'We work hard and play hard' - Karl Urban teases The Boys Season 4, following the absurd herogasm of Season 3

Hold onto your capes, fans of Amazon's The Boys! The edgy superhero series is moving at lightning speed, and season 4 is on the horizon. With season 3 closing in style, the beloved Karl Urban is gearing up to get his "Butcher back on." Let's dive into what the star had to say and what's next for the gripping series.

Karl Urban Spills the Beans: Season 4 Filming Date

The charismatic and ever-energetic Karl Urban, who plays the relentless Billy Butcher in the series, made headlines by revealing that season 4's filming is set to kick off on August 22nd. "Yeah, we're starting I think August the 22nd, we're going to be starting season four. So I'm getting back, getting my Butcher back on, and I can't wait. It's a fun gang to play with, we work hard and play hard," Urban told Collider.

This quick turnaround, following the end of season 3, indicates that the dreaded lengthy wait between seasons (a 21-month gap between seasons 2 and 3 due to the pandemic) might be a thing of the past.

The Boys Season 4: The Anticipation Builds

The phenomenal success of season 3, which gave us one of the more absurd moments in television history with the episode "Herogasm," has fans clamoring for more.

As season 4 is almost about to start filming, the prediction is that The Boys may hit screens in July 2023. And let's not forget The Boys' college-based spin-off, also slated for a 2023 release, although no exact date has been dropped yet.

A Universe in the Making? Amazon’s Ambitions

Amazon seems to have grand plans for The Boys, and they're not shy about it. While the original comics had a six-year run, Amazon appears keen on turning this into their own Marvel/DC universe, complete with spin-offs and animated series.

It wouldn't be surprising if they kept going after the comic ending or altered it to suit their universe-building ambitions. They're sticking pretty close to the source material for now, but who knows what twists and turns lie ahead?

Final Thoughts: Buckle Up for Mid-2023

Season 4 of The Boys is coming, possibly sooner than anticipated. With Karl Urban's enthusiasm, the legacy of Herogasm, and Amazon's universe-building intentions, fans are in for an exhilarating ride.

My guess, and the guess of many, is that we'll see The Boys' college spin-off in early 2023 and The Boys Season 4 by mid-2023. If this season's outrageous content is anything to go by, the potential for it to get even better from here is undeniable.

So, buckle up, fans of The Boys! Karl Urban is ready, and so are we. It's time to embrace the absurd, the heroic, and the utterly fantastic world of The Boys. Mid-2023 can't come soon enough!
