A new trailer for The Boys season 3 upcoming musical episode sees Kimiko and Frenchie dancing. The Boys is subversive superhero series created by Supernatural's Eric Kripke, based on a comic book series of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. The show focuses on a team of vigilantes, led by Billy Butcher, who is determined to bring down corrupt superheroes who abuse their powers. The Boys stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarity, Karen Fukuhara, Laz Alonso, and Tomer Capone.
With the third season of The Boys underway, audiences have seen character growth developed over a time jump following the end of season 2. One such example is Fukuhara's Kimiko connecting with the world through music in an attempt to feel more at peace. This connection will help lead into the musical aspects the show has been teasing, with Capone's Frenchie showing Kimiko musicals, helping her find her place through things she likes. With that setup in place, The Boys is primed to unleash their unique brand of musical theater to audiences.
A short teaser trailer shared by The Boys' Twitter account offers a glimpse of Friday's upcoming episode with the message, "Bring your dancing shoes." It features quick shots of new and old characters set to the sounds of show tunes-style music. The prominent aspects of the trailer offer shots of Kimiko and Frenchie performing an elaborate dance sequence in a hospital. Check out the teaser trailer for The Boys' musical episode below:

Given that Kimiko and Frenchie are dancing their way through a hospital, the scene likely takes place after the events of the last episode, which saw Kimiko gravely injured by Soldier Boy. And while a musical episode may seem out of place to some, The Boys offers a distinct environment where such a concept could play out logically. The third season has already featured the perfect setup for the musical with a scene where Kimiko began singing, only for her to snap out of it, showing audiences it was a daydream.
The Boys is also not the first series of this type to venture into musical territory, as shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Flash, and even Lucifer have had musical episodes in the past. However, with The Boys already subverted expectations in numerous, often awe-inspiring and shocking ways, a musical episode feels well within the realm of possibility for the show. The Boys will debut their musical episode on Amazan Prime Video this Friday, giving audiences their first look at what the creators have cooked up.
