New Financial Year 2024/2025 Streaming - The Boys - Season Four

The fourth season of The Boys, is the darkest by far. It stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Cameron Crovetti.

With new cast Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Neegan, I mean the Walking Dead's Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Taking place six months after the events of the previous season, Victoria Neuman (Doumit) is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the control of Homelander (Starr), who is consolidating his power. With only months to live, Billy Butcher (Urban) must find a way to work with The Boys, who are fed up with his lies, if they want to save the world before it's too late.

The first three episodes were released on Amazon (with ad's - RAGING) mid June, with the finale streaming late lats week.

Critics have praised this season, for its action sequences, character development, dark humour, emotional depth, storyline, blend of political commentary and surrealism, unique combination of violence, humour and social commentary. The bold approach to tackling complex themes and pushing narrative boundaries is also noted this season. Back in May, ahead of the season commencing, the series was renewed for a fifth season and final season. With Gen V also still around. I feel this is a good thing with an end game in sight.

Following this, wild season. There is only so much more The Boys team can show us right? Homelander is completely out of control, A-Train is missing in action, The Deep is becoming a little out of control and The Boys are highly flawed. That said Butcher's foul mouth always entertains the inner 14 year old boy inside my middle-aged body.


SPOILERS AHEAD if you haven't done the finale yet! You have been warned!

While Butcher recovers, Mallory and Ryan visit him, where the latter is told of Homelander's crimes and that he must kill him. 

However, Ryan refuses, accidentally kills Mallory, and leaves, Butcher embraces his dark side of Kessler.

Homelander tasks the remaining Seven with eliminating everyone at Vought who has incriminating evidence against them; Ashley injects herself with V. 

While Frenchie develops the virus, The Boys monitor Singer in a bunker where they discover Annie is the shapeshifter and a fight ensues; the real Annie arrives and kills the shapeshifter. 

When Homelander reveals that Neuman is a Supe on air live, she calls on Hughie to protect her and Zoe in exchange for help. 

When The Boys and Neuman meet, Butcher arrives, kills Neuman with his new superpowers, and steals the virus. 

Sage reveals to Homelander that his plan has been a success when Singer is arrested for conspiring with The Boys to kill Neuman. 

Speaker of the House Steven Calhoun becomes the new President of the United States, swears allegiance to Homelander and declares martial law, delegating Homelander and his army of superhumans. 

The rest of The Boys are ambushed and captured by Vought troops led by Supes, but Annie manages to escape; Butcher leaves with the virus. 

Don't leave too early, we get a mid-credits scene, Calhoun shows Homelander where Soldier Boy is being held captive.

So the final season is set up to be a blockbuster season. How will it end? How will survive? This season had such a large death count. I can only imagine how crazy they will go in their final run!

Big Apple TV+ finale week. We will see the verdict on Presumed Innocent along with the sweet Land of Women concluding. See you then!
