Prime Video landed a masterstroke with the satirical superhero television series called The Boys. The show has been monumental in portraying a world of twisted vigilantes and has become a fan favorite since it first aired. Despite leaving fans on a cliffhanger with unanswered questions from season 3, Eric Kripke's sudden announcement of a fifth-season conclusion has raised eyebrows about the fate of its fourth installment. 

With three successful seasons under its belt, it appears The Boys has already faced a setback before its grand finale. 

Prior to the premiere of The Boys season 4, showrunner Eric Kripke announced that the R-rated superhero series would conclude with its fifth season in a post on X, which included a redacted copy of the script for season 4's finale. However, shortly after these announcements, The Boys debuted with a Tomatometer score of 80% for its fourth season, marking the lowest approval rating so far for any season of the show.

The Boys Season 1 premiered with an 85% Tomatometer score and a 90% audience score. Season 2 achieved a high rating of 97% on the Tomatometer but received 83% from the audience. Season 3 continued the trend with a 98% Tomatometer score and a 75% audience score. While the fourth season lacks an audience score, it appears to be the sole glimmer of hope amidst declining ratings.

The Boys season 4 is headed towards darker times and it is a must that fans familiarize themselves before the show hits on Prime Video.

When the first trailer for the fourth season of The Boys dropped, fans were thrilled to see the return of Antony Starr and Karl Urban. However, with the upcoming season receiving an unprecedentedly low rating on Tomatometer, the fate of the series now rests in the hands of its fans. For those unfamiliar with the details of the upcoming season, here is a comprehensive overview. According to reports, season 4 of this fan-favorite show will premiere on June 13.

On the debut date, three episodes are expected to be released. Subsequently, a new episode will be released each week. Furthermore, the season finale is scheduled for Thursday, June 18. Additionally, newcomers to the existing cast include Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. With The Boys returning in full force, expectations are already high for season 4.
