Season 4 of The Boys debuted on June 13, 2024, with the first three episodes dropping simultaneously, followed by weekly releases for the remaining episodes.
The new season heightened the stakes, with Victoria Neuman edging closer to the Oval Office under Homelander’s control, and Butcher, dealing with personal losses and a ticking clock on his life, leading the charge against the supes.
The cast for Season 4 included returning favourites such as Jack Quaid as Hughie Campbell, Antony Starr as Homelander, Erin Moriarty as Starlight, and newcomers like Susan Heyward and Valorie Curry. Jeffrey Dean Morgan also joins the cast in a mysterious role, adding to the anticipation.
The confirmation of Season 5 is the final instalment marks the end of an era for The Boys, but it also promises a fitting and thrilling conclusion to the saga of Billy Butcher and his fight against the corrupt superheroes.
For now, fans can rewatch the previous seasons on Prime Video and prepare for the explosive continuation and conclusion of one of the most daring superhero series on television.
