The trailer kicks off with the country searching high and low for Billy Butcher and his associates. The Supes, meanwhile, are none too happy with them and are on a quest for vengeance, out to prove that the world still needs superheroes. The footage is action-packed, violent and most definitely of the R-rated variety. Plus, it’s all set to the tone of We Didn’t Start the Fire by Billy Joel. Those concerned that the creative team was going to tone things down in season 2 quite obviously have nothing to worry about.

Meanwhile, Billy Butcher is nowhere to be found. Over with the Supes, Starlight is trying to find her place in The Seven as Homelander sets his sights on assuming control.

On top of that, the Supervillain threat takes center stage, with Vought aiming to capitalize on the country’s paranoia.
