The slightly different comedy adaptation “The Boys” is rightly one of the best and most popular Amazon series. No wonder the online provider has now created an entire franchise around its brazen and clever reckoning with superherodom (another series from the cosmos, “The Boys: Mexico,” was recently announced).
But as good as a spin-off like ‘Gen V’ may be and could bridge the waiting period a bit (and it really did!), many fans are still longing for more of the main series. Because that has taken a long time since the summer of 2022. Next year the time has finally come: The fourth season of ‘The Boys’. will launch on Amazon Prime Video in 2024, but an exact date has not yet been announced. Unfortunately, the first teaser trailer doesn’t provide any more information, but as usual it does provide a spectacular taste of what’s going on.
What awaits us in season 4 of “The Boys”?
In season 4 of ‘The Boys’ we delve further into the messed up world of corrupt superheroes and heroines. After alleged model hero Homelander (Antony Starr) murdered a protester in public, he now has to answer to court. But that obviously doesn’t stop a powerful Supe with such a fanatical following.
And so it’s up to the guys around Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and Hughie (Jack Quaid) to put an end to Homelander and the unscrupulous Supe company Vought – especially after Butcher realizes what a cruel, though ultimately perhaps useful ,experiments were performed. under the Supe-Uni in “Gen V”.
Here a deadly virus was secretly developed that only affects Supes and could thus bring the hoped-for turn in the fight against the powerful opponents – but of course also entails some dangers and risks (especially for the righteous people with special powers ). It won’t be that simple, not least because two crazy Supes appear on stage, Firecracker (Valorie Curry) and Sister Sage (Susan Heyward), who are in no way inferior to Homelander.
Another new addition is expected by many with even greater excitement: “The Walking Dead” fan favorite Jeffrey Dean Morgan is also joining the cast of “The Boys” in Season 4.
