The 4th season of The Boys is already knocking on the door. And at the heat of the moment, Amazon Prime Video has dropped a glimpse of the new superpowers set to join the fray in Season 4. The season introduces two centralized characters, Sister Sage and Firecracker, who are going to be marking a major expansion of the infamous group of Seven.
Developed by Eric Kripke and based on the comic series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys continues to blend satire with superhero chaos. Audiences can catch the premiere of the first three episodes on June 13, 2024, exclusively on Prime Video.
Prime Video drops a shot of the new supes from The Boys Season 4
Sister Sage and Firecracker are the fresh faces in the upcoming season, and they are poised to shake things up within the Seven. Both of the characters are original to the show but are diverging from the comic series created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. Sister Sage, portrayed by Susan Heyward, is described as the smartest person in the world, a formidable intellect previously affiliated with Teenage Kix.
Firecracker, brought to life by Valorie Curry, emerges as a controversial figure with a penchant for weaponry, not yet revealing the full extent of her abilities. As the notorious group of Seven has lost some of their supes, the introduction of these new characters is timely which in turn fills the void left by previous members, potentially steering the team's dynamics in new, unpredictable directions.
