The Boys Season 4 Finale Gets New Title, Trigger Warning After Trump Shooting
has a new title in the aftermath of the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.
The Season 4 finale was originally titled “Assassination Run.” Although the episode was written and filmed in 2023, Amazon, Sony, and The Boys producers changed the title to “Season Four Finale” and inserted a trigger warning because the show contains political violence similar to the real-life assassination attempt in Pennsylvania this past weekend.
“The season finale of The Boyscontains 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 in a statement. “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 also included ” “viewer discretion advised” before the episode begins on Prime Video.
