THE BOYS Actor Laz Alonso Teases Season 3 is Going To Be The Darkest and Bloodiest
One thing that fans have come to learn from the creative team of The Boys is they don’t do anything half-ass, and they don’t hold back on the over-the-top insanity of the story. The first couple of seasons have been awesome and if you think you’ve already seen a lot of blood in the show… think again.
Season 3 is currently in production and according to star Laz Alonso, they are "between one-fourth of the way through and halfway through" shooting the new season. He also shares that the series is "getting darker and darker" with every season. One of the big additions to the new season is Jensen Ackles’ character Soldier Boy, who was the first celebrity superhero and fought in World War II.
Alonso says this character "allowed [Kripke] to not only bring in a character historically who's pretty dark, but it also makes all of the other ensemble Supes darker as well." He then went on to talk about taking the blood and violence to the next level in Season 3, saying:
"I'll put it to you this way. I was talking to the head makeup artist and she's in charge of ordering the blood — that's one of her many jobs. She told me that all of Season 2... When you talk about bulk, I don't think they used over a gallon of blood in Season 2, believe it or not. Season 3, we're already at three and a half gallons of blood. So that should give you a little indication of where it's going."
Well, shit! This is the kind of talk that will get fans of the series even more excited for Season 3!
