Prime Video has greenlit superhero-themed The Boys for a fifth season, one month ahead of its fourth season premiere on June 13. The announcement was made as part of Amazon’s inaugural upfront presentation on Tuesday.
“The Boys is an unabashed and bold series that continues captivating our customers all over the world by piercing the cultural fabric season after season,” Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon MGM Studios said in a statement. “We are proud of this series that has grown into a global franchise, and we are thrilled that Eric Kripke and the creative team have more engaging stories to tell for all the loyal fans.”
The eight-episode fourth season of The Boys premieres on June 13 with three episodes, followed by a new episode each week, ending with the season finale on July 18.
In Season 4, 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 and 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.
