A supercharged The Boys train has hit Sydney.

After two years of very little red carpet international action in the Harbour City, Hollywood is flocking to town.

Having started the week with Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis red carpet spectacular, Confidential on Tuesday spent time with the stars of hit US TV series, The Boys.

“There is something special about being in a different country and it is like being at summer camp and doing press together with all of your castmates,” Karen Fukuhara, who plays Kimiko Miyashiro in the series, told Confidential.

“You do your dinners together, you wake up together and then you get to experience a whole new city together.”

The Boys is a black comedy superhero series that screens on Prime Video, with the third season now streaming.

Jack Quaid, Chace Crawford, Jessie T Usher and Claudia Doumit joined Fukuhara to walk the red carpet at the Entertainment Quarter on Tuesday night.

“This is my first time in Australia and I am just so happy to be here at all,” Quaid, the son of Hollywood royalty Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid, said.

The Boys is based on the comic book of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson and is unashamedly dark.

“The premise of our show is it is ridiculous and it is funny but it also has the social commentary,” said Fukuhara.

Crawford added: “It is just so unpredictable. The superhero genre is just so formulaic so to take that and flip it on its head, it is fun to make fun of the idiot white guy who is an a***hole, the white male priviliged guy who is deeply insecure.”
