The Boys' bombshell twist explained by star Jeffrey Dean Morgan and creator Erik Kripke: 'We didn't want to save it for the end'


Jeffrey Dean Morgan, star of The Boys, and the show's creator Erik Kripke, dished on the surprising twist revealed in episode 6 of season four.  'We were always going to reveal it in Episode 6,' said Kripke.

'Because now Kessler has this new role to be literally the devil on his shoulder, and really be twisting the knife and saying really cruel things to Butcher that all happen to be totally true — which is always great when your villain can be a real truth-teller.' Kripke also elaborated on his efforts to ensure his big reveal stood apart from previous twists involving imaginary characters. 'We were always going to reveal it in Episode 6 — we didn’t want to save it for the end of the movie,' Eric Kripke told Variety (pictured June 4 in NYC)
