The Boys has finally brought Season 4 to a close on Amazon Prime Video with Episode 8 - a finale filled with gore, chaos, and game-changing twists.
After a season building toward a presidential assassination, The Boys delivered its finale at an unfortunate time after the real-life attempt to kill former U.S. President and 2024 Republican candidate Donald Trump.
The influential event forced The Boys to drop the planned episode title of "Assassination Run" and attach a discretion warning at the opening.
