The Boys has now increased its viewership in each of its four seasons. The show has also spawned a spinoff, Gen V.

Amazon said that 60% of The Boys Season 4 audience was based outside of the U.S. International viewing was strongest in the U.K., Brazil, India, Germany, Canada, France, Mexico, Spain and Italy.

Season 5 will be the last one for The Boys. Amazon has not yet set a release date. 

Karl Urban, Anthony Starr and Jack Quaid star in the series.

The Boys is based on the comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, who are executive producers, along with showrunner Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and a bevy of others.
