Antony Starr and Claudia Doumit in "The Boys" Season 4.
The Boys Season 4—which ends on a very serious note—is getting some welcome laughs with the release of a blooper reel from the show this year.
The fourth season of the hit Prime Video series ended on July 18 and came with an episode that had to be retitled Season 4 Finale after producers and the streamers changed it from Assassination Run following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on July 13.
In the episode, both of the show’s major political figures—President-elect Robert Singer (Jim Beaver) and Vice President-elect Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit)—were targets of assassination.
However, when Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) uses his Temp V-acquired superpowers to kill Neuman and Singer is implicated in the crime, it allows the Speaker of the House Calhoun (David Andrews) to rise to the presidency and declare martial law on the country.
Worse yet, Calhoun deputized hundreds of superheroes and put Homelander in command, allowing the villainous Supe to start apprehending anyone who disagrees with the country’s rule of law.
Now, just over a week after the heavy-duty conclusion to The Boys Season 4, Prime Video is lightening the atmosphere with the release of a blooper reel featuring the cast members goofing around on set and messing up takes.
Even Jensen Ackles—whose Supe Soldier Boy didn’t appear until the end credits of the finale while lying in a comatose state—mugs for the camera.
Virtually every cast member shows up in the blooper reel, from Erin Moriarty, Jack Quaid, Laz Alonso, Susan Heyward and Valorie Curry to Karen Fukuhara, Jessie T. Usher, Colby Minifie, Nathan Mitchell and Chace Crawford.
The blooper reel also features Giancarlo Esposito, who returned in a guest capacity as former Vought CEO Stan Edgar in Episode 5 this season.
Prime Video posted the blooper reel Friday on its X account. Click to watch it below.
