The Boys Season 4 Premiere Window Confirmed - And It's A Long Wait

As far as comic book TV shows go, few have caught on quite like Prime Video's "The Boys." This ultra-violent, action-packed series full of superhero subversions has amassed a dedicated following, and even three seasons and multiple spin-off series deep, fans are still clamoring for the next installment. Since Season 3 ended, it's been a waiting game for information on when users can expect Prime Video to drop "The Boys" Season 4. The good news is that we finally have a release window for the next season. The bad news is that there's probably going to be a long wait until "The Boys" is back in town.

Several days after the "Gen V" Season 1 finale aired, the official "The Boys" account made a post on X (formerly Twitter) unveiling two new posters for Season 4, confirming it's slated to premiere sometime in 2024. No specifics on specific timing have been given beyond that, but seeing as previous seasons of "The Boys" have historically debuted around or just past the halfway point of their respective years, it stands to reason that fans will have to wait for the better part of 2024 to witness the show's return.

While "The Boys" Season 4 may still be a ways off, fans can rest assured that production for the new season is proceeding smoothly. In an interview with Variety, "The Boys" showrunner Eric Kripke noted that work on the new season was in motion. "Most of the editing is done, we're now deep into the music and visual effects," he said. "Marketing is starting to taxi their planes on the runway. There's a lot happening behind the scenes of 'The Boys' Season 4, I can say that."

Kripke had previously announced on his Twitter account that work on "The Boys" Season 4 was temporarily halted by the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, which concluded in late September. However, there is still a chance the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike could hold up the release of "The Boys" Season 4. Several stars, including Jack Quaid, are participating in the strike. While the primary filming period for Season 4 wrapped in April, the showrunner further noted that the team likely needs the actors to return for additional dialogue recording sessions.

All told, there are still some external factors that could potentially push "The Boys" Season 4 further back in 2024. For the time being, fans can get an early taste of the next installment by watching the "Gen V" Season 1 finale or by checking out "The Boys" stars' intriguing teases of Season 4.
