At last, the boys return to town. Season 4 of Prime Video’s edgy, irreverent smash series is back with a bang, and the stakes are higher than ever. Even while The Boys was originally intended to parody the superheroes and fictional worlds that dominated popular culture, it has since given rise to a Boys-verse of its own. The world of despised “supes” was expanded with its college-set spin-off, Gen V, and The Boys Season 4 will carry on some of the threads it started.
The Boys’ latest episode might be the darkest one yet. It’s putting everything on the political satire that mainly served as a supporting role in previous seasons, but with heroes and villains facing existential crises, Season 4 is set up for some poignant drama to balance out its polarizing humor. Here’s all the information you need to know about the next season, including when it will debut on Prime and where it fits into the larger universe.
What is The Boys Season 4 Release Date?
The three-episode debut of The Boys takes place on Thursday, June 13, and episodes of the series are available for streaming every Thursday on Amazon Prime Video. Up until its last episode airs on July 18, the show will continue to be released on a weekly basis.
What time does The Boys Season 4 premiere on Prime Video?
The Boys’ fourth season, like its predecessors, will be available on Prime Video at 12:00 a.m. EST/9:00 p.m. PST.
How many episodes will The Boys Season 4 have?
There will be eight episodes in Season 4 of The Boys. There are five more weekly releases left until the season finale, following the three episodes this week.
Who stars in The Boys Season 4?
Despite its chaotic, brutal, and often unforgiving universe, The Boys’ core cast has more or less remained unchanged. Karl Urban (Billy Butcher), Jack Quaid (Hughie Campbell), Laz Alonso (Mother’s Milk), Erin Moriarty (Annie January/Starlight), Karen Fukuhara (Kimiko), and Tomer Kapon (Frenchie) will be reprising their roles as the eponymous Boys. Meanwhile, on Team Vought, Antony Starr (Homelander), Jessie T. Usher (A-Train), Chace Crawford (the Deep), and Claudia Doumit (Victoria Neuman) are also set to return.
The Boys Season 4 will also introduce a new crop of heroes and villains. The Seven gets two new inductees in Firecracker (Valorie Curry) and Sister Sage (Susan Heyward). Butcher also gains an ally in an old friend played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Is there a trailer for The Boys Season 4?
Yes. Be aware that the official Season 4 trailer that you see below hardly touches the surface.
What is the plot for The Boys Season 4?
The events of Gen V, which are pertinent here, occur after the events of The Boys’ fourth season. After their disastrous encounter with Homelander at the conclusion of Season 3, Butcher and the Boys are still in shock. The Boys are engaged in combat on both sides as Victoria Neuman, Robert Singer’s (Jim Beaver) vice president, prepares to take the oath of office. Homelander’s son Ryan (Cameron Crovetti) is now formally under his control. The fact that Butcher has less than a year to live as a result of his obsessive usage of V24 in Season 3 further exacerbates the situation. For the majority of our heroes, time is running out.
Will there be another season of The Boys?
The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke recently announced another season of the show. Season 5 will be the last, which aligns with Kripke’s previously discussed plan for The Boys. Each season has been building up to the final showdown between Homelander and Butcher, and this cat-and-mouse game between supes and vigilantes is arguably getting old. But if Kripke and his collaborators stick the landing, then Season 4 will be the start of a satisfying conclusion.
On June 13, The Boys will launch on Prime Video.
