In the meantime, the first image from the second season of The Boys arrived back in August 2019 in the form of this crimson-soaked, bird-flipping set photo, courtesy of showrunner Eric Kripke, who’s seen in the center among cast members Tomer Capon, Karen Fukuhara, Jack Quaid, and Laz Alonso.

The latest trailer for The Boys season 2 dials up the violence to 11…even as it enjoys a good Billy Joel tune.
The Boys Season 2 Cast
Patton Oswalt is joining The Boys Season 2 cast for a “secret role,” as confirmed by a tweet from showrunner Eric Kripke. Oswalt, the veteran comedian and narrator for ABC’s The Goldbergs, is coming off TV runs on Hulu’s revived Veronica Mars and Netflix’s revived Mystery Science Theater 3000, along with recently-cancelled offerings in NBC’s A.P. Bio and a co-starring voice role as the titular imaginary friend unicorn on Syfy’s Happy!. He also fields a sporadically-revisited role on ABC Marvel series Agents of SHIELD as the lanyard-fixated identical Koenig siblings.
Kripke has been slowly turning The Boys into a reunion of his gone-but-not-forgotten NBC series, Timeless. While that show’s co-star, Malcolm Barrett, provided a memorable cameo on Season 1 (more on that later), it appears that two more key personnel from the time-traversing Lifeboat are set to recur on The Boys Season 2, according to Deadline.
Goran Visnjic will play Alistair Adana, “the charismatic and shadowy leader of a mysterious church.” Visnjic, who co-starred on Timeless as antagonist-turned-ally Garcia Flynn, has since fielded a run on Netflix’s now-canceled Santa Clarita Diet, with other runs on NBC’s Crossing Lines, CBS’s Extant, and films such as General, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and pre-MCU Marvel spinoff Elektra. He’ll next be seen on the November-scheduled Hulu comedy series, Dollface.
Claudia Doumit will play Victoria Neuman, “a young wunderkind congresswoman.” Doumit is best known for her Timeless role as tech wiz (and love interest to Barrett’s Rufus,) Jiya. She has since put in an appearance on the Cate Blanchett-headlined comedic mystery, Where’d You Go, Bernadette, with a pre-Timeless CV that includes comedy film Dude and TV appearances on Supergirl, How to Be a Vampire, Scandal and Mike & Molly.
Getting back to Malcolm Barrett, the report also confirms that he will return for Season 2 as Seth Reed, who, as he explained in a Season 1 therapy session, is a Vought marketing executive whose sexual encounter with a frozen-powered Supe forced him to “let it go.” – And we’re not talking about his fears. Barrett, like Visnjic, also put in a recent appearance on Santa Clarita Diet, and comes off another TV run on AMC’s Preacher. Amongst his credits is a role in 2014’s Dear White People, a series-long run on ABC 2009-2010 sitcom Better Off Ted and a 2002 guest spot on HBO’s The Sopranos.
They join the initially-announced newcomer…
Moreover, the character loudly adheres to his pro-Aryan ideology, often with brutal results. Pertinent to the buildup generated from such a character – and at the risk of divulging some comic spoilers – Stormfront eventually meets a brutal (and I mean BRUTAL) death at the hands of The Boys; a notion that should generate curiosity with regard to the gender swap, especially if the show decides to closely follow the comics.

Cash is coming off a 5-season run as the star of FX comedy series You’re the Worst, and recently put in another role for the network in its Fosse/Verdon miniseries. She’s also banked appearances on Easy, the revived Will & Grace and, years earlier, on HBO’s The Newsroom and short-lived Fox sitcom Traffic Light, along with film roles in Social Animals, Game Over, Man!, Mary Goes Round and The Wolf of Wall Street.
