New supes, new mysteries, Herogasm, and more.
So, where does the show go from here?
Towards more mayhem, of course.

The last installment of theSeven on 7companion web series made the news official.
The cast
The Boysand The Sevenare back in town.
Among the cast’s newcomers isSupernaturalstarJensen Ackles.
Actors had to quarantine before interacting with the rest of the crew on set.
Three supeshave also been added to season 3 as recurring parts.
Actor Joel Gagne played Gunpowder for that initial seconds-long appearance.
In the source material, she’s a super-short Russian mobster who loves vibrators.
Her death constitutes one of the most shocking moments in the entire comic.
So, there’s more Love Sausage on the horizon.
So enjoy the hot takes and catheter commercials, just like your parents do!"
Kripke confirmed to EW that the superhero team Payback will be a major part of the season 3 story.
In season 3 of the show, Payback fills a different function.
“[Payback] was The Seven before The Seven,” Kripke said.
In other words, they were the world’s first premier superhero team during WWII.
“We will be exploring the history of that team and all the members in it.”
Already we’ve seen how some of these characters have taken on various roles in the show.
She reappeared decades later under the name Stormfront when she became the latest member of The Seven.
Tek Knight was also name-dropped by Ashley when she referred to a Tek Knight movie premiere.
It’s unclear how or if these same characters will be depicted as members of Payback in season 3.
So, already, we can expect a different lineup for Payback than the comics.
The season 3 premiere episode, written by Craig Robertson, takes its name from Payback.
Through Payback and Soldier Boy, season 3 will explore how the world got to this point.
“Certain politicians like to pitch this somehow idyllic ‘good old days’ where everything was perfect and calm.
That is complete and utter bulls—.
It was never that way.
There was never an America when they say ‘Make America Great Again.’
It was always a struggle.
That’s the point.
It’s a struggle to make things better.”
Billy Butcher, the supe?
It’s true: Billy Butcher becomes the thing he hates.
But that doesn’t mean he’s going to become a hero.
“That’s the dilemma: Does Butcher become a superhero or a super villain?”
Urban said in a recentinterview with EW at SXSW.
“for defeat the monster, do you become the monster?
How far are they willing to go?
What line are they willing to cross to make it achieve what they want to achieve?
And not just any supe.
She was the one who killed C.I.A.
So, what the Boys were already doing, just with more government support.
The Boys, meanwhile, have since gone their separate ways since all of their crimes were pardoned.
The Seven is also a much different team.
A-Train was brought back, too, but The Deep is still on the outs.
With Stormfront gone, Vought will likely look to fill some spots.
“[Homelander’s] totally betrayed, insecure, and emasculated,” Starr said.
“He’s been opened up emotionally and burned.”
Heading into season 3, the only words Kripke gave Starr were “homicidal maniac.”
Herogasm
The Boyscultivated a reputation for bringing some pretty extreme stuff to the screen.
But nothing compares to what awaits us in season 3 withHerogasm.
Writer Jessica Chou penned the script for the sixth episode, which will adapt the provocative miniseries from theBoyscomics.
In actuality, they all fly to a remote island for a days-long orgy and drug-fueled party.
The Boys must infiltrate this sex haven on a mission.
“But I think we got it!!
Super excited about that.”
Who will be the newest member of The Seven?
The Seven can never seem to maintain seven members, thanks to the efforts of The Boys.
And who knows if The Deep will ever make his way back into their good graces.
So, that leaves two open spots on the team.
Some of these are recognizable from the comics.
Jetstreak was a member of Teenage Kix.
The Boyspreviously introduced Moonshadow and Livewire throughSeven on 7.
This article will be updated as more information comes to light.
