In the first teaser trailer for The Boys season 4, the world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander (Antony Starr), who is consolidating his power. Butcher (Karl Urban), with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son as well as 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.

Sharing the teaser as part of Prime Video’s CCXP event in São Paulo, the streaming service also took to X/Twitter to drop a few hints about what fans can expect from the upcoming season. “Timeline wise, it takes place about a month after the events of the Gen V finale,” the tweet reads, referring to the college-based spinoff series. “Butcher knows about the virus. Do with that lil piece of intel what ya will. Homelander will stand trial for lasering a Starlighter’s head off. Vought even made a hashtag for the occasion. #HomeFree.” It continues: “The events of Season 4 will lead into Gen V Season 2. Do you need to watch both shows to understand one or the other? No. Should you? Abso-fuckin-lutely.”

The teaser also gives us our first look at Jeffrey Dean Morgan‘s character, who appears friendly with Butcher, but gives away nothing more about his identity or role in the series.

The season is expected to premiere in 2024. Watch the trailer for The Boys season 4 below:
