Warning: Very minor spoilers ahead for The Boys season 4, episode 6, “Dirty Business.”

The Boys season 4, episode 7, “The Insider” will appear on Prime Video on July 11, 2024, but the time it debuts will depend on timezones. “The Insider” is the penultimate episode of The Boys, meaning all four runs will eventually be equal at eight episodes each. The Boys season 4 finale is shaping up to have a thoroughly explosive finish, but “The Insider” still needs to air before the latest set of episodes can conclude.

The ending of The Boys season 4, episode 6, “Dirty Business,” brought with it a crazy Billy Butcher plot twist that “The Insider” will need to address. However, the stories penned for the cast of The Boys season 4 have been so unpredictable that the show could take several different routes before returning to Karl Urban’s terminally ill persona. Thankfully, it won’t be long before fans can lay their eyes on “The Insider.”

“The Insider” goes live on July 11

Like all the previous episodes in The Boys season 4, “The Insider” will be available simultaneously across several timezones. For those who abide by Pacific Time, the penultimate episode of The Boys season 4 will be available to stream from 12am. However, in Eastern Time, this equates to 3am on the same day. So, it’s important for viewers to double-check their figures before getting their hopes up ahead of schedule. UK viewers can fire up Prime Video at 8am BST, also on July 11, to see what happens in “The Insider.”

The Boys hasn’t always used the weekly release schedule. When The Boys season 1 aired in 2019, all eight episodes appeared on Prime at the same time. Shows can have various reasons for changing a release structure, but The Boys has only done this once. For the next three seasons of The Boys, Prime Video has released the first three episodes at once before releasing the remaining five on a weekly basis.

How Long Each The Boys Season 4 Episode Is

The Prime Video timestamps reveal that all episodes in The Boys season 4 before “The Insider” have been relatively consistent. They all clock in around the one-hour mark, with only a few minutes each side between installments. The longest so far has been The Boys season 4, episode 5, “Beware the Jabberwock, My Son,” which is listed as 1 hour and 8 minutes long on Amazon’s streaming platform.

It’s unclear how “The Insider” will compare with its season 4 predecessors in terms of how long it will run for. On one hand, it could continue to be roughly one hour. However, some shows can have longer episodes as the story draws to a close. The Boys seasons 1-3 didn’t tend to follow this trend, but there’s always the possibility that the comic book adaptation chooses to end its current run by bucking a long-standing pattern.

The Boys is a superhero/dark comedy satire series created by Eric Kripke based on the comic series of the same name. Set in a “what-if” world that reveres superheroes as celebrities and gods who experience minimal repercussions for their actions. However, one group of vigilantes headed by a vengeance-obsessed man named Billy Butcher will fight back against these super-charged “heroes” to expose them for what they are.
