What Storylines Do Fans Want To See In The Boys Season 4?

From what Operation Charly really is to Gunpowder’s true identity, every season of The Boys features fascinating mysteries and strong character development. Fans have thoughts about the storylines they hope to see in The Boys season 4. It’s clear that Billy the Butcher will continue to play a prominent role. Redditor @ironkrylon wrote that:

“Butcher will gradually slide into villainy – they’ll keep it in check for S5.”

In a separate thread, Redditor @Quinoa_Sharks_Fans agreed that Butcher could become evil. They wrote, “I think Butcher will go down a darker path and more desperate to kill supes / get the virus so maybe Ryan’s defection will be to the other boys – the focus will probably be less on who Ryan turns to and more so on how him leaving makes Homelander snap.”

Redditor @BOGMANDIAS has some thoughts about Homelander, the leader of the powerful group The Seven. They wrote:

“I believe that Homelander will become more focused on his ideas of supremacy which will lead him to try to control the United States and eventually implement a government system where supes control the system. But I think his partnership with Victoria will fail because of himself or because of The Boys, which will lead him to literally attempt a coup, which should be the focus of the fifth season.”

Several fans think that in The Boys season 4, Homelander will die. Others think that Homelander could be the President.

When Will The Boys Season 4 Premiere?

The Boys season 4 will premiere on June 13th, 2024. According to Variety, three episodes of The Boys will be available on Amazon Prime Video on that date. After that, one new episode will air each week. The Boys season 4 finale will be available for streaming on July 18th, 2024, and season 4 will have 8 episodes.

As Variety reported, the official plot summary of The Boys season 4 said that “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.” Since Homelander is such a strong character in The Boys, it will be interesting to see what happens to him.

In July 2023, Jack Quaid, who plays Hughie Campbell, talked about The Boys season 4 in an interview with Esquire. He said:

“It’s my favorite season we’ve ever shot. It’s a very intense season. You really get to mine the depth of every character—and it still has those What just happened?! moments. Audiences are still going to be surprised and will be really into the direction that it takes. We take some chances that I think are really awesome. It’s our best one yet.”

What Happens In The Boys Seasons 1-3?

Seasons 1 through 3 of The Boys are action-packed, which is why it’s hard to wait for The Boys season 4. In season 1, Hughie Campbell becomes part of The Boys to avenge his girlfriend’s death. In season 3, Billy the Butcher decides to use V, a compound that allows him to have powers for a period of 24 hours, and this will likely be a significant part of The Boys season 4.

Hughie is an important character who always remembers the pain he felt after his girlfriend’s death and finds a new purpose in life. In season 2, Hughie works for the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs head Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit). This is a crucial set-up for The Boys season 4. When Claudia Doumit spoke to Entertainment Weekly about The Boys spin-off Gen V, she recommended watching Gen V before The Boys season 4. She explained:

“It was great to shoot Gen V because they tee up a lot of stuff that’s going to happen in season 4 for The Boys . Gen V lays a lot of the groundwork and a lot of the foundations that season 4 will be built on for The Boys . So, watch it because it gives you a lot of information.”
