Just a week after the premiere of season 3, Prime Video already wants more of The Boys. The series just landed a fourth season renewal.
The dark superhero comedy adapts Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s bestselling comics. Eric Kripke helms the TV series.
“From our first conversation with Eric Kripke and the creative team about Season Three of The Boys, we knew the show was continuing to get even bolder—an impressive feat considering the wild success of the Emmy-nominated second season,” said Vernon Sanders, head of global television at Amazon Studios. “This stylized world of the series has incredible global reach and the viewership for opening weekend is proof of that.”
Generally, Amazon doesn’t release viewing statistics about its shows. However, it released some figures to help demonstrate The Boys’ growing popularity (and the reason for its early renewal). According to Amazon, viewership of The Boys within three days of its season 3 premiere grew 17% from season 2 and 234% from season 1.
The show’s success has led Prime Video to confirm two spinoffs already: The Boys Presents: Diabolical, an animated anthology series; and an upcoming live-action college series, currently in production.
Season 3 picks up after a year of calm. Homelander’s subdued. Butcher works for the government, supervised by Hughie of all people. But both men itch to turn this peace and quiet into blood and bone. So when The Boys learn of a mysterious anti-Supe weapon, it sends them crashing into The Seven, starting a war, and chasing the legend of the first Superhero: Soldier Boy.
Season 3 of The Boys stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Jensen Ackles.
