The finale of the fourth season of «The Boys» may have broken the hearts of fans, but not Amazon Prime Video. After the episode aired on July 18, it effectively set a new streaming record for Amazon during the week of July 15−21. Over a billion minutes were viewed that week, breaking several Nielsen records for the studio, Deadline reported on Friday, August 16.
According to the publication, the show was watched for 1.3 billion minutes after the finale was released. This became the highest weekly rating for the series, as it has already crossed the billion-minute threshold seven times. «The Boys» now has 20 appearances in Nielsen’s top 10 titles.
The fourth season ended on a big cliffhanger. Several guys were caught by Vought, while others remained apart from each other. Homelander (played by Antony Starr) has taken full control of the new US government; Annie (Erin Moriarty) must leave Jack Quaid’s character, Huey, because of her restored powers; Butcher (Karl Urban) and Kessler (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) are seen driving into the night with a vial of super virus, and Homelander learns that his super father, Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), is still alive.
Shortly before the release of the final episode, Prime Video added a content warning for its depiction of the fictional assassination of the president. In addition, the episode title was changed from «Assassination Run» to «Season Four Finale». Five days earlier, Donald Trump was shot in the ear at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, that month.
«The final season of 'The Boys' contains scenes of fictional political violence that some viewers may find disturbing, especially in light of the trauma and tragic losses suffered during the assassination attempt on former President Trump», - read a message from the Instagram account of «The Boys». «The Boys» is a fictional series that was filmed in 2023, and any similarities in scenes or plotlines to real events are accidental and unintentional. Amazon, Sony Pictures Television, and the producers of «The Boys» categorically reject real-world violence of any kind"
