The world’s most popular superhero satire series is back as Prime Video just dropped a new trailer for The Boys Season 4. The teaser trailer offers an effective sneak peek at the Supes and the Boys as they continue their battle against the corrupt superhero organization, The Seven. Let’s break down the trailer and explore all details about the upcoming The Boys Season 4 including cast, crew and release date.
Talking points from Season 4’s trailer
The trailer opens with some interesting moral questions about how democracies often fail due to people’s stupidity and all someone has to do is to nudge them a little so that they can swoop in and pretend like they saved the day. The stage couldn’t have been set any better for Homelander’s return in the fourth season.
The shocking anti-hero played by Anthony Starr is pitted against Victoria Neuman as they both run for President. We also get quick glimpses of all fan favorite characters such as Starlight (Annie) who shifted allegiance to The Boys, and Billy Butcher who has only months left to live.
The Seven face their own share of internal conflicts and power struggles and two new Supes, Sister Sage and Firecracker (from Gen V) are exciting prospects in the upcoming season. But the most standout addition is Jeffrey Dean Morgan who sits across the table from Karl Urban’s Butcher and mocks the name choice of The Boys.
Plot details of The Boys Season 4
The trailer also impressed fans thanks to hinting at its connections with its recent college-set spinoff ‘Gen V’ and the animated ‘Diabolical’ series. In fact, Billy Butcher is seen next to a cutout of Polarity, the father of Andre Anderson from the spinoff. There’s a chance that Season 4 might also tease the rumored The Boys: Mexico.
As things stand after the ending of Gen V’s first season, The Woods facility is exposed and Homelander works in sync with Vought International to mask their mistakes. Sam and Cate are now America’s white knights as the true heroes Godolkin University are in exile. The Supe-killing virus is also a looming threat.
Cast, Crew, Release Date, and More
The cast members of The Boys Season 4 includes returning regulars such as Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Claudia Doumit, Laz Alonso and Karen Fukuhara among others. Newcomers include Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Susan Heyward and Valorie Curry.
When we all wanted a release date, but get “coming soon” instead.
