The Boys will soon be heading into its fifth and final season, and this time, the world will be darker and more unstable than ever. Season 4 of the series pushed every character to the edge, setting up for the high-stakes finale season. According to reports, Season 5 will feature heated confrontations in which the lines between heroes, villains, and monsters are almost completely erased. So, as we wait for the show to return, let’s take a quick look at where we left off in The Boys Season 4.
‘Homelander’s’ rise to power
In Season 4, ‘Homelander’ continues his transformation from unstable superhero to outright tyrant, after he publicly killed a protester in Season 3. And now, he faces the trial. However, what stunned everyone was his shockingly not-guilty verdict, reinforcing his belief that he is untouchable. On the other hand, his relationship with his son, ‘Ryan’, takes centre stage as ‘Homelander’ attempts to give the latter a childhood he never had. But his warped understanding of love and power only further traumatises the boy. ‘Ryan’ is pushed into violent situations, including accidentally killing someone during a staged rescue.
