Amazon Prime recently began filming season four of their hit series The Boys and they’ve already announced a few new key cast members. Supernatural alums Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Rob Benedict have been added to the cast of season four, and Simon Pegg is set to return as Hugh Campbell’s father. Morgan is a hot commodity in the live-action comic book space appearing in Watchmen, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, The Walking Dead, and now The Boys. There’s no word on who exactly Morgan will be playing in The Boys, and it seems that his fellow cast members also don’t know. During a new interview with OK! Magazine, Laz Alono and Tomer Capone revealed that they have no idea who Morgan is playing in season four.

“I truthfully don’t know,” Alonso told the magazine. “We have yet to meet him or see him and he hasn’t been on set. So we’re just kind of waiting too… He keeps posting he’s ready. It’s like, well, get your ass over here then!” To which Capone revealed that he thought Morgan’s appearance will be “a hell of a ride.”

The Boys wasย officially renewed for a fourth seasonย weeks before the season finale aired. With the series ending on such a high note, fans are definitely excited to see what will happen next. Karl Urban, who plays Butcher in the series, recently revealed when filming for the fourth season of the series will begin, so we could wind up getting some new info sooner rather than later.

“From our first conversation with Eric Kripke and the creative team about Season 3 of The Boys, we knew the show was continuing to get even bolder-an impressive feat considering the wild success of the Emmy-nominated second season,” Vernon Sanders, head of global television, Amazon Studios, shared in a statement. “The Boys continues to push boundaries in storytelling while also being relentlessly entertaining and threading the needle on social satire that feels all too real. This stylized world of the series has incredible global reach and the viewership for opening weekend is proof of that. We are immensely proud of the cast and crew that has spawned a franchise for Prime Video, but andย we look forward to bringing more of The Boys to our customers.”

“Speaking for the cast and crew, we’re so grateful to Sony, Amazon, and most of all the fans for embracing the show and allowing us to make more,” The Boys showrunner, added. “We’re thrilled to continue Butcher and the Boys’ fight against Homelander and the Seven, as well as comment on the insane world we’re living in. Also, this is the first time in history that exploding genitalia has led to further success.”

Jeff Frost, President, Sony Pictures Television and Jason Clodfelter, co-President, Sony Pictures Television said in a statements, “The Boys producers and cast have proven year after year that there is no bar they can’t jump over. We are incredibly proud of this brilliant and subversive genre-bending series. Our relationship with Prime Video is much more than a partnership, it’s more like extended family. Everyone here at Sony Pictures Television isย thankful to join Prime Video and Eric Kripke for another successful season.”

All episodes of The Boys are streaming exclusively on Prime Video now. Stay tuned for more details on Season 4.
