Now for the bad news, which is that there's been no official word from Amazon Studios about when Season 4 of "The Boys" will debut on the Prime Video platform. And according to a recent Tweet from series creator Eric Kripke, fans might have an extended wait ahead as he claims the new season will not be ready to go until the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes have ended.
Nonetheless, when the series does return, Simon Pegg assures one and all that the new episodes will be well worth the wait, telling Collider, "It's a great crew. They are an amazing bunch of people, and that show is sick as f***!" Pegg later expanded on the last bit of that comment, stating, "You know how crazy 'The Boys' is? It's gonna get crazier." It's legitimately difficult to imagine how "The Boys" could possibly push boundaries further than it already has, but if the show has taught us anything so far, it's that the series' creatives obviously take a certain amount of joy in finding new buttons to push and new boundaries to break.
So, too, does Pegg, apparently, who told Collider, "I had so much fun on that show. It was so great to go back and play Hugh Sr.," adding, "It's going to be great. You're gonna love it." Given Pegg's Season 4 episode count and the addition of Rosemaire DeWitt as Hughie's mother, big things appear be on the horizon for the Campbell clan — and if you know anything about "The Boys," that prospect should be absolutely terrifying.
