‘The Boys’ are Back with a Season 4 Teaser

Preview:

The first teaser for ‘The Boys’ Season 4 is online.
It’ll be set shortly after events of spin-off ‘Gen V’.
‘The Boys’ returns in 2024.

‘The Boys’ universe continues to expand ever outwards, with recent college-set spin-off ‘Gen V’ successfully ending its first season (and already renewed for a second), animated series ‘Diabolical’ out in the world and a potential new spin-off set in Mexico in very early development (with Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal attached to produce and potentially take small roles).

But we know that fans are eager to know what’s going on with Billy Butcher, Homelander and the rest. So now we have a look at the sort of madness we can expect via the first teaser for ‘The Boys’ next season.

In Season Four, the world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power. Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son as well as his job as The Boys’ leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it’s too late.

For those who have yet to see the first season finale of ‘Gen V’, a quick spoiler alert!

Otherwise, carry on to read what series overseer Eric Kripke had to say to Variety about the links between the ‘Gen V’ season finale and the fourth season of the main series:

“For Butcher, by the time they were making the finale, we were pretty deep into breaking Season 4. We knew that we wanted that virus to be a pretty big part of Season 4, and we knew that we wanted Butcher to be aware of it. It seems crazy that he wouldn’t be aware of it. It became kind of tricky, because how do we show that he knows about it without it just being dialogue? This idea came up that it probably shouldn’t even happen in The Boys, it should happen in Gen V. The value of having the [two shows’ writers] rooms be in coordination is, our room took it to Michele and her room and said, ‘Can we put Butcher in the end, so we can show that he’s really hot on the tail of the virus?’ It was really cool because it does a nice little preamble to what’s coming next. And Karl and Ant both were willing to come in on their days off to go work on the other show. But the Homelander part was Michele’s team.”

When will ‘The Boys’ be back on our TV screens?

According to Prime Video, ‘The Boys’ doesn’t have a locked in return date, but that it will be on screens next year.
