It’s official:The Boysseason 4will finally launch onPrime Videosometime in 2024.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter),The Boys' official account confirmed that the hit Prime Video series would return to our screens next year. The announcement was made by way of season 4’s first two posters, which depict Anthony Starr’s Homelander as a celebrated Supe (well, ‘celebrated’ as in ‘fearfully adored by the public’) and Karl Urban’s Billy Butcher looking rather forlorn amid balloons and confetti littering the ground.

There’s plenty we can read into the posters' imagery, such as Billy potentially spending much of season 4 alone in his thoughts. After all, as we covered in ourThe Boysseason 3 ending explainedarticle, Butcher learned he only had 12 to 18 months to live due to his exposure to experimental super-serum V24, so it’s a fitting one sheet for the Supe-fighting group’s de-facto leader.
But wait, there’s more. In another post onThe Boys' various social media channels, a still image of Urban’s Butcher is accompanied with a caption reading “Big day, lots to do”.

Are we about to get our first look at the hit R-rated show’s fourth season via its first teaser? Perhaps. AfterThe Boysseason 4 was confirmed to be in development in June 2022, principal photography began immediately. Filming wrapped in April, so there’s every chance a teaser, even a 30-second one, could be released at some stage today (November 8).

Alternatively, we might get some new casting news, a brief plot synopsis, or some other big reveal. For starters,The Walking Dead’s Jeffrey Dean Morgan was confirmed to have joinedThe Boysseason 4’s castin August 2022, so Amazon might decide to unveil his character today instead.

Fan expectations are understandably high forThe Boysseason 4. As one of thebest Prime Video shows, the Eric Kripke-developed TV adaptation of the beloved comic book series has gone from strength to strength since it debuted in July 2019. And, withKripke confirming season 4 won’t be the final entry in the series, we can expect even more shenanigans set inThe Boysuniverse after its fourth season is released.
Indeed, we already know that a second season ofGen V, the first live-action spin-off set in said universe, is in active development.Gen V’s season 1 finale also set up some potentially big story threads to come inThe Boys' next installment, so be sure to read ourGen Vseason 1 ending explainedguide to learn more about what’s at stake in the main series.
