Amazon Prime Video has finally premiered the much-anticipated Season 2 of The Boys, and it's every bit as diabolical as Season 1. However, some people are confused why Amazon only released the first three episodes of The Boys Season 2's eight-episode season: "The Big Ride," "Proper Preparation and Planning," and "Over the Hill with the Swords of a Thousand Men" on October 4, leading some viewers to wonder whether there are only three episodes in The Boys Season 2 in total. Luckily, there are still plenty more superhero shenanigans to look forward to in Season 2.
Amazon Prime Video is releasing new episodes of The Boys Season 2 on a weekly basis every Friday until the Season 2 finale, which will air on October 9. This is different from The Boys' Season 1 release schedule, when every episode dropped at once.
IGN recently spoke to showrunner Eric Kripke, who explained why they decided to make the change from Season 1's binge model approach. "I'm aware that people seem to be unhappy that we moved to a staggered rollout," Kripke told IGN. "I get it. I think a lot of people were surprised even though we advertised a lot that we were moving to a weekly format, but clearly we needed to advertise it more and really put a bright neon sign on it. So I think people were disappointed, which was a bummer to see."
Kripke went on to say that the decision to release The Boys Season 2 episodes on a weekly basis is "not a cash grab from Amazon. This was a creative choice from the producers. [Fans] may not like it, but they at least have to respect that the people making the show made this choice on their own. And creatively too, we felt that the best way to absorb the show was to have a little bit of time in between [each episode] to discuss a lot of difficult issues and tricky storylines that are in the show before they immediately burn on to the next one."

It's unclear exactly what time The Boys Season 2 drops a new episode. However, it is likely (at least in Pacific time) that each new adventure will be available to stream at midnight every Friday.
