Season 4 of The Boys is coming soon!
Although we don't yet know the exact return date, Amazon Prime Video has already confirmed
that the program will return.
Billy Butcher and the crew will once again face off against the Supes, and considering
*that* finale, they have a lot of work ahead of them.
Just a few episodes into The Boys' third season, the superhero show's early renewal was announced.
Showrunner Eric Kripke teased what will come next by saying, "We're eager to continue Butcher
and the Boys' battle against Homelander and the Seven, as well as remark on the weird
world we're living in."
Check out our in-depth guide to The Boys season 4 if you're as eager to see the program return
as Kripke is.
We've outlined the possible release date, the cast members that are most likely to return,
and the prospective direction of the story.
But first, a heads up: this video includes MAJOR season 3 finale of The Boys spoilers.
So, before continuing, make sure you've seen episode 8 of season 3 of The Boys.
Release date for Season 4 of The Boys
The Boys season 4 has not yet received an official release date.
The season 3 finale of the program, which was very recently recommissioned in June 2022,
aired on July 8, 2022.
We might have to wait a bit before seeing any new episodes.
While we don't have any firm information, we've done extensive research on prior seasons
to attempt to determine when the program will return.
The show's first and second seasons were separated by a year and a month, followed by a larger
pause between the second and third, which was prolonged by the coronavirus epidemic.
Season 4 might be out any time between July 2023 and March 2024 if it follows the same
trend as the previous seasons.
The actor who portrays Butcher, Karl Urban, hinted that filming for the program might
start later this summer.
He said in a statement to Collider(opens in new tab): "We're going to begin season four
on, I believe, August 22.
I am already anticipating returning and putting my Butcher back on.
I enjoy being a part of this gang because we work and play hard together.
I'm looking forward to seeing where the characters go once this season is through."
Given this information, it is probable that fresh episodes of The Boys will air before
the end of 2023.
Of course, this is now only a guess.
We'll inform you as soon as anything formal is disclosed.
One possibility is that Varsity, a spin-off of The Boys, will air before season 4 of The
Boys.
This will debut on Prime Video in 2023, as was first stated in 2020.
It centers on college-aged Supes who are put to the test in contests akin to The Hunger
Games in a Vought-run university.
Plot of The Boys season 4
The Boys season 4's narrative has not yet been announced, but the season 3 conclusion
does offer us a solid indication of what will happen next.
The Boys have reunited and are more committed than ever to their strategy for overthrowing
the Supes.
However, it appears that Victoria Neuman is now their main adversary.
She struck a pact with Homelander, and when her rivals were drowned by The Deep in the
season finale, she won the vice presidential nomination.
This puts her in contention to surpass all previous Superpowers, at least politically.
However, Starlight will provide some assistance this time.
She tried to alter things from the inside, but she is now firmly on team Butcher and
an integral part of the group.
And after being left to cope with the fallout from Temp V, he may need all the assistance
he can get.
Billy will be in grave risk in the upcoming season because of the drug's effects on his
body, according to the advice he has received.
Homelander comes next.
He's still insane, and it doesn't seem like much will be able to stop him.
Despite the Supe lasering a bystander and broadcasting his divisive, poisonous beliefs
in a national TV address, the Storm Chasers are still staunchly on his side.
Ryan, his son, has since joined him after being revealed to the public along with his
abilities.
We don't yet know if season 4 will include a new major antagonist.
Fortunately, Soldier Boy is still alive after being neutralized.
Therefore, when the series comes around, we could see him hauled off the ice once more.
We bet, though, that Kripke will have a fresh trick up his sleeve for season 4, as we could
encounter a someone who can ultimately stop Homelander once and for all.
