Kripke hinted atThe Boys season 5 on his Twitter. Kripke revealed that season 4 filming had been underway since August of last year and was nearing completion. Kripke assured fansThe Boysseason 4 finale would not be the series finale and poked fun at the lack of a release date in the process. “Cause you’re asking!” Kripke said. “We’ve been shooting since late August. I’m here to prep & direct the Season 4 finale. No, not the series finale, there will be more! Most importantly, S4 premieres… at some point in the future in our discernible reality.”
Despite the events of the season 3 finale, aThe Boysseason 4 teaserreveals Vought’s supe business is better than ever, despite facing some heavy losses last season. Queen Maeve (Dominique McElligot) was presumed dead after joining the Boys, Starlight (Erin Moriarty) also defected to the Boys, Black Noir (Nathan Mitchell) was killed trying to take down Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), and Homelander (Antony Starr) publicly killed a protestor. Former CEO Stan Edgar (Giancarlo Esposito) was also imprisoned for his crimes.
Interestingly,Mitchell appears to be back forThe Boysseason 4.While it’s unknown in what capacity he’ll be back, signs seem to point to a return for Black Noir. If the character does return, that would speak to his durability. Homelander brutally dispatched Black Noir in a manner that not even Homelander could survive. As revealed last season, Black Noir isn’t exactly a normal supe - if such a thing exists - as he’s ageless and missing part of his brain.
The Boysis also set to introducea new spin-off titledGen V.That series is set at a college for aspiring superheroes and dives into the supe’s point of view. While the Boys are dedicated to fighting corrupt supes, the characters inGen Vwill attempt to join the wider supe society.
