The Boys fans have every reason to be thrilled as the much-anticipated Season 4 of Amazon’s hit series is officially slated for premiere next month. Amid the mounting excitement, the studio has graced fans with the official trailer, providing a sneak peek into the adrenaline-pumping drama that awaits.

The storyline picks up following the dramatic conclusion of the previous season. It appears that characters Butcher, played by Karl Urban, and Homelander, portrayed by Antony Starr, are on a seemingly self-destructive path, determined to drag others into their turmoil. The newly released trailer unveils a critical moment where Butcher confides in Jack Quaid‘s Hughie, Erin Moriarty‘s Starlight, and the rest of the Boys about his dire health situation.

With limited time left due to a failing heart, Butcher unveils his plan to release a lethal virus targeted at the superhero (super) community. In this mission, he finds an ally in a character portrayed by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who, nursing a shared vendetta against supes, wishes to eradicate them to safeguard humanity. Meanwhile, at Vought Headquarters, Homelander rallies his team to manifest as “wrathful gods” to quash protesting civilians.

With only eight episodes of the new season, the description reads, “In Season Four, the world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power. Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son and his job as The Boys’ leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it’s too late.”
