Whether you watchedGen Vor not, you probably have alotof burning questions aboutThe Boys season 4. You’re in luck. The show’s official Twitter account has gone full WIkipedia, by laying out exactly what you need to know plot-wise and timeline-wise heading into the new season.
Then, an A-Train-style runthrough of what everyone needs to know. The timeline? The Boys season 4 takes place a month after Gen V’s season 1 finale. Not only that, but Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) is now aware of a Supe-killing virus.
That might not have to be the thing that will put Homelander (Antony Starr) away for good, however. As revealed in Gen V, he’s about to stand trial for murder.
The Boys season 4 won’t be the end of The Boys-verse, either.Gen V season 2, confirmed earlier this year, will follow on from the events of Prime Video’s latest season.
Finally, confirmation that youdon’tneed to watch Gen V to understand The Boys – but you “abso-fuckin-lutely” should. That’s settled, then.
