Not much is known about Season 4, which has already been confirmed. We got the Notes on the possible start at Amazon looked at more closely and, starting from the end of season 3, give an outlook on which open questions the next chapter of the anti-superhero saga The Boys has to answer.

When does The Boys season 4 start on Amazon Prime Video?

Fortunately, the next The Boys break won’t be as long as the waiting time between seasons 2 and 3. Because as Billy Butcher actor Karl Urban revealed in an interview with Collider, the shooting for the new episodes is imminent. the Production is scheduled to start in August.

Warning, here are the spoilers for the end of The Boys Season 3:

The Boys Season 4: What the Season 3 finale reveals

That At the heart of Season 3 was the superhero Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), whose brutal vendetta against his former Payback members and pact with Billy Butcher drove the plot forward. Now the asshole Captain America blend is back on hold. Will he return? Will a new guest supe be the lynchpin of Season 4?

Even if there is no concrete information about the Season 4 plot (and a worthy Herogasm successor), the season 3 finale with its many twists and turns already sets the course for the sequel and leaves a few questions unanswered:

Homelander and the thinned out The Seven

The iconic superhero team The Seven has been severely thinned out. At the end of Season 3 are only Homelander, A-Train and Deep available as members. Now the question arises: Will Vought completely scrap the Seven or fill the empty spots with four new Supes?

Meanwhile, Homelander’s (Antony Starr) development continues at the end of Season 3. He kills a civilian in public. His attending alt-right supporters don’t care. They celebrate him for his brutal deed. Homelander no longer has to pretend to be loved. He can be a murderous psychopath and still be celebrated. But what does that mean for his son? As feared, Ryan will soon become a mini-homelander?

The Boys growth and Butcher’s approaching death

Billy Butcher’s use of Temp-V was indeed devastating. In the season 3 finale, he receives the gruesome news: his brain has been irreparably damaged, which is what his Life expectancy reduced to a measly 12 to 18 months Has. So will Butcher actually die soon? With that, The Boys would move towards the Endgame of the series to move. Unless Butcher finds a way to extend his life next season. Maybe with a permanent Compound V transformation?

One thing is certain, however: Butcher’s imminent demise adds tremendous urgency to his Supes-killing mission. he will now even more dogged, aggressive and radical take action against Homelander and other corrupt supes? An exciting development is looming that could make Butcher just as unpredictable as his nemesis, Homelander.

Meanwhile, the boys’ team is called Starlight (Erin Moriarty) as an official new member who has realized that she can still be a heroine without Seven status and a fancy costume. By the way, the boys already have a new goal: Head blaster Victoria Newman is on track (thanks to Homelander’s help) to become Vice President of the United States. The Boys could thus put an even stronger focus on the influence of Supes on politics than before.

Did we last see Queen Maeve?

The public believes Queen Maeve (Dominique McElligott) made the ultimate sacrifice to stop Soldier Boy. But she survived and faces one at the end of Season 3 New start as a human without superpowers (and without a right eye) against. The evidence of her survival was destroyed by Ashley. And it seems like Maeve actually said goodbye to The Boys when she said goodbye to Annie.

Maeve got her happy ending and can now devote herself to a quiet life away from the Supes chaos with her friend Elena. The Boys now has two options here: Season 4 could address Maeve’s human life and her possible failure at it. Or their touching farewell was final.
