The Boys Season 2 Will Feature A “Compassionate Side” To Bill the Butcher

Listen to this article

Fresh off the news The Boys’ Bill the Butcher is getting a short film to explain his whereabouts, in an interview with the EW, Jack Quaid and Karl Urban revealed new details about Amazon Prime’s upcoming season 2 of The Boys, teasing the team will be doing a lot of unimaginable insane things.

Quid stated:

“We have gone so much further. No one is ready. Really. No one. I have done things this season I will never forget, [things] I’ve never done in my career and probably will not in the future. We just go above and beyond in terms of insane, jockeying moments.”

Urban has also teased viewers will see a different side to Bill the Butcher, who has learned a major secret during the first season’s finale.

“[Season 2] is really about humanizing the character and exploring different dynamics. There’s the monster, the violent psychopath, the killer, but there’s also the more compassionate side, the more humanistic side of Billy… There are really some wonderful, unlikely relationships that are formed,”

Urban added:

“Billy thinks the only good Supe is a dead Supe, and this season is really a season about growth. He’s coming to understand that things aren’t that black and white, there’s a certain shade of grey. He’s coming to understand that there is a benefit that comes with tolerance and being able to see that if he can use an asset, even if it’s a Supe, to achieve his goal, then he’s got to do it.”

In Season 2, The Boys are on the run from the law, hunted by the Supes, and desperately trying to regroup and fight back against Vought. In hiding, Hughie (Jack Quaid), Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso), Frenchie (Tomer Capon), and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) try to adjust to a new normal, with Butcher (Karl Urban) nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Starlight (Erin Moriarty) must navigate her place in The Seven as Homelander (Antony Starr) sets his sights on taking complete control. His power is threatened with the addition of Stormfront (Aya Cash), a social-media-savvy new Supe, who has an agenda of her own. On top of that, the Supervillain threat takes center stage and makes waves as Vought seeks to capitalize on the nation’s paranoia.

Season 2 is scheduled to debut on Friday, September 4th.
