The Boys Season 4 Release Date, Plot, Cast and More

The premiere date for The Boys Season 4, which was renewed on June 10, 2022, has yet to be announced, but the season began filming in August 2022. There have been no further announcements concerning the fourth season of the superhero series, and important details are still unknown. We know that Nathan Mitchell will continue playing Black Noir despite the death of the superhero in season 3. The Boys creator Eric Kripke said this replacement Black Noir is a “whole new, fascinating and hilarious character,” the opposite of the silent and emotionless Black Noir we have seen in previous seasons. The Boys Season 4 is expected to premiere in Summer 2023.

In the meantime, here is everything else we know about The Boys

The Boys Season 4 Plot

The Boys Season 4 Plot
The Boys Season 4 Plot

The Boys is about a group of vigilantes led by Butcher, a civilian with an intense hatred for superheroes. They are determined to destroy a corrupt team of influential superheroes who abuse their power. With a powerful conglomerate called Vought International behind the Supes, it will be challenging for The Boys to finish their mission. The series tells a “Never meet your heroes” story using riveting scenes, plotlines, and twists.

The Boys is a fun and irreverent take on what happens when superheroes—as famous as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods—abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. Intent on stopping the corrupt superheroes, The Boys, a group of vigilantes, continue their heroic quest to expose the truth about The Seven and Vought. This multibillion-dollar conglomerate manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. It’s the seemingly powerless against the super-powerful. – Sony Pictures
