Eric Kripke’s 2019 web series The Boys tweaked the superhero notion and how. Showcasing superheroes who misuse their powers, the creator paved the way for a new group of vigilantes to step up and stop them. The Boys are heroes without a cape. Running successfully for three seasons, the last segment of the much-loved franchise aired on Prime Video in 2022. After almost two years, the makers are now back with The Boys season 4. When the official teaser was dropped last year, viewers were already gripped with excitement. Fuelling the anticipation, it has been unveiled that the fourth installment will premiere on the OTT platform on June 13.
The announcement was made on February 23 by The Boys official X (formerly Twitter) handle. “The date is June 13th. You sit down with a cuppa of tea, turn on your tube, and say to yourself," read the note. Referring to the action-adventure game GTA, a snippet of the online sport was also added. It featured an avatar of a player standing in a virtual world, with its back against the camera. The popular GTA phrase, “Ah shite, here we go again," was emblazoned inside the photo.
