To know more about The Boys season 4 release date, read ahead!
The Boys season 3 has all been about fathers.
Thanks to Ryan (Cameron Crovetti), the child of Homelander and Billy Butcher’s late wife Becca, the third season finale of the Amazon Prime Video series officially began the next stage of their continuous conflict.
All season long, Butcher tried to keep the youngster away from his biological father, but Ryan ultimately decided to board a plane with Homelander on July 8. Bam!
In the last scene, Homelander introduces Ryan to a rally of his fans. Then, when a critic of Homelander hurled something at Ryan, the superhuman killed the man out of the blue with his laser eyes, much to the pleasure of the crowd.
In this last twisted shot, Ryan could be seen slowly grinning as he watched his father receive thunderous applause from the crowd. What did the youthful supes’ appearance indicate then?
This shocking cliffhanger might have left viewers in anticipation of what comes next – and we’ve rounded up everything we know so far about the future of the series.
The Boys season 4 release date: When will it return on Prime Video?
“I’m a big believer in cliffhangers and people sometimes say to me, ‘Can’t you just end a season with a happy ending?'” showrunner Eric Kripke exclusively told E!. “No one wants to tune back in off a happy ending! They want to tune back in off of an ‘Oh shit! What’s going to happen now?!’ That was a hint that Ryan’s soul is at risk and he has to be saved because if it doesn’t he’s really going to go into a dark place.”

We are aware of what we have from the conclusion of Season 3, and it is truly quite a bit.
Butcher has been given 12 to 18 months to live after consuming an excessive amount of Temp-V, which has essentially converted his brain into Swiss cheese.
Who knows where we will be in that chronology when Season 4 resumes.

Perhaps more concerning is the fact that Homelander lasered the head off of a protester into a million pieces at the end of Season 3 while his adoring fans cheered him on. What kind of a precedent is this? Not good at all!
Ryan, Homelander’s son who had been following him since the altercation with Soldier Boy and Butcher, also attended this particular event. All this not good at all!
Victoria Neumann is running as Dakota Bob Singer’s vice president. The Deep assassinated the latter running mate on Homelander’s behalf, paving the path for this to happen.
Victoria Neumann now has Stan Edgar out of the way and has simplified power for Homelander. Ahead of the most powerful position in the free world by just one head pop, according to the head-popper. Many things to look into, people.
The Boys season 4 trailer: When can we see a teaser?
It’s difficult to guess what the upcoming season four trailer will look like as we don’t own any time travel talents of our own. However, keep coming back here as we’ll keep you informed with all the latest information regarding The Boys season 4 on Prime Video. You can watch the tralier of season 3 below.
A Spin-off in the Making
A spin-off of The Boys now known as The Boys Presents: Varsity, or just Varsity, was ordered back in 2020 and is now under production. In an interview with Deadline, The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke made it clear that the two shows will be happening in conjunction with one another.
“There’s definitely crossover, and we’re doing our best to design a universe that sees some of the issues and storylines in Season 3 hand off to the first season in Varsity. Like there’s a presidential campaign happening in the background of that season, and there’s certain things that are happening at that school that are both in reaction to Season 3 of The Boys. There’s Soldier Boy, etcetera, but also some new storylines that are happening in that season of the spinoff that we have to pick up and take into Season 4 of the show.”
