Here is everything we know about The Boys season 4 so far.
The Boys Season 4 Release Date: When Will the Season Come Out?
Previously, showrunner Eric Kripke posted on X that The Boys Season 4 will only be released when the Writers Guild of America strike ends.
When a fan asked why this is so even though the season had already wrapped filming, Kripke responded:
However, it has recently been confirmed that The Boys season 4 will be returning on June 13, 2024, when its first three episodes premiere, while fans can expect the season finale to be released on Thursday, July 18.
The Boys Season 4 Cast: Who Are the Actors Included in the Series?
Many of the cast members from the previous seasons will be returning in The Boys Season 4. The returning cast members include:
- Karl Urban as Billy Butcher
- Jack Quaid as Hughie Campbell
- Anthony Starr as John/Homelander
- Erin Moriarty as Annie January/Starlight
- Jessie T. Usher as Reggie Franklin/A-Train
- Laz Alonso as Mother’s Milk/MM
- Chace Crawford as Kevin Moskowitz/The Deep
- Tomer Capon as Serge/Frenchie
- Karan Fukuhara as Kimiko Miyashiro/The Female
- Colby Minifie as Ashley Barrett
- Claudia Doumit as Victoria Neuman
- Cameron Crovetti as Ryan Butcher
- Simon Pegg as Hugh Campbell Sr.
Nathan Mitchell will return in season 4 as a new version of Black Noir.
Jensen Ackles is expected to return in The Boys season 4 too. Dominique McElligott might not be returning as Queen Maeve in Season 4 following her character's Season 3 finale exit.
The new cast members of the series include Susan Heyward as Sister Sage, Valorie Curry as Firecracker, Rosemarie DeWitt as Hughie's mom, Rob Benedict, Elliot Knight, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
The Boys Season 4 Plot: What Will the Fourth Season Be About?
Showrunner Eric Kripke said that The Boys Season 4 will focus on Butcher and Homelander's fight over Ryan. Kripke said: "Both Butcher and Homelander have very good reasons to fight over Ryan because the stakes could not be higher."
The conflict lies in whether Ryan takes the same path as Homelander did or not, and if he does, it's described as a "nightmare for the planet."
The best solution would be if Butcher could get Ryan back into the light, which would allow them to defeat Homelander.
Kripke added that considering The Boys series has always been about family, with season 3 being about fathers, it only makes sense to make season 4 about sons.
Hughie and the team will likely be dealing with Victoria Neuman too, now that she's on the path to becoming the next Vice President of the United States.
Additionally, we would likely get more ideas about what else could happen in Season 4 through The Boys' spin-off, Gen V.
According to actress Claudia Doumit, Gen V lays a lot of the “groundwork” and “foundations” for The Boys Season 4.
Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon and MGM Studios, also said that “there are definitely some crossovers, and Gen V pays off some of the direction of where we're going in season 4 of The Boys in great ways.”
