The Boys’ eight-episode fourth season will stream exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Speaking on the news, Amazon MGM Studios Head of Television Vernon Sanders said via a press release, “The Boys is an unabashed and bold series that continues captivating our customers all over the world by piercing the cultural fabric season after season.”

Series showrunner Eric Kripke also added on the announcement, “The Boys could be the best job I’ll ever have. What other show allows me to write about politics, capitalism, family, and exploding genitalia, though not in that order.” The writer and producer went on, “The cast and crew are deeply grateful to Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios for the opportunity to tell this story for another season. My only problem is that since this year promises to be free of any conflict or misinformation, we’re not sure what to write about.”
Meanwhile, Sony Pictures Television Studios Katherine Pope also weighed in on the news, stating, “Since its premiere, devoted fans across the globe have been down with The Boys for this unapologetically wild ride, and we couldn’t be more proud of our producers, writers, cast, and crew who bring this genius insanity to life. Now, with a fifth chapter to their story, we can’t wait to see where Eric Kripke and The Boys go next.”
