The trailer for The Boys Season 3 doesn’t give a lot away about the plot, but it does confirm we can expect more of the same themes from the upcoming season: violence, steamy scenes, and superpowers.

Something new - and surprising – is Billy Butcher, now back with apparent powers if his eyes are anything to go by.

Billy ended the season staying true to his promise to his late wife to protect her son and was then offered a job taking down ‘supes’ more officially.

He’s seen in the trailer with glowing eyes and super strength, reminiscent of Homelander's own powers; did he take on powers to be on a more level footing with his enemies?

Another key development from the end of Season 2 that we can expect to see make a return in Season 3 is the reveal that Neuman was the supe exploding people’s heads, despite her role as Chief of Staff.

Where her abilities came from and what her motivations are remain to be seen, but she's likely to be the next Big Bad of the explosive TV show.

We’ll have to wait and see in the upcoming season of The Boys – here’s when it will come out and how to watch Season 3.
