The Boys is about to usher in a new lady in red. As exclusively unveiled by TVLine, a first-look photo of The Walking Dead‘s Laurie Holden as Crimson Countess made the rounds on Friday.
On the show, Crimson Countess was in the running to join The Seven like Starlight. Her abilities include heat vision, heat manipulation and fire manipulation. She parodies the Scarlet Witch from the Marvel comics.
However, per the comics, Crimson Countess was a member of Payback, one of the strongest superhero teams and second only to The Seven, with other notable members Stormfront and Soldier Boy. She’s in a relationship with Mind-Droid.

Holden’s Crimson Countess will be a recurring character in Season Three of The Boys, but she’s not the only new face cropping up in the world of Vought International. Nick Wechsler joins the fray as Blue Hawk, Miles Gaston Villanueva signs on as Supersonic, Sean Patrick Flannery plays Gunpowder, Kristin Booth and Jack Doolan portray supe siblings Tessa and Tommy, a.k.a. the TNT Twins.
Lastly, as previously reported, Jensen Ackles plays Soldier Boy, the first superhero. Ackles’ role will be pretty significant.
Amazon Studios plans to expand The Boys universe, with a spin-off at a supe college run by Vought International currently in the works. Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas serve as showrunners for the untitled series.
Laurie Holden is most known for portraying Andrea Harrison on AMC’s zombie apocalypse thriller The Walking Dead and Renee on FX’s Cold War drama The Americans. In addition to The Boys, Holden can be heard in 2022’s animated adventure Fireheart as Pauline opposite Olivia Cooke, Kenneth Branagh and William Shatner.
