'The Boys' Season 4 Amazon

The Boys Season 4 finale has dropped — and it comes with a health warning after the attempt on Donald Trump‘s life over the weekend.

As the episode dropped at midnight on July 18, Amazon Prime Video released a statement making clear that any similarities between the storyline and events in Pennsylvania were coincidental.

“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 on former President Trump,” Amazon said.

The Boys is a fictitious series that was filmed in 2023, and any scene or plotline similarities to these real-world events are coincidental and unintentional. Amazon, Sony Pictures Television and the producers of The Boys reject, in the strongest terms, real-world violence of any kind.”

The title of the episode has also been changed following the attack on Trump, in which the former U.S. president said he was injured by a bullet piercing his ear.

The finale was originally titled Assassination Run, but is now simply Season Four Finale. Amazon also warns “viewer discretion advised” at the beginning of the episode.

Based on the graphic novel of the same name, Eric Kripke-created The Boys is one of Amazon’s biggest hits and Season 4 continues to be intertwined with political events that echo real life.
