The Boys is back for season 4, and Prime Video’s hit superhero series ain’t pulling any punches.
Based on the hit comic book run by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, and brought to life by showrunner Eric Kripke, The Boys explores an alternate reality where superheroes exist — and they’re mostly power-hungry, celebrity-obsessed, horrible people.
It’s been two years since we last checked in with Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and his rag-tag group of Supe-fighting vigilantes and, as you may remember, things aren’t looking so hot. Butcher’s dealing with a terminal brain tumor, Starlight (Erin Moriarty) quit being a Supe altogether and Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso) indirectly created a dangerous zealot in Todd (Matthew Gorman).
On the villain front, Homelander (Antony Starr) is struggling to be a dad to young Ryan (Cameron Crovetti), and while Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) and a newly powerless Queen Maeve (Dominique McElligott) survived the season finale on opposite sides of the fence, their whereabouts are being kept under wraps from the public. Victoria Neuman’s (Claudia Doumit) road to political stardom — paved with exploding heads — could see her wind up as vice president. And season 4 throws two new Supes into the mix who could tip the scales of power: Firecracker (Valorie Curry) and Sister Sage (Susan Heyward).
The Boys also stars Jack Quaid, Jessie T. Usher, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara and Colby Minifie. Heyward, Curry and Jeffrey Dean Morgan are newcomers in season 4.
Now that the show is set to end with season 5, you don’t want to miss this installment. If you’re ready to strap in for another round of gruesome Supe encounters, Vought schemes and Homelander’s temper tantrums, read on to find out when to stream season 4.
