While many are currently watching The Boys Season 4, for those catching on on the Amazon Studios series, here's the cast and characters who show up for the show's Season 2.
The second season picks up moments after Season 1 ends when Butcher learns that Becca is alive, and she even has a son–Homelander's flesh and blood. To make matters worse, Homelander is on the hunt for Translucent's killers, there's a new head-popping villain in town, and Kimiko has a not-so-smooth family reunion.

Cast, Characters, and Actors of The Boys Season 2
These are all the talented cast and characters who appear throughout The Boys Season 2.
Antony Starr - Homelander
The narcissistic, psychopathic Compound-V-fueled Supe, Homelander, is adored by fans around the world—but those who actually know him are terrified of the man.
Following the public announcement of Translucent's death, he tells the world that he's committed to finding who killed him. At the same time, Homelander finds himself constantly preoccupied with the existence of Becca and his child.
One of fan's favorites performances from Starr, outside of Homelander, was as Lucas Hood in Banshee.
