“The Boys” are back in town. The R-rated superhero series returns to Prime Video for its fifth season this Thursday, June 13. In order to stream the series, and the newest episodes, you’ll have to sign up for a Prime Video account, currently offering a 30-day free trial.
The fourth season of the Emmy-winning drama debuted with three episodes on Thursday night and will continue to air with weekly installments until its season finale on July 18.
Per the official description for the new season: “In Season Four, the world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power. Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son and his job as The Boys’ leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it’s too late.”
The new season also introduces new supes Sister Sage (Susan Heyward) and Firecracker (Valorie Curry) and new CIA agent Kessler (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) amid the ongoing battle for the soul of Homelander’s son, Ryan (Cameron Crovetti). Meanwhile, Annie (Erin Morarity) distances herself from her Starlight persona, and Hughie (Jack Quaid) works through his relationship with a dying Butcher as they attempt to assassinate Neuman before the inauguration (on President-elect Singer’s orders).
Ahead of the fourth season, showrunner Erik Kripke announced this week that the show would end with its fifth season. Kripke had previously said he wanted at least five seasons to tell the story so the news isn’t necessarily breaking for diehard fans
“The Boys” has also spawned multiple spinoff projects at Amazon, including animated anthology “The Boys Presents: Diabolical” and live-action supehero college series “Gen V,” which is in production on its second season, as well as two other projects currently in development, one set in Mexico and the other just announced by Kripke.
In her review of the latest season, Variety TV critic Alison Herman wrote that the show “suffers growing pains in its darkest season yet.”
“While the show began primarily as a parody of oppressively dominant superhero franchised, it’s become an indictment of an overlapping series of systems and the noxious ideology that underlies them,” she writes. “Season 4 starts to show the strain of that effort, both on the viewer’s tolerance for despair and the series itself.”
