So you know the 7 new stars of the Amazon series

On June 13, 2024, The Boys finally started its fourth season on Prime Video after a two-year wait. Amazon’s brutal superhero satire lets Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and Homelander (Antony Starr) go at each other again, while social tensions reach borderline proportions against the backdrop of the US election.

In season 4, in addition to the reunion with our favorite Boys members and morally corrupt Supes, there is also 7 important new characters to discover which we will introduce to you in more detail here. One or two of the stars might even look familiar to you.

The Boys Season 4: These are the new Amazon stars in the cast

The cast of the fourth season of The Boys is huge, with around 15 characters in the main cast, and surprises with a number of familiar faces and a few new characters. We have listed the most important new stars here in brief. Below you will find more detailed descriptions of the characters and where you may already know the actors from.

In the course of the 8 episodes of The Season 4, there are of course many more new characters (and guest stars) to marvel at. We have gathered here on the 7 most important new additions which you will see in the first episodes.

The Boys Season 4 Cast: Nathan Mitchell plays Black Noir II

Wait, Black Noir?! Yes, you read that right. After the Seven member was killed by Homelander in the season 3 finale, Vought simply replaced the silent superhero. Behind the black mask is a completely new character. And this one differs greatly from the original in one respect: Black Noir II is extremely talkative.

However, a new actor was not hired for Black Noir 2.0. The Supe will again be played by Nathan Mitchell who is now finally allowed to speak. Aside from The Boys, Mitchell has appeared in Supernatural as Kelvin and most recently played the character Zion Miller in the Netflix series Ginny & Georgia.

The Boys Season 4 Cast: Susan Heyward plays Sister Sage

The most important new addition in season 4 is Sister Sage, who is the first new member to join the Seven. Her superpowers include a superior intellect and a photographic memory. Sister Sage is nothing less than the smartest person on the planet.

Sister Sage becomes indispensable to Homelander. Not only because she is the only person who can tell him what she thinks and stand up to him. With her intelligence and foresight, she knows exactly how Homelander can strengthen his power.

Sister Sage is played by actress Susan Heyward. Series fans know her primarily as prison guard Tamika Ward from the Netflix hit Orange Is the New Black – or as a cult follower from the thriller series The Following. Most recently, she was seen in the sci-fi series Hello Tomorrow! on Apple TV+.

The Boys Season 4 Cast: Valorie Curry plays Firecracker

The new Seven member Firecracker actually has a less spectacular superpower. With a snap of her fingers she can create a small bang, like a firecracker. Her real strength lies elsewhere: Firecracker is a real celebrity in the world of conspiracy theorists and the alt-right movement, who has gained countless followers with her video format Truthbomb. And she has her eye on superheroine Starlight (Erin Moriarty) in particular.

The super influencer is Valorie Curry who, like her The Boys colleague Susan Heyward, also appeared in the cult series The Following. In it, she delivered a spine-tingling performance as the unpredictable follower of a serial killer. She also appeared in other series in House of Lies, The Tick and Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol

The Boys Season 4 Cast: Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays Joe Kessler

We never saw him before season 4, but Joe Kessler and Billy Butcher have been through a lot together in the past. Now Butcher’s former war buddy and CIA contact comes back into his life to help him fight Homelander and get Ryan on their side.

It was only a matter of time before Jeffrey Dean Morgan can also be seen in The Boys. After all, The Boys creator Eric Kripke is working hard to include numerous stars from his previous series Supernatural in the Amazon hit. Of course, main character John Winchester cannot be left out. However, Morgan’s most iconic role is and remains that of the perfidious villain and later antihero Negan from The Walking Dead universe.

The Boys Season 4 Cast: Rosemarie DeWitt plays Daphne Campbell

Hughie Campbell (Jack Quaid) is confronted with a personal tragedy in season 4 when his father (Simon Pegg) suffers a stroke. This eventually brings Hughie’s mother back into his life – and some traumatic memories. Daphne Campbell left her son at the age of six and has not seen him since. The fact that she also works for a Vought subsidiary brings additional potential for conflict into the strained relationship.

With almost 60 different film and series roles, the US actress Rosemarie DeWitt are among the familiar faces who are new to The Boys Season 4. Series fans have recently discovered them in the series The Staircase, Little Fires Everywhere and Chemistry, among others.

The Boys Season 4 Cast: Elliot Knight plays Colin

In the prelude to The Boys Season 4 we learn Colin as a member of Starlight’s Charity. Sparks immediately fly between him and Frenchie (Tomer Capon). But the blossoming romance between the two men is overshadowed by a terrible secret. Frenchie is responsible for the death of Colin’s family. Does their new-found happiness even have a chance?

The British-born Elliot Knight made his series debut as the title character in the adventure series Sinbad and gained greater attention as the magician Merlin in the fantasy series Once Upon a Time. He also played one of the main roles in the mystery series American Gothic – alongside the later Homelander star Antony Starr.

The Boys Season 4 Cast: Rob Benedict plays Splinter

The appearance of the Supes Splinters may be short-lived, but it is particularly memorable. Firecracker’s best friend and assistant has the ability to multiply. In terms of his sexual kink, this creates a The Boys moment that we won’t soon forget. But Splinter’s weakness quickly becomes his undoing: when his original body (the Prime) dies, all copies of him die too.

With Rob Benedict Another star from Eric Kripke’s fantasy horror hit Supernatural has made it into the cast of The Boys. But not just any star, but “God” himself. Aside from Supernatural, Benedict has had many smaller guest roles in series. His most extensive appearance was in JJ Abrams’ and Matt Reeves’ youth series Felicity as the outspoken student Richard Coad.
