Get ready! Ahead of an in-universe presidential election, Billy Butcher and Homelander are about to take the viewers for another wild ride in the fourth season.
After knowing all about the cliffhanger ending “Gen V” Season 1 finale, “The Boys,” Season 4 is going to continue the timeline by taking place about a month after the events of the finale, just ahead of an in-universe presidential election. From the first official look at the posters of Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and Homelander (Antony Starr), it is pretty evident that the Vought supes led by Homelander are going to have a good Election Day, and Billy Butcher and The Boys are going to be left crushed by defeat.
There is no doubt that after three incredibly successful seasons, this Amazon Prime original series has become a global phenomenon, captivating audiences with its unique blend of dark humor and gritty storytelling. So the expectations are skyrocketing among the fans, and we are confident the season will live up to the hype because even though Amazon has not yet set a premiere date for “The Boys” Season 4, it has been confirmed that the new chapter will be made available to stream in 2024.

In addition to this, Season 4 will also kick off with Neuman and Singer winning the election, much to the detriment of Butcher, Hughie, and the Boys, who are working on getting revenge on secret supe Neuman. The network has also confirmed that Butcher knows about the virus. According to Variety’s recent interview with “The Boys” showrunner Eric Kripke, the supe-targeted virus introduced on the spinoff “Gen V” will be an important plot point in “The Boys” Season 4.
Moreover, Homelander will stand trial for lasering a Starlighter’s head off. Vought has even made a hashtag for the occasion. #HomeFree That’s not it! The events of Season 4 will officially lead into Gen V Season 2. Filming was completed ahead of the actors’ strike kicking off in July, and according to Kripke, the editing is done, and the team is figuring out visual and audio effects. The marketing team is also ramping up promotions, which means the release date will be announced soon.

The Boys is a fun and irreverent take on what happens when superheroes—who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods—abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. Intent on stopping the corrupt superheroes, The Boys, a group of vigilantes, continue their heroic quest to expose the truth about The Seven and Vought—the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. It’s the seemingly powerless against the super-powerful.
Season four of The Boys will feature Urban and Starr, along with Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Jensen Ackles. On the other hand, this season will also introduce two new heroes, Firecracker and Sister Sage. Tek-Knight, played by Derek Wilson, is also expected to make an appearance with Laddio, Tek-Knight’s sidekick, played by Reid Miller. Lastly, this season will also introduce us to Webweaver, played by Dan Mousseau.
The Boys is based on The New York Times best-selling comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, who also serve as executive producers and developed by executive producer and showrunner Eric Kripke. Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Phil Sgriccia, Craig Rosenberg, Ken F. Levin, Jason Netter, Paul Grellong, David Reed, Meredith Glynn, and Michaela Starr also serve as executive producers. The Boys is produced by Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television Studios, with Kripke Enterprises, Original Film, and Point Grey Pictures.
Apart from the new spin-off Gen V, The Boys franchise also includes an eight-episode anthology animated series, The Boys Presents: Diabolical which is now streaming on Prime Video.
