The Boys Season 4: Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Mystery Role Teased by Eric Kripke

Eric Kripke isn’t ready to reveal who Jeffrey Dean Morgan is playing in the fourth season of Prime Video’s The Boys ; however, he has provided some new clues.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly , Kripke teased Morgan’s character in The Boys Season 4, which premieres on Prime Video next month.

“He is an old colleague of Butcher’s,” he said. “I can tell you that he shares a lot of Butcher’s concern and hatred of superheroes. It really came from the notion of everyone else in The Boys is always trying to pull Butcher back. So what would happen if he started working with someone who wants to push him forward?”

Morgan also said that his role is “a little bit more perfect” for him compared to other parts he could have potentially played in the series.

“I knew who my scenes would be with, whom I f—ing love,” Morgan said. “Karl is a better looking, better acting version of me, but we’re the same f—ing motherf—er. To work with that is so much fun.”

What is The Boys Season 4 about?

“In Season Four, the world is on the brink,” the official synopsis reads. “Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power. Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son and 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.”
