Amazon has unveiled a brand new trailer for The Boys season 4 – and, I do not find out about you, however I did not have superpowered, violent livestock on my bingo card for the present’s subsequent installment.
Revealed yesterday (Could 3) throughout The Boys season 4 panel at Mexico Comedian-Con – and launched on-line instantly after its world premiere – the sequence’ newest trailer teases one other blood-soaked entry on Prime Video. Not solely that, although, it additionally confirms that key storylines from companion present Gen V will carry over into the primary sequence. Oh, and that all-out battle between the titular vigilantes and the Seven, the most-famous superhero crew in The Boys universe, is about to erupt. And sure, these are Compound V-injected, Supe-d up livestock – together with an Alien-like, chest bursting flock of chickens and a bunch of flying sheep.
However sufficient teasing. Try the official trailer for The Boys‘ fourth outing beneath:
The Boys‘ newest teaser arrives 4 months after we obtained our first look its subsequent entry. In December 2023, season 4’s first trailer teased new Supes, Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s thriller character, and Homelander vs Starlight (albeit by way of their commit fanbases). Two months later, Prime Video confirmed that The Boys season 4 would energy its means onto the streaming platform on June 13, with the hit sequence’ subsequent season debuting with a three-episode premiere on launch day.
This new batch of footage offers us a even higher concept of what to anticipate from the most effective Prime Video reveals’ fourth installment. The place these Gen V ties are involved there’s Billy revealing the existence of a Supe-killing virus to the remainder of the titular crew, and appearances from superpowered school youngsters Sam and Cate (learn our Gen V season 1 ending defined article for extra particulars on all of this).
Elsewhere, we see Homelander’s devilish plan to seemingly make humanity bow to the Seven as new age gods. Then, there’s the obvious affirmation that politician (and secret Supe) Victoria Neuman is the US’ new vice chairman, loads of brutal and gory motion sequences (we might count on nothing much less from The Boys), and the continued ‘custody battle’ between Billy and Homelander for Ryan’s soul. Briefly: I can not look ahead to season 4 to debut on one of many world’s greatest streaming providers.
Is season 4 going to be the final we’ll see of The Boys?

No. Season 4’s newest trailer appears to counsel that this would be the hit present’s ultimate entry, however it seems that showrunner Eric Kripke is not placing a quantity on what number of seasons The Boys will run for.
Initially, he revealed (by way of an X/Twitter Q&A in October 2020) that he had a five-season plan for the R-rated live-action sequence. Nonetheless, talking to Inverse in November 2023, Kripke stated of The Boys‘ future: “I’ve since realized that actually nobody in historical past is worse at predicting the quantity of seasons of a present. I’ve realized my lesson and I’ve stopped predicting what number of seasons these reveals go. One can find out in hindsight.”
After all, this could possibly be smoke and mirrors on Kripke’s half. Gen V season 1 may technically be considered as The Boys season 4, given the quantity of characters who cross over from the primary present into the college-based spin-off. Gen V season 2 is on the best way, too, although its growth was not too long ago paused because of the shock passing of star Likelihood Perdamo. Add that duo along with The Boys‘ 4 seasons, and there is an argument to be made that we have had six seasons set in The Boys‘ live-action universe. Heck, it is really seven seasons in case you rely anthology TV present The Boys Presents: Diabolical.
In abstract, then: no, The Boys season 4 will not carry Amazon’s hit franchise to an finish. It may theoretically spell the tip of the mainline sequence, however I feel there’s a minimum of yet another season left within the tank for Billy, Homelander, and firm, no matter whether or not they characteristic in Gen V season 2.
