Don’t Expect “The Boys” S4 Until Post-Strike

Prime Video

Series creator and showrunner Eric Kripke has confirmed that the fourth season of Prime Video’s “The Boys” will not be released until the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike has been resolved.

The ongoing industrial action has impacted numerous high-profile film and television projects. With “The Boys” having finished principal photography of the fourth season before it began, you would think it would be mostly unaffected.

Kripke shot down that talk on Twitter, first off confirming that:

“When #Season4 drops depends on how long the #WGA Strike goes. No answer yet. Tell the studios to make a fair deal.”

Asked by a fan about why the season was being impacted as it had already been shot, Kripke says there was still dialogue that needed to be written and re-recorded during the show’s post-production phase:

“There’s a good amount of dialogue we write in post that the actors come back to record (called ADR) to help bridge story gaps or clarify a plot point. We’ll also edit dialogue together in different ways to ‘rewrite’ it. Writing at every stage of the process. #WGAStrong”

A release window for the show’s fourth season was never announced, and shooting only finished back in April – meaning it was likely not going to hit until early 2024 anyway. Now with this potential delay, it’s not clear how much further back that estimate will need to be pushed.

The spinoff series “The Boys: Gen V” was already planned to release sometime later this year and had completed filming nine months before the strike, suggesting it is much further along and thus unlikely to be impacted.
