In 2019, Amazon presented a new comic book project called The Boys to its viewers. The show became popular on the online platform and was named one of the best shows of the year, which prompted the filming of a sequel. The second season was more successful than the first, and the authors talked about extending it for two seasons – seasons 3 and 4 – and shooting a spin-off. It is known that the third season and a spin-off series have already been filmed and are expected to be released in 2023. The release date for season 4 of The Boys has not yet been officially announced, and the premiere of the new episodes is expected in 2023. However, it may be postponed to 2024, as the strike by the US Writers Guild (and actors) has dragged on and the filming schedule has been significantly shifted.
But according to new rumours, fans should get ready for the premiere on Prime Video on 29 September 2023. Today, let’s dive into the details and find out all the details about the new season of The Boys.
As already mentioned, in the midst of the hype and excitement, the filming of The Boys season 4 faced an unexpected obstacle. Although the cameras started rolling in Toronto back in 2022, the WGA strike made adjustments to the work, postponing the release until further notice.
Firstly, will season 4 of The Boys be the last? It’s time to put those rumours to rest! Author Eric Kripke has given the final word: Season 4 is not the end of the Boys’ journey. In fact, the fifth season is already on the horizon. And let’s not forget about the long-awaited spin-off General V, which promises to take fans to the training grounds of the Boys’ universe, think of it as a dark, noirish counterpart to Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series.
Fans can look forward to a rollercoaster of eight episodes that will be streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. Each of the previous three seasons also had eight episodes. Last season gave us an amazing revelation: Homelander introduced Becky’s son, Ryan, to the world. Given Homelander’s own genetic background, the potential for Ryan’s abilities to mirror, if not surpass, those of his father is a ticking time bomb waiting to happen. Despite his serious defeats in the previous season, Soldier Boy is not out of the game yet. His story is rooted deep in the Vaught universe, so he remains an important player to keep an eye on.
Starting out as a promising and genuine member of the Seven, Starlight has undergone a profound transformation. Her alliance with the Boys is now strong, open and no longer shrouded in secrecy. It will be interesting to see how this dynamic will change the balance of power within the Seven and in their relationship with Vaught. After making the dramatic decision to abdicate and fake her own death, Queen Maeve is on a path of uncertainty. With the stakes higher than ever, her character development has the potential to offer some of the most poignant moments of the season.
Creator Eric Kripke has been teasing fans with hints that new superheroes will be joining the cast, even though no release date has been announced for The Boys season 4. Described as some of the “best and craziest” additions yet, these new characters are sure to turn things upside down, perhaps challenging or bringing new conflicts to the surface. Let’s see!
