The Boys star Erin Moriarty discussed the one line her character Annie January will refuse to cross ahead of the premiere of the Prime Video hit series' third season.
In an exclusive interview with CBR, Moriarty was asked to elaborate on the one boundary Annie will not breach in order to keep herself morally sound. "The line that Annie will not cross is she will not have any casualties in any missions that she endeavors on," she said. "The only person she will put at risk is herself. I think that Hughie, for the greater good, thinks -- and this comes from good intentions -- that certain casualties might be worth it to obtain their goals. Annie will not allow that to happen. That's the line she won't cross, is hurting anyone who is innocent."
Annie's relationship with her boyfriend Hughie Campbell (Jack Quaid) will take center stage in the upcoming season. Moriarty revealed that fans will get to see the pair settled into a routine due to Season 3 taking place a little later in The Boys' timeline. "We get to see them in the thick of their love for each other," she explained. "They have a bond there that is profound because of what they have both gone through and because of an empathy between them. Even though they aren't abundantly aware that they are the moral compasses of the show, they have found someone in this very corrupt world who looks at things similarly to the way that they do. So, we pick up on them in a lovely place."
Things are not all rainbows and sunshine, however, as new dangers emerge and old threats will jeopardize everything the Boys have worked so hard for. "[Annie and Hughie] are in love, and they are best friends, but they have to navigate difficult waters as the season progresses," Moriarty said.
Set in a universe where the general public lauds super-powered individuals, Prime Video's The Boys centers around two groups of heroes -- the eponymous vigilantes, "the Boys," who are determined to take down Vought International and "the Seven," the most powerful and popular team working for Vought. Created by Eric Kripke (Supernatural), the series has received critical acclaim due to its writing, plot, humor, cast performances and commentary on the superhero genre.
The first and second seasons of The Boys are available to stream now on Prime Video. Season 3 of The Boys is set to hit the streaming service on June 3.
