Prime Video mega-hit The Boys renewed for fifth season

May 16, 2024 by EJ Moreno

The Boys is one of the biggest modern-day superhero IPs, and if you thought they’d end now, you don’t know the power of Homelander.

As part of Amazon’s first-ever upfront presentation, the series based on Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s comic book has scored a fifth-season pickup at Prime Video.

Showrunner Eric Kripke exclaims, “The Boys could be the best job I’ll ever have. What other show allows me to write about politics, capitalism, family, and exploding genitalia, though not in that order. The cast and crew are deeply grateful to Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios for the opportunity to tell this story for another season. My only problem is that since this year promises to be free of any conflict or misinformation, we’re not sure what to write about.”

“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,” said Vernon Sanders, head of television for Amazon MGM Studios. “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.”

Check out the Season 4 poster and trailer below…

The Boys stars 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. Season Four welcomes back Simon Pegg, and adds Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan to the cast. Check out the trailer below…

The Boys is a fun and irreverent take on what happens when superheroes—who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods—abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. Intent on stopping the corrupt superheroes, The Boys, a group of vigilantes, continue their heroic quest to expose the truth about The Seven and Vought—the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. It’s the seemingly powerless against the super powerful.

Season 4 of The Boys streams from June 13th on Prime Video.
