The fourth season of Prime Video’s action series, The Boys, is on its way soon. Amazon has released the news that the show was already renewed for a fifth season, and its creator Eric Kripke (Supernatural, Gen V, Revolution) has some news about the fifth season to share with fans, Comicbook.com reports. During an interview with ScreenRant, the showrunner was asked about his season five plans.
“Even I don’t. I mean, we’re about a month into the writers room right now, so we have some pretty cool notions,” Kripke teased via Comicbook.com. “It’s a very raw lava-esque deal right now. It hasn’t hardened into anything, but I’m excited. I think there’s some crazy sh*t’s been talked about, that’s for sure.”
In the fourth season of The Boys, according to Comicbook.com, the character Victoria Neuman is close to achieving her goal of reaching the Oval Office under the leadership skills of Homelander, who is slowly becoming powerful. Butcher has only a few months left to live and has lost his job as leader of The Boys. Furthermore, he has lost Becca’s son and his job as The Boys‘ leader. Now, the team must work together to save the world and ensure this doesn’t happen again.
Furthermore, Kripke, in an interview with Variety, has shared his desire to add Jared Padalecki (House Of Wax, Gilmore Girls, Friday The 13th), who was on Supernatural for 15 seasons, alongside The Boys‘ series regular Jensen Ackles (The Winchesters, Tracker, Big Sky), to their stellar cast. “He’s been busy the last few years, so schedules haven’t worked out,” Kripke shared to Variety, regarding to Padalecki’s role on the CW series Walker, which just got canceled by the network after four consecutive seasons. “But now, unfortunately, [‘Walker’] got canceled — but the good thing is he’s free. And I feel like I have to complete my game of ‘Supernatural’ Pokémon and I have my one big one — very big one — left to catch.”
Kriple also told Comicbook.com, “In our minds, it’s only couple of days after whatever the events are of Gen V.” In a separate interview with Variety, Kripke was asked about the events that will unfold in the fourth season, he said, “We try to keep the timeline super simple because all that folding-in-on-itself timeline stuff that I think other comic book universes find themselves having to do is just bewildering for me as viewer. So it’s all very modular. It’s like there’s Season three of The Boys, and then after that Gen V takes place, and then after that The Boys Season four takes place. And then after that, Gen V Season two takes place. It’s all more like cars on a train than it is a plate of spaghetti.” (via Comicbook.com)
The fourth season of The Boys will be released on June 13th on Prime Video.
