The Boys are almost back in town.

On June 3, Amazon Prime Video's subversive superhero series returns for a third season. Inspired by the comics from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys asks the question: What would a world shaped by the societal tensions we live with today look like if there were also real superpowers?

This latest look at Season 3, which comes in the form of a "red band" trailer (i.e. prepare for plenty of blood and gore), hints at the various ways the show will continue to ask that question in the coming next chapter of its story. There's even a moment that looks like a riff on that cringeworthy 2017 Pepsi ad featuring Kendal Jenner.

The Boys returns to Amazon Prime Video on June 3 with Season 3.
