American superhero drama The Boys returns on June 13. Season 4 of the Prime Video series is scheduled to have a new episode every Thursday, with the season finale set for July 18.
The Boys is based on a comic book series of the same name, written by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. The series adaptation creator Eric Kripke is also known for his 2005 fantasy series Supernatural.
The cast includes Anthony Starr who plays Homelander, while his archenemy, Billy Butcher, is portrayed by Karl Urban.
Fans expect this season to introduce new members to Vought, Homelander’s superhero team. The additions consist of Sister Sage (Susan Heyward) and Firecracker (Valorie Curry). The Walking Dead and Supernatural star Jeffery Dean Morgan is also joining the cast as he is set to play Joe Kessler. Since its 2019 premiere, the TV series has been highly praised by critics for its humour and storyline, which earned it a multitude of nominations, including outstanding drama series and outstanding writing for a drama series for the 2021 Emmy Awards. The black comedy’s plot parodies and draws inspiration from popular superhero franchises, as fans and critics believe the characters serve as satirical nods to different heroes from the DC and Marvel universes.
