The very real political issues (and crises) of the US election are not lost on the Prime Video series’ showrunner, Eric Kripke.
The growing similarities between The Boys and the very real political problems (and crises) of the US elections are not lost on the showrunner of the Prime Video series Eric KripkeIn fact, he says he’s starting to get “really worried about it.”
“This show has an increasingly disturbing history of reflecting reality in one way or another,” Kripke told TheWrap.
“There is some superfluous dialogue, for example, where billionaires talk about how they have to manipulate the Supreme Court to get the decisions they need. I don’t like being in Satan’s writers room.. I’m starting to get very worried about that. But there’s still a certain eerie similarity between the show and things that are happening in the real world.”
What is the fourth season of The Boys about?
In Season 4, the world is in danger. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office, under the control of Homelander who is strengthening his power.
