The Boys S02e01 Satrip Jun 2026

With Translucent dead and Madelyn Stillwell gone, Vought International undergoes a corporate facelift.

The premiere wastes no time setting the stakes. After the jaw-dropping cliffhanger of Season 1, the boys are underground. Hughie, Mother’s Milk, Frenchie, and Kimiko are hiding in a basement, dealing with the fallout of being labeled domestic terrorists.
