The Boys season 4 is filled with the progression of various romantic storylines, as well as a shift of power, according to the cast and showrunner Eric Kripke. The Boys universe keeps growing as season 4 approaches its June 13 premiere, picking up the strands of storylines from new show Gen V in addition to the events of its previous seasons.

Following the war against Soldier Boy in The Boys season 3, season 4 shift the focus back to Homelander and how the band of heroes plans to stop him. In The Boys season 4, the vigilantes’ time is running out as Homelander continues to gain more power with the public. On the political side, Victoria Neuman (played by Claudia Doumit) is preparing for her own battle with Homelander while still posing a danger to the outcasts in her own right.

Annie (Erin Moriarty) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) each do their part to keep the gang together despite dealing with personal and romantic frustrations — not to mention the fact that The Boys season 4 raises the stakes more than ever.
