THE Boys creator has revealed he’s ‘extremely worried’ about season three and hints it’ll be even MORE shocking.
The Amazon Prime Video series’ second season ended in a brutal fashion and now show boss Eric Kripke is busy writing season three.
However, the success of the first two seasons means there is a lot of pressure on Eric’s shoulders to come up with even more outrageous plots and bloody action scenes.
Speaking to Consequence Of Sound, Eric admitted he is relishing the task, which in itself is worrying.
He explained: “The thing that has worried me about Season 3 is that it has become really fun and breezy to write again.
“That worries me. It’s feeling enjoyable. I should be in intense, deep introspection for this.”
The Boys is based on the comic books of the same name and follows the eponymous team of vigilantes as they take on superpowered individuals who abuse their abilities.
So far, viewers have seen people have the heads explode, a supe try and spark the rise of white supremacy and someone having their eyes and brain lasered out.
This leaves Eric pondering where to go next, as he said: “I know, obviously, that every season of a television show gets a little bit harder because all of your original best instincts to explore have been explored.
“So, you have to start going to some of the areas that it wouldn’t at first have occurred you to go to in those stories, and those are always a little trickier to make feel as big and as fascinating as the stuff you hit early on. So, it’s challenging.”
The Boys stars Keith Urban as leader of the vigilante group, Billy Butcher, while Antony Starr plays the Superman-esque leader of The Seven, Homelander.
The cast also includes Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty and Chase Crawford.
The Boys season 1 and 2 are available on Amazon Prime Video.
