It Starts On The Page (Drama): Read ‘The Boys’ Season 4 Finale Script With Foreword By Eric Kripke, Jessica Chou & David Reed
'The Boys' Eric Kripke, Jessica Chou and David Reed talk about Season 4 finale. Part of a franchise featuring scripts of top Emmy contenders.
The action-packed episode, written by Jessica Chou and David Reed and directed by Kripke, culminates with a new president swearing his loyalty to Homelander (Antony Starr) and declaring martial law with a promise to inflict revenge on the country’s enemies and “Make America Super Again,” rounding up The Boys and taking them into custody. Below is the script for “Season Four Finale” with an intro by Kripke, Chou and Reed, in which, channeling the show’s satirical, self-deprecating tone, they make the case for the series’ writers and stars Starr, Karl Urban and Erin Moriarty getting Emmy recognition while highlighting several standout scenes in the episode. It encapsulates everything we like to do on The Boys — it’s heartbreaking because of how deeply Butcher regrets his brother’s death — and at the same time it’s funny and weird and specific in a way that makes it feel true.
