‘The Boys‘ are leaving town, as showrunner Eric Kripke announces the 5th Season will be the last, just before Season 4 premieres this week. This is not a cancellation, but a planned ending by Kripke.
“The Boys Season 4 Premiere Week is a good time to announce: Season 5 will be the Final Season!” Kripke commented on social media. “Always my plan, I just had to be cagey till I got the final OK from Vought. Thrilled to bring the story to a gory, epic, moist climax. Watch Season 4 in TWO DAYS, ’cause the end has begun!”
‘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.
Some places are reporting the show ending as a “shock”, but really, it isn’t. Kripke had previously said his arc for the show was always around five seasons, although, at the time, he added that he knew “better than to say how many seasons a show is gonna have.” Interestingly, his original arc for his “other” show, ‘Supernatural’, was planned for five seasons, although in that case, he handed over the reins of the series, and it ended up running for fifteen!
In Season Four, the world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power. Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son as well as his job as The Boys’ leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it’s too late.
‘The Boys’ stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Cameron Crovetti. Season Four will welcome Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
‘The Boys‘ Season 4 will premiere Thursday, 13th June 2024 on Prime Video worldwide. The diabolical drama will drop with three episodes, followed by a new episode each week.
