July 18th 2024.
The highly anticipated season 4 finale of the hit series, The Boys, has just been released and it comes with a warning from Amazon Prime Video. The streaming service issued a statement ahead of the finale, in light of the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
As many fans know, The Boys is notorious for its violent and graphic scenes, but this particular episode may be even more distressing given the real-life shooting at Trump's rally on July 13th. The episode, originally titled "Assassination Run," has now been changed to simply "Season 4 Finale," but the plot still includes an assassination attempt on the character President Shaefer.
In their statement on Instagram, Prime Video addressed the sensitive subject matter, stating, "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 sustained during the assassination attempt of former President Trump." They go on to clarify that the show is purely fictional and was filmed in 2023, any similarities to real-world events are purely coincidental and unintentional.
The attempted assassination on Trump took place at a rally in Pennsylvania, where the former President was shot in the ear. Despite the close call, Trump made a quick return to the stage just days later at the Republican National Convention, where he confirmed his nomination as the Republican candidate for the upcoming presidential election.
The Secret Service was able to spot the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, on a nearby rooftop 20 minutes before the shooting occurred. Crooks was later killed at the scene, but unfortunately, one member of the audience, Corey Comperatore, lost his life while trying to protect his wife and daughter. The tragic event left many in shock and disbelief.
The Boys has been a rollercoaster of a series, filled with shocking moments and unexpected plot twists. One such moment includes Chace Crawford's character, The Deep, having a sexual encounter with an octopus. The Gossip Girl star admitted that filming this scene gave him a "panic attack," and it's no surprise why.
The Boys is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, and fans are eager to see how this explosive season will conclude. As always, if you have any celebrity stories, videos or pictures, you can reach out to the entertainment team at The Agency through email, phone or by visiting their website.
