The Boys Season 4 is expected to be released in the middle of 2024, once the current WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes are settled peacefully. However, no official date has been revealed just yet.
The series’ director, Eric Kripke, once tweeted that season 4 will only be released after the strikes end. However, until today, the situation doesn’t seem to get any better.
The upcoming season has wrapped up filming, but due to the strikes, the crew can’t do any reshoots. Luckily, fans still have the spinoff series Gen-V to watch while waiting for the big show.

As expected, the roster for The Boys Season 4 is star-studded, with fan-favorite performers such as Anthony Starr, Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, and Erin Moriarty reprising their iconic roles. Some new additions, like Valorie Curry and Susan Heyward, have been added to the team as well.
However, fans are disheartened to learn that Dominique McElligot isn’t included in Season 4’s cast. Portraying the villain-turn-anti-hero Queen Maeve, McElligot captures the audience’s hearts with her incredible acting and unrivaled beauty.
At the end of Season 3, Maeve, having lost her power from fighting Soldier Boy, retires from the frontline and goes into hiding, starting a new life. Many people believe this is her last appearance in the franchise.

The Boys Season 4's Plot: What To Expect?

According to Kripke, the overall plot for Season 4 will focus on Billy Butcher and Homelander’s tug-of-war battle to claim the latter’s son, Ryan. At the end of Season 3, with newfound allies, The Boys regroup to defeat their ultimate enemies, the Seven, once and for all.
The Supes now side with Victoria Neuman, who successfully landed the Vice President position thanks to some dirty tricks. The new alliance makes the villainous groups stronger than ever. The Boys, on the other hand, while gaining Starlight as a new member, now learn that Billy Butcher only has months left due to the Compound V’s effect on his body.
Currently, Homelander has his son Ryan on his side, who has the power and potential to be his father’s successor. Speaking to IGN, Kripke revealed that if Ryan continues to be under the Supe's influence, he will become the second Homelander. Therefore, a battle to reclaim the boy is necessary before he turns into a monstrosity just like his father.
How will The Boys take down Homelander and reclaim Ryan? Will Billy die in the new season? Will Gen V’s events have anything to do with The Boys Season 4? We’ll have to wait to find out.
