The Boys Gets Season Four Greenlight

Prime Video has ordered a fourth season of its hit Emmy-nominated series The Boys.

The Boys released the first three episodes from season three on June 3, with new episodes available each Friday leading up to the season finale on July 8. Over the first three days of its third season, the worldwide audience for The Boys has grown by 17 percent from season two and 234 percent from season one.

“From our first conversation with Eric Kripke and the creative team about season three of The Boys, we knew the show was continuing to get even bolder—an impressive feat considering the wild success of the Emmy-nominated second season,” said Vernon Sanders, head of global television at Amazon Studios. “The Boys continues to push boundaries in storytelling while also being relentlessly entertaining and threading the needle on social satire that feels all too real. This stylized world of the series has incredible global reach and the viewership for opening weekend is proof of that. We are immensely proud of the cast and crew that has spawned a franchise for Prime Video, and we look forward to bringing more of The Boys to our customers.”

“Speaking for the cast and crew, we’re so grateful to Sony, Amazon and most of all the fans for embracing the show and allowing us to make more,” said Eric Kripke, The Boys showrunner. “We’re thrilled to continue Butcher and the Boys’ fight against Homelander and the Seven, as well as comment on the insane world we’re living in. Also, this is the first time in history that exploding genitalia has led to further success.”

“The Boys producers and cast have proven year after year that there is no bar they can’t jump over,” said Jeff Frost, president of Sony Pictures Television, and Jason Clodfelter, co-president of Sony Pictures Television, which co-produces the series. “We are incredibly proud of this brilliant and subversive genre-bending series. Our relationship with Prime Video is much more than a partnership; it’s more like extended family. Everyone here at Sony Pictures Television is thankful to join Prime Video and Eric Kripke for another successful season.”
