The Boys marketing sets up season 4 commentary.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Boys seems to have increased its political commentary heading into season 4, with the show's marketing suggesting a trial of Homelander. The series has always been a commentary on political corruption in the US, with each season becoming decreasingly subtle about it.
Amazon Prime's marketing for The Boys has been top-notch, using fake social media accounts to produce original in-universe content for the series. One of the recent examples was "Cameron's Promise to Homelander," a video released on the Vought International YouTube channel, where fictional VNN reporter, Cameron Coleman, gives his take on the season 3 ending.
Homelander's Trial In The Boys Season 4 Makes The Show Even More Political If season 4 of The Boys follows a Homelander trial plot line, it would be directly commentating on real world events as they unfold. According to showrunner Eric Kripke, The Boys season 4 release has been delayed due to the WGA strike, which still has no end in sight. The trials for Donald Trump are set to begin in 2024, meaning the show and its real world counterpart event could coincide.
The Vought International YouTube video seems deliberate with its political provocation, even referring to Homelander's trial as a "witch hunt," a term that's been used frequently by Republicans and Donald Trump himself surrounding his indictments. The Boys season 4 will apparently center around Billy Butcher and Homelander's conflict over Ryan, with the feud between them continuing to grow more explosive with Billy's limited remaining lifespan.
Why The Boys Season 4's Political Commentary Can Work The Boys is already a provacative show in a number of ways, featuring extraordinarily graphic violence, raunchy sexual material, and whatever other disturbing ideas the showrunners can come up with. With that being said, unambiguous political commentary isn't much of a stretch for the show, if it's worried about deterring viewers.
