Jack Quaid reprises his role as Hughie Campbell – the support character and a former tech expert of the Butcher, who decided to join the team after a dear girlfriend of him, Robin, was cruelly killed by A-Train. Different transformation of Hughie from an innocent, technology freak, and in to an experienced member of ‘The Boys’ has been one of the defining aspects of the series.
There is also Erin Moriarty as Starlight, or Annie January, a member of the Seven turned villain joining The Boys after she saw the dark side of Vought and Supes. Starlight is another interesting character, whose path from an enthusiastically brave superhero to the embittered avenger contributes to the complexity of the team.
This season, “The Boys” introduces a host of new characters, each bringing their own flair and complexity to the show. Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Rob Benedict, and Eliot Knight join the ensemble, adding fresh layers to the already intricate narrative.
Played by an actor who hasn’t been revealed yet, Firecracker is one of the most anticipated new characters. It is anticipated that Firecracker will infuse the series with explosive intensity, both literally and metaphorically. The character will definitely stir things up and introduce fresh tensions to the plot because of her extraordinary abilities and fiery attitude.
The Boys season 4 sucks (to me). It’s literally stuffed full of current-day politics, literal name-dropping of political figures, a pretty obvious agenda and tons of woke messaging. They screwed it up IMO. Such heavy-handedness as compared to the previous three seasons. 😑 pic.twitter.com/4K2nqIeuF5

Antony Starr’s portrayal of Homelander, the merciless commander of the Seven, remains a pivotal character. He is among the most fascinating villains on television thanks to his terrifying combination of savagery and charisma. His interactions with the new and returning characters, in his role as the major antagonist, will be crucial to advancing the plot.
Mother’s Milk, played by Laz Alonso, remains a crucial member of “The Boys.” His deep-seated hatred for Vought and unwavering loyalty to his team provide a moral anchor amidst the chaos. Mother’s Milk’s backstory and motivations will likely be further explored this season, adding emotional weight to the ongoing battle against the Supes.
With its mix of returning favorites and intriguing new faces, Season 4 of “The Boys” promises to be as unpredictable and thrilling as ever. The show’s fearless approach to storytelling, combined with its dark humor and sharp social commentary, ensures that fans will remain on the edge of their seats.
As the new episodes continue to roll out, audiences can expect more jaw-dropping twists, intense action scenes, and deep character developments. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to the series, this season of “The Boys” is set to deliver an unforgettable experience.
Tune in to Prime Video every Thursday to catch the latest episodes and see what explosive surprises await in Season 4 of “The Boys.”
