Season four of Prime Video’s twisted superhero series The Boys is set to premiere on June 13, 2024 with the unveiling of the first three episodes. But the streamer isn’t waiting to see how it’s received. Today, Prime Video announced they’ve renewed the series for a fifth season.

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,” stated said Vernon Sanders, head of television, 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.”

The eight-episode fourth season will wrap up on July 18, 2024.

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,” said Eric Kripke, showrunner. “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.”

Returning series stars include Karl Urban as Billy Butcher, Jack Quaid as Hughie Campbell, Antony Starr as Homelander, Erin Moriarty as Starlight, Jessie T. Usher as A-Train, Laz Alonso as Mother’s Milk, and Chace Crawford as The Deep. Tomer Capone is Frenchie, Karen Fukuhara is Kimiko, Colby Minifie is Ashley, Claudia Doumit is Victoria Neuman, and Cameron Crovetti plays Ryan.

Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan joined the cast for the upcoming fourth season.

The series is based on Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s bestselling comic. Eric Kripke developed the show and serves as executive producer and showrunner. Additional executive producers include Ennis, Robertson, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, and Pavun Shetty. Phil Sgriccia, Michaela Starr, Paul Grellong, David Reed, Meredith Glynn, Judalina Neira, Ken F. Levin, and Jason Netter also executive produce.

The Boys is produced by Sony Pictures Television, Amazon MGM Studios with Kripke Enterprises, Original Film, and Point Grey Pictures.

“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 and his job as The Boys’ leader,” reads Prime Video’s synopsis. “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.”
