The Boys is returning for Season 4, and here’s everything we know so far including the release date, cast, plot, and answers to more of the biggest questions. As the superhero craze continues across Hollywood, primarily through Marvel and DC, Amazon has been putting its own stamp on the genre through The Boys, a far more twisted take on a world filled with super-powered people.
The Boys Season 4 Release: When Will It Come Out?

As Amazon will already return to the world of The Boys this year in Gen V, Season 4 won’t debut until 2024, especially since filming for the next batch of outrageous episodes only just wrapped up in April. Despite filming having concluded, showrunner Eric Kripke confirmed on Twitter in June that development had been halted due to the writers’ strike, which has since come to an end with a fresh deal with the studios. Season 4 could premiere in March, but will more likely arrive sometime in the summer. New episodes will likely drop on a weekly basis.
