The Boys has officially started filming season 4

Filming is officially underway for season four of The Boys and fans could not be more excited.

Anthony Starr, who plays the incredible character of Homelander, revealed the cast and crew are back at it for the next instalment.

He wrote on Twitter: "Season one. So long ago. Season four, now we begin."

The actor shared a photo of The Seven during filming on their first few episodes, which now seem like an eternity ago considering everything that's happened on the show.

Season four is expected to have a lot going on.

Homelander's son, Ryan is fuming at seeing Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) beat up his dad with a bunch of superheroes.

He could finally realise his potential and cause an almighty storm for everyone.

Butcher is also a ticking clock after taking enough temporary V to turn his insides into gloop.

And who knows what will happen with Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles).

Showrunner Eric Kripke says they've got a lot of material to work with and they'll make sure it's the same calibre we've come to expect from the Prime Video show.

He explained to Variety that the story will have a big focus on Ryan's future.

"Ryan is a really important piece of the story because he’s half Becca, half Homelander," Kripke said.

"If Butcher can figure out how to get his shit together and get the kid back, that could be the single best weapon they have against Homelander.

"But vice versa. If Homelander wins the kid over, that’s apocalyptic because then there’s two Homelanders.

"It’s like a child drama with apocalyptic stakes.

"It’s like Kramer vs. Kramer meets Avengers: Endgame. So that will be a really rich story moving forward."

Now that filming is underway, we can only hope the next instalment doesn't take as long as season three.
