After news broke that actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan was joining Amazon Prime's The Boys for its fourth season, his pals over at The Walking Dead quickly jumped to congratulate him.The official Twitter account for The Walking Dead took to Twitter, quote-tweeting the official announcement with a video of Morgan as the horror show's villain-turned-anti-hero Negan. The clip shows the iconic moment when he approaches the gates of Alexandria wielding Lucille, knocks on the bars with the bat and sings, "Little pig, little pig, let me in."
The Twitter account for The Boys was equally excited to learn of Morgan joining the show, writing on Twitter that they are "Chuffed to welcome" him to the new season. In his new role, Morgan is set to reunite with his Supernatural co-star Jensen Ackles, who plays Soldier Boy in The Boys.
In honor of his new gig, Morgan created his very own poster for Season 4 of The Boys, where he jokingly photoshopped himself into a photo of the cast. He tweeted the photo, captioning it, "Art is done for season 4. Good work folks. Saved [The Boys] some dough."
Season 4 began production around August 22, as confirmed by Anthony Starr, who plays Homelander on the show. The actor tweeted a photo of himself and some other cast members back in Season 1, captioning it "Season one. So long ago. Season four, now we begin." Not much is known about Season 4 of The Boys, but showrunner Eric Kripke recently revealed the season premiere's episode title: Department of Dirty Tricks.
Erin Moriarty, who plays Annie January/Starlight on the show, also teased that Season 4 will include some intense storylines. The actor posted a photo on her Instagram of her and her co-stars, Jack Quaid, Jaren Fukuhara, Tomer Capone, and Laz Alonso, peering wide-eyed into a mysterious room. The caption reads: "Eyeing them season 4 plotlines like..."
The Boys was renewed for a new season in June, a matter of days after the premiere of Season 3, which saw a 17% viewership increase from the first episode of Season 2. In a statement, Amazon also noted that the show's audience had grown by 234% since the first season. The head of global television at Amazon Studios, Vernon Sanders, said that the decision to renew the show also comes from it continually "push[ing] boundaries in storytelling while also being relentlessly entertaining and threading the needle on social satire that feels all too real."
