Prime Video’s superhero TV series The Boys recently returned for its fourth season, and the show is putting up big numbers. Deadline reported that Amazon announced that viewership for Season 4 through its first three episodes over its first four days was up 21% in total viewers compared to the Season 3 in June 2022. Seasons 3 and 4 both debuted with three episodes right out of the gate.
The Boys isn’t toppling all the records at Prime Video, though, as Reacher Season 2 remains the record-holder on the streamer for most viewers for any returning season on Prime Video over its first four days. The Boys Season 4 is No. 2 in that department.
Amazon also mentioned that The Boys has expanded its global viewership with each new season. Most of the show’s viewers (60%) came from outside the US, Amazon said.
Any comparison to another show would be incomplete and unfair, but the Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon just recently returned for its second season, and viewership dropped 22% compared to the Season 1 premiere.
The Boys Season 4, Episode 4, “Wisdom of the Ages,” debuted June 20. The episode provided a deeper look into Homelander’s tragic upbringing, and a Season 1 deleted scene provides even more background and context in how John became Homelander.
New episodes of The Boys air Thursdays on Prime Video.
