The second season of *The Boys* finds Homelander increasing his authoritarian control of Vought, with reflections of real-world agendas throughout.

## Season Summary

In hiding, Hughie, Mother’s Milk, Frenchie, and Kimiko try to adjust to a new normal, with Butcher nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Starlight must navigate her place in The Seven as Homelander sets his sights on taking complete control. His power is threatened with the addition of Stormfront, a social media-savvy new Supe, who has an agenda of her own. On top of that, the Supervillain threat takes center stage and makes waves as Vought seeks to capitalize on the nation’s paranoia.

* Homelander struggles with the absence of Madelyn Stillwell.
	+ This culminates with Homelander drinking a bottle of Stillwell's milk.
* This season marks the first appearances of Stormfront, Victoria Neuman, Cindy, Lamplighter (poster only on Season One), Love Sausage, Kenji Miyashiro , Eagle the Archer and many more.
* This is the first season to release episodes weekly after releasing its first 3 episodes.
* Additional social commentary at the end includes; the fall of 4 of The Seven (Lamplighter, Deep, Stormfront, and A-Train) as Hughie emerges a humble, heroic anti-hero in the last scene. Starlight points out that Hughie, even without the Vought-type branding, has more integrity, loyalty, compassion, unconditional love, perseverance- hero-like character traits- than any of the Seven. Often the everyday person is the hero - just as Homelander says to the crowds, “You’re the real heroes!”
