Democracy is on the brink in the season-four trailer of Prime Video's anti-super-hero drama, The Boys, which was released on Saturday at comic-convention CCXP in São Paulo, Brazil. The trailer was trending second on YouTube on Sunday.
“All democracies fail because people are fuckin' stupid. But if you crush the masses, who builds your monuments? The people will tear it apart themselves. You've just gotta nudge them a little,” Sister Sage (Susan Heyward) tells Homelander (Antony Starr) as he consolidates his power. He's dominating Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit), who's close to winning the presidency, and he's got his super-powered son at his side.
Meanwhile, Starlight (Erin Moriarty) is trying to stand up to Homelander, but finding that things quickly descend into chaos among their followers, and Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) is alienated from his crew with only a few months to live.
Besides Heyward, Valorie Curry joins the cast as Firecracker, a new member of Vought Corporation's The Seven, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Walking Dead) comes on board as an old friend (or nemesis?) of Butcher's.
The series also stars Jack Quaid, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chase Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minifie and Cameron Crovetti.
