antony Starr) comes as the powerful Supe becomes even more unhinged, especially after Starlight (Erin Moriarty) becomes co-captain of The Seven.
