The third season of the American satirical superhero television series The Boys, the first series in the franchise based on the comic book series of the same name written by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, was developed for television by American writer and television producer Eric Kripke. The season is produced by Sony Pictures Television in association with Point Grey Pictures, Original Film, Kripke Enterprises, Kickstart Entertainment and KFL Nightsky Productions.

The show's third season stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, Colby Minifie, and Claudia Doumit returning from prior seasons, with Jensen Ackles joining the cast. Taking place a year after the events of the previous season, the season follows the titular Boys now working for Victoria Neuman (Doumit)'s Bureau of Superhero Affairs to apprehend problematic Supes, having been at peace with the Seven. However, the conflict is resurrected once Butcher (Urban), Hughie (Quaid) & the rest of the Boys reunite to investigate the truth about the apparent death of Soldier Boy (Ackles), one of Vought's first American superheroes, with the hopes of killing Homelander (Starr) for good. Concurrently, Homelander's mental stability begins to deteriorate as Vought attempts to restrict his power while other Seven members, such as Annie January / Starlight (Moriarty) and Queen Maeve (McElligott), assist the Boys in their plots against him.

The season premiered on the streaming service Amazon Prime Video on June 3, 2022, with its first three episodes. The remaining five episodes were released weekly until July 8, 2022. The season received positive reviews with praise towards its action sequences, social commentary, visual effects, character development, story, and performances (particularly Urban, Starr, Alonso, and Ackles).[1][2][3] It received multiple nominations including two Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, earning one for stunt coordination. On June 10, 2022, the series was renewed for a fourth season.[4]
