Prime Video’s hit superhero series just got a hilarious reveal from the showrunner behind the madness. Writer and creatorEric Kripketook to his personal X accountto share that one moment fromThe BoysSeason 4, Episode 1that wasn’t in the script. At the end of the episode, Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) opens an email from Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), telling her that he’s deleted the dirt that Hughie (Jack Quaid) had on her. However, when she opens the file, it’s merely a picture of Butcher’s"undercarriage," to speak delicately. Kripke shared that Doumit’s reaction to this moment was completely genuine and unscripted, and that what audiences see in the final product was her unfiltered response to seeing that photo for the first time.
This scene takes on new meaning with this bit of added context. Upon rewatch, it’s clear that Doumit is trying not to break character, holding in a laugh that was most likely let out the second someone yelled"cut!“This is just part of whyThe Boyshas become such a popular superhero property; its ability to push the needle and outdo itself with raunchy and unexpected reveals is something you just can’t get anywhere else. Fans have been enjoying these kinds of whacky moments since the show premiered in 2019, but withThe Boysset to end after Season 5, viewers need to soak in each of these moments knowing there’s only so many more coming down the pipe.
