How to watch The Boys season 2 online from anywhere

When the Amazon Original The Boys released last year, it captivated viewers by showing them a dark and gritty world where superheroes had corporate sponsorship and acted more like The Watchmen than Disney's family friendly Avengers. Season 2 of the show is slated for release on Friday, September 4 and we have all the details on how you can watch all eight episodes in the new season online.

Before becoming a TV show, The Boys was originally a comic book series written by Garth Ennis and co-created, designed and illustrated by Darick Robertson. The comic book series, which consists of 72 issues, first released in October of 2006 and ran until November of 2012.

If you haven't watched the first season yet, The Boys is set in a universe where people with superpowers are recognized and revered as heroes by the general public. However, while the Avengers and other popular superhero teams work for free, the show's superheroes are owned by the Vought International corporation which markets and monetizes them.

In season 1 of the show, we were introduced to Vought's group of top tier superheroes known as The Seven who use their power and influence to gain fame and glory as opposed to protecting ordinary citizens from harm. The group consists of The Deep, Queen Maaeve, Starlight, Stormfront, A-Train, Black Noir and Homelander, their leader. In the other corner, we have The Boys who are led by Billy Butcher and his group of superpowered vigilantes wants to take down The Seven and Vought International.

In the first episode of last season, The Seven's A-Train runs through Robin, the girlfriend of audio video repair shop employee Hughie Campbell, eviscerating and killing her on impact. While Vought and The Seven try to buy Hughie's silence, he ends up getting recruited by anti-superhero vigilante Billy Butcher and becomes a member of The Boys. Together the group works to get justice for Hughie's girlfriend and bring down The Seven.
