With The Boys season 2 dropping on Amazon Prime streaming this September, showrunner Eric Kripke recently sat down with Collider to discuss the making of the series. During the interview he went into some detail on the plans for the show’s third season, and when/how they’ll be beginning production.
Perhaps the most significant info for the show’s timeline is the focus on block shooting, which means episodes will be filmed in chunks of two at a time, allowing the production to film multiple scenes if they take place in the same location. Despite this, production will likely go a bit slower than season 2, with the team planning on spending 15 days per episode, as opposed to last seasons 12 days per episode.
The first four episodes’ scripts for season 3 are also already finished, with the writers conducting daily Zoom meetings in order to keep working. For the time being, they plan to have all the scripts finished before the next season hits filming, a date which is currently set for sometime in January 2021. Due to the difficulty in travelling between locations, Kripke revealed that while Jeffrey Dean Morgan was also planned to appear during season 3, he may not be able to because of his prior commitments to The Walking Dead, though options are still being discussed between both parties.
When asked about how the Coronavirus might be affecting the script, Kripke was adamant that he was not compromising the text for any real-world concerns. He explained that the big issues with filming are “sex, fights, and crowds” and that “The Boys is characters having sex and fighting in front of crowds.” Kripke expressed his concern that by cutting back on those elements the show might become “unrecognizable” and that it was his job as a producer was to make sure there were no creative compromises, even if production needs to work around it. The showrunner emphasized his desire for repeated, reliable testing instead, remarking that if the crew can test people every day as they walk in, they could do the show safely. Hopefully the cast and crew will find a way to make the show they want to make, while also managing to keep everyone safe on set.
The Boys season 2 premieres on Amazon streaming September 4.
