Prime Video’s superhero satire has notched record-setting ratings for its just-released fourth season.
Despite the best efforts of “anti-woke” trolls who are just now realizing The Boys is satire—something series showrunner Eric Kripke has repeatedly expressed astonishment at—the show’s fourth season, its penultimate, has pulled in impressive ratings since its June 13 release.
Based on the comics by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Cameron Crovetti, plus new season four additions Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. It has already been renewed for a fifth and final season; spin-off Gen V debuted last year and has a second season on the way. A third series, The Boys: Mexico, is also in the works.
