Executive producer Erik Kripke took to Twitter to give fans an update regarding The Boys Season 4 release. Kripke confirmed that the long-awaited return of Amazon’s hit R-rated superhero series has been affected by the ongoing writers strike. The Season 4 premiere will depend on “how long the WGA strike goes,” as the showrunner urges fans to tell studios “make a fair deal” with the writers.
In addition, when a fan asked how does the strike affect The Boys Season 4 even though it had already wrapped its production, Kripke revealed there’s still “a good amount of dialogue we [they] write in post that the actors come back to record (called ADR), to help bridge story gaps or clarify a plot point.” He stressed that writing is must at “every stage of the process.”
Who’s the Cast of The Boys
The Boys Season 4 will feature the return of Jack Quaid, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, and Karl Urban, along with Erin Moriarty, Antony Starr, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Chace Crawford, Nathan Mitchell, Claudia Doumit, Colby Minifie, Simon Pegg, and Cameron Crovetti. They will be joined by series newcomers Valorie Curry (The Tick), Susan Heyward (Orange is the New Black), Rosemarie DeWitt (The Staircase), Rob Benedict (Supernatural), and Elliot Knight (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II), with DeWitt tapped for the role of Hughie’s mom.
The Boys is an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes — who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods — abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It’s the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about the supergroup known as “The Seven.” The show retains most of the comics’ boundary-pushing violence and sexuality while exploring the dark side of superhero celebrity and fame.
The series, based on the comic book series created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, is created by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen — who are also responsible for AMC’s Preacher — and Supernatural creator Eric Kripke.
Seasons 1 to 3 are available for streaming on Prime Video.
