A genre veteran is joining The Boys next season. Variety is reporting that Laurie Holden has been cast as Crimson Countess in The Boys season 3. Holden’s role will appear on a recurring basis throughout the new season.
In The Boys comics, Crimson Countess is a heroine created by Vought who was in the running to join The Seven. Her powers include fire and heat manipulation, and also a form of heat vision.
Holden is perhaps best known for starring in The Walking Dead as Andrea during the first three seasons. Additionally, Holden had recurring roles on The X-Files, The Shield, and The Americans. Holden’s credits also include the first Silent Hill movie, The Majestic, and The Mist.

The Boys season 3 is currently filming. Additionally, Amazon Prime hasn’t set a premiere date yet. However, a late 2021 premiere isn’t out of the question.
