'The Boys' season four

Amazon Prime Video’s The Boys is back for its fourth season this week, but how many episodes are there going to be?

The superhero series, adapted from the comic books written by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson and developed for the screen by Eric Kripke, follows the titular team of vigilantes as they combat superpowered enemies who abuse their powers.

The show debuted back in 2019, with a second season arriving a year later and the third hitting streaming in 2022. The fourth season was confirmed that same year, and Prime Video recently confirmed that there will also be a fifth season.

Last month, the trailer for season four was released, in which the group’s leader Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) reveals that he’s running out of time to live due to a weakened heart as he rallies the gang for an assault on Homelander (Anthony Starr) and the supes community.

Watch the trailer below:

It is currently unclear whether the cast of the show’s spinoff series Gen V will make appearances in the upcoming series, after several key characters from The Boys cameoed in the debut season of Gen V.

Set in the same universe, Gen V is about to begin production on its second season. The show’s producers recently issued a statement that they will not be recasting the role of Andre Anderson after the untimely death of actor Chance Perdomo in March this year.

In a four-star review of the new season, NME wrote: “With season five already confirmed, the return of a few familiar faces and a lot of characters confronting their pasts, this season sometimes feels like the set up for an eventual endgame scenario. Fans will note that spin-off show Gen V recently introduced a potentially supe-killing biological weapon. Luckily, all that plot never slows down the pace in what is another urgent edition of TV’s best superhero show.”
