Only one week after the three-episode premiere of the third season, Amazon Prime Video smelled the success and already renewed The Boys for the fourth season, which was always expected, but TVLine definitely confirms it.

Based on Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s homonymous comic book, The Boys series first premiered in July 2019, and the second season premiered in September 2020. The series received critical acclaim for its writing, storyline, humor, and the performances, particularly of Karl Urban, who plays Billy Butcher, and Antony Starr, who plays Butcher’s mortal enemy Homelander, a psychopathic superhero who isn’t what the public thinks he is, and only Butcher’s team can uncover the secrets and corruption behind Vought, a company which monetized the Seven, a group of not-really-good superheroes led by the psychopathic supe Homelander.

The third season premiered last Friday with the first three episodes, and the fourth episode dropped on Prime Video today. New episodes will keep dropping every Friday until the season finale on July 8. Amazon revealed that, in the first three days, the third season had 17% more viewership than Season 2 and 234% more than Season 1, which shows the popularity of the series is still increasing.

The showrunner Eric Kripke shared a statement following the Season 4 announcement:

“Speaking for the cast and crew, we’re so grateful to Sony, Amazon, and most of all the fans for embracing the show and allowing us to make more. We’re thrilled to continue Butcher and the Boys’ fight against Homelander and the Seven, as well as comment on the insane world we’re living in. Also, this is the first time in history that exploding genitalia has led to further success.” — Eric Kripke

The first four episodes of The Boys Season 3 can now be streamed on Amazon Prime Video.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
