The Boys season 4

The fourth season of the American satirical superhero television series The Boys, the first series in the franchise based on the comic book series of the same name written by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, was developed for television by American writer and television producer Eric Kripke. The season is produced by Amazon MGM Studios in association with Sony Pictures Television, Point Grey Pictures, Original Film, Kripke Enterprises, Kickstart Entertainment and KFL Nightsky Productions.

The show's fourth season stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Cameron Crovetti returning from prior seasons, with Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan joining the cast. Taking place six months after the events of the previous season, The Boys work with the CIA to assassinate Victoria Neuman (Doumit) in an effort to stop her from taking over the government. Concurrently, Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander (Starr), who is consolidating his power. With only months to live, Butcher (Urban) has lost his position as leader of The Boys, who are fed up with his lies, and must find a way to work with them if they want to save the world before it's too late. The season shares continuity with the spinoff series Gen V and is set after the conclusion of its first season (2023).

The season premiered on the streaming service Amazon Prime Video on June 13, 2024, with its first three episodes. The remaining five episodes were released weekly until July 18, 2024. The season received positive reviews with praise towards its action sequences, character development, emotional depth, storyline, blend of political commentary and surrealism, unique combination of violence, humor and social commentary, and performances (particularly Urban, Quaid, Starr, and Moriarty), lauding its bold approach to tackling complex themes and pushing narrative boundaries. However, multiple critics and publications have considered it the most polarizing and darkest season yet. On May 14, 2024, the series was renewed for a fifth season. On June 11, two days before the fourth season premiered, Kripke announced that the fifth season would serve as the final season.
