The final episode of the fourth season of “The Boys” was released on July 18 and came with a trigger warning following the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Amazon Prime Video released a statement making it clear that any similarities between the plot and the events in Pennsylvania on July 13 were coincidental.
The episode originally titled “Assassination Run” was written over a year ago and filmed in 2023. Before airing, it was renamed simply to “Season Four Finale” and prominently features a trigger warning at the beginning.
“The season finale of ‘The Boys’ contains scenes of fictional political violence, which some viewers may find disturbing, especially in light of the injuries and tragic loss of life suffered during the assassination attempt on former President Trump,” the statement shared by Prime Video reads.
“‘The Boys’ is a fictional series that was filmed in 2023, and any scene or plot similarity to these real-world events are coincidental and unintentional. Amazon, Sony Pictures Television, and the producers of ‘The Boys’ strongly condemn real-world violence of any kind.”
Based on the comic book of the same name, created by Eric Kripke, “The Boys” is one of Amazon’s biggest hits, and the fourth season continues with political storylines that often reflect current events.
