Your team. What’s your codename again? / The Boys. / Oof, who came up with that shit?
Season 4 of Toronto-filmed The Boys picks up with a defeated Billy Butcher and a triumphant Homelander against the backdrop of a Presidential election in The Boys universe.
The Boys is a show about a group of vigilantes who try to take down corrupt “supes ” who abuse their superpowers.
Homelander (Antony Starr) and his son Ryan (Cameron Cravetti) are backing Vought International’s Singer-Neuman ticket –Robert Singer(Jim Beaver) for President and Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) for Vice-President.
In Season Four, the world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power. Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), with only months to live, has lost Becca’s (Shantel VanSanten) son as well as his job as The Boys’ leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it’s too late.
The Boys will have to come together to save the world from facism, maybe with help from the character played by The Walking Dead and Supernatural’s Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Where did season 3 leave The Boys?
At the end of season 3, Homelander seemed unstoppable as he introduced the world to his super-powered son Ryan and was cheered by the crowd for killing a protester who called him a facist.
Look at Ryan’s slow evil smile at the crowd reaction.
Much of season 4 is a battle for Ryan’s soul.
If Ryan turns into another little sociopathic Homelander, that’s apocalyptic. But on the other hand, if [Billy] Butcher’s able to pull him away from that, then you might have the only person who can actually fight Homelander. – showrunner Eric Kripke told TVLine.
Showrunner Eric Kripke vows he will not let Homelander win in the end.
