“The Boys” Season 3 teaser trailer dropped Saturday, revealing an almost-two minute look at the upcoming season of the Amazon Prime Video series filled with lasers, blood, guts, glory and, apparently, dancing.
In the video, which you can view below, Butcher (Karl Urban) is struggling with a mysterious case of glowing, light-beam-shooting eyeballs, while Homelander (Antony Starr) is unsuccessfully attempting to curb his rage, Hughie (Jack Quaid) is having a mental breakdown in his new supe-regulation government job, Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy has awoken, Annie a.k.a. Starlight (Erin Moriarty) is crying, and there’s something that has caused Frenchie (Tomer Capone) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) to break out into an apparent big musical number, complete with backup dancers.

“The Boys” Season 2 finale, which dropped in October 2020, saw Butcher’s long-lost wife Becca (Shantel VanSanten) accidentally killed in front of him by Ryan, her superhero-son-via-rape by Homelander, while the young boy was trying to protect his mother from Nazi supe Stormfront (Aya Cash). “The Boys” Season 3 trailer implies major steps will be taken by both Homelander and Butcher — who has hidden Ryan away from Homelander to keep him away from the boy following Becca’s death — to get the revenge they each believe they deserve on the other.
The Season 3 teaser, which launched out of “The Boys” panel at South by Southwest (SXSW), is set to Imagine Dragons’ new song “Bones.”
