The Boys season 4 is shaping up to be one of the biggest and most explosive yet, but there are still a few episodes still to come out ahead of the season finale. The Boys is a superhero series with a difference. Unlike the typical Marvel and DC projects from large Hollywood studios, The Boys tries to offer a more grounded look at the ups and downs of having superpeople in a morally imperfect society. With greed, lust, anger and every one of the seven deadly sins, supes don’t always come out looking or feeling all that heroic.

The series was created by Eric Kripke, creator of the popular CW series, Supernatural, for Amazon Prime. Since it debuted on Prime Video in 2019, it has become one of the most watched titles on the platform (via Variety). Inspired by a series of comics by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys’ brand of ultra-violent, no-holds-barred show delights and occasionally disgusts its audience as it pushes the envelope with each new episode.

The Boys season 4, episode 4 “Wisdom of the Ages” concluded with Starlight brutally beating Firecracker over a live stream.

The Boys Season 4’s Release Schedule In Full

The End Of The Show Is Coming Fast

With The Boys season 4 already halfway through its penultimate series, there are just four episodes remaining. As mentioned above, the final episodes of the series will continue to be released on Amazon Prime Video every Thursday until the final episode drops on July 18. This will conclude season 4, but open the door for the story to continue in Gen V season 2, ahead of the final season.

The Boys season 4 is quickly racing towards the epic conclusion of season 4, but with season 5 concluding the series for good, the stage is being set for an epic finale. While the show has the potential to breathe new life into the universe with The Boys spin-off shows like Gen V, the story of Billy Butcher, Hughie Campbell, and the rest of The Boys is set to end, one way or another. How things look ahead of the series ultimate conclusion remains to be seen, but the explosive conclusion of The Boys is almost at hand.
