The first three episodes of The Boys are available on Prime Video. But bad news awaits fans of the series which will launch this season 4.
The Boys have made their return to Prime Video. Season 4 of the trashy and irreverent superhero series aired its first three episodes this Thursday, before discovering the rest weekly until July 18. But the good news of the series’ return was accompanied by bad news for fans: the series will soon end.
The creator of The Boys, Eric Kripke, announced just before the launch of season 4 that the end of the series would arrive at the end of the fifth season. “It was always my plan, but I couldn’t say anything until I had Vought’s approval,” he wrote on the social network X. “I can’t wait to bring a gory, epic conclusion and wet to this story. Watch season 4, because it’s the beginning of the end” of the story between the Protector and Butcher. Fans will still have a bit of a break before saying goodbye to The Seven, but keep in mind that Prime Video is currently streaming the penultimate season of the series.
At this time, we do not know when the final season will be broadcast. The writing of season 5 of The Boys has indeed begun, with the start of filming scheduled for November 2024. It therefore seems unlikely that we will be able to discover the end of the series before the second half of 2025. We will have to wait for an official date before being set . And in the meantime, it is possible to enjoy this fourth season, or the spin-off series Diabolical And Gen V.
The recap of The Boys season 3
In the last episodes of The Boys, our heroes think they will find the weapon capable of killing the Protector: Super Boy, a former super who was, in his time, the most powerful of all. To control it, Hughie and Butcher make a radical decision: inject themselves with V24, a substance derived from compound V (which allows the creation of a Super), but whose duration does not exceed 24 hours. Butcher and Super Boy then make a deal, while the latter discovers that he is the father of the Protector. But Butcher having abused V24, his days are now numbered, and he only has a few months to live.
For his part, the Protector finished season 4 of The Boys in a bloody way. After being exposed by Starlight (who has officially joined the Boys) twice about all the bloodthirsty acts he may have committed, he is cornered but manages to convince his son Ryan to join his cause. While an activist throws an empty plastic bottle in his son’s face to protest, Super kills him with a laser beam, in the eyes of the public, before being cheered by conspirators, who he makes believe that Starlight is human trafficking.
We also learn in season 3 that Victoria Neuman is herself a Supe, who is capable of manipulating blood. She makes a deal with the Protector which opens her way to a prominent position to become president. Victoria Neuman also injected her daughter, Zoe, with Compound V to make her a Super. At the same time, several characters die at the end of season 3: Black Noir (who will however return in another version in season 4), Queen Maeve has left and pretends to be dead and Super Boy, who has however been cryogenically frozen. .
In the cast of this fourth season, we find the memorable faces of The Boys: Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit , and Cameron Crovetti all come back. And some new faces will spice things up, like Susan Heyward (Powers), Valorie Curry (Blair Witch), and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Walking Dead).
The Boys has been keeping Prime Video subscribers in suspense for three seasons already. And it’s not about to stop: season 4 of The Boys is coming out on Prime Video very soon. It is from June 13, 2024 that Amazon subscribers will be able to discover the rest of the confrontation between the Boys and the Protector. Three episodes will be broadcast on this date, before discovering a new episode per week until the finale, Thursday July 18.
