Brace yourselves, mates – the unhinged, ultraviolent world of ‘The Boys’ is about to get even more chaotic. The full trailer for season 4 of Prime Video’s smash hit superhero satire has arrived, teasing new bloody mayhem, surprise crossovers, and the potential fall of Homelander’s corrupt empire.
The trailer kicks off with an ominous voiceover from vigilante leader Billy Butcher, setting the tone: “I look back at my life…and all I see are the messes I made.” Those infamous messes appear to be multiplying exponentially judging by the rapid-fire montage of supes battling, chickens exploding from bodies, and sheep being torn apart mid-air.
But the most tantalizing revelation is Butcher’s new plan to end Homelander’s reign of carnage – a supe-killing virus introduced in the recent Prime Video spinoff ‘Gen V.’ “I’ve found a virus that kills supes,” Butcher grins, as the trailer shows him examining an infected leg preserved on ice, likely extracted from the tunnels beneath Godolkin University.
The virus plotline bridges the narrative between the two shows, confirming long-suspected crossover between ‘Gen V’ and the flagship series. Eagle-eyed fans will spot brief appearances from ‘Gen V’ favorites Sam, Cate, and A-Train, suggesting their allegiance may have shifted to Homelander after the violent events on campus.
On the other side, anti-supe freedom fighters like Marie could potentially join forces with Butcher, setting up an explosive confrontation between the two factions. As a menacing Homelander declares with villainous bravado, “This country is corrupt…so we gotta save it. It’s not gonna be easy, we’ll have to do some terrible things.”
The trailer also teases a mysterious new character played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who ominously tells Butcher, “We need someone like you, Billy. Before the supes start rounding us up and dumping us off in camps.” His words hint at chilling real-world parallels and escalating conflicts ahead.
When it premieres on June 13th, ‘The Boys’ season 4 looks poised to raise the bloody, provocative stakes even higher. By merging with the ‘Gen V’ universe and introducing a potential supe extermination weapon, the series seems determined to take its brutal satire to explosive new heights of social relevance.
Butcher’s messes are only getting messier – and fans wouldn’t have it any other way. The supes’ downfall may finally be inevitable…if humanity can survive the unavoidable collateral damage first.
