'The Boys' secures fifth series renewal ahead of season 4 premiere in June

Fans of The Boys need to gear up for another season. The season five order for the satirical superhero has been given the green light ahead of the fourth season's debut on Prime Video. Created by Erik Kripke, “The Boys” is based on The New York Times best-selling comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, and follows the eponymous team of vigilantes as they combat superpowered individuals who abuse their abilities.

The makers had recently dropped the trailer for season 4. In Season Four, the world is on the brink.

With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it’s too late
