‘The Boys’ Season 3 Takes The Show To The Next Level, According To Antony Starr

By Danielle Ryan/June 28, 2021 11:48 am EST

Starr gushed in an interview with  TVLine, “Oh, my God, [Season 3] is hands down one of the most enjoyable seasons of TV I’ve had the good fortune of being involved with! I had a great time on Season 2, and I thought we did something really cool there where we took it next-level in many ways from Season 1, and really, it’s just the extension of that.”

Starr is dead-on in describing the jump between the first two seasons. The first season had a lot of world-building to accomplish, but in season 2 the characters and their bad behavior finally got a chance to shine. Few superhero shows would have the guts to end the season with Homelander jerkin’ off atop the Chrysler building, but The Boys went there. With that kind of backdrop for Homelander’s arc this season, it’s no wonder why Starr said it “is my favorite season for many reasons that I can’t tell you about.”

“I’m always curious to see what the writers, what these crazy people, are going to cook up, and it’s a pretty great feeling in Season 3 to still be surprised and excited every time you turn a page in the material,” Starr elaborated. “All I can say is I truly believe the fans are going to freak out at Season 3.”
