The Boys Releases Statement Addressing Season 4 Finale Plot's Similarities to Real World Events

As a dedicated gamer and long-time fan of The Boys, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of Season 4. And let me tell you, the finale did not disappoint! While some scenes may be unsettling for viewers in light of recent real-world events, it’s important to remember that The Boys is a work of fiction and the political violence depicted therein is not inspired by actual events.


The makers of “The Boys” have acknowledged the uncanny similarities between the ending of Season 4 and real-life occurrences, most notably the assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump. With the finale having been released on Amazon Prime Video on Thursday, viewers are left with much to ponder. Among these developments are Billy Butcher’s impending demise and Neuman’s approaching presidency. However, it is important for fans to know that the creators have clarified that the events leading up to this in Season 4 are purely fictional and not influenced by the recent incident at a Trump rally.

“Warning: The final episode of ‘The Boys’ on Prime Video includes graphic depictions of made-up political violence. Some viewers might find these scenes distressing, given the real-life events involving former President Trump and the associated harm.”

I’ve been a long-time fan of thought-provoking and gritty television series, so when I heard about “The Boys,” I was immediately intrigued. However, I’ve come across some concerns about potential similarities between the show’s fictional events and real-world incidents.

I was thrilled to learn from Nielsen that a staggering 1.19 billion minutes of “The Boys” were watched during the week of June 10th to June 16th, which is when Season 4 made its grand debut. The first three episodes, titled “Department of Dirty Tricks,” “Life Among the Septics,” and “We’ll Keep the Red Flag Flying Here,” were all dropped on June 13th. What a week it was for us dedicated fans!

In the first four days of its release, the fourth season of “The Boys” on Prime Video attracted 21% more viewers than the previous season had. The new episodes ranked number one in 160 countries and were the third most-watched streaming shows of the week. “Bridgerton,” which dropped four episodes on Netflix on June 13th, claimed the top two spots with a massive 3.47 billion viewing minutes.
