That means they're fugitives from the law, and they'll be threatened at every turn. Watch The Boys season 2 trailer below.

The dark comedy and extreme violence of The Boys is on full display here. Heads are smashed into walls in gory fashion, Billy Butcher climbs out of the carcass of an animal, and Homelander (Antony Starr) even throws a kid off a roof.
