With a little over a month until the fourth season of The Boys premieres, Prime Video has released a new trailer. The trailer shows a chaotic world filled with political tension and violence.

The season 4 trailer opens with Billy Butcher showing his vulnerable side, expressing regret for his choices throughout his life, hoping to rectify all his wrongdoings by saving the world. We also see Homelander, who provides a voiceover in the trailer, expressing to The Seven that they are pivoting from being "beloved celebrities" and rebranding themselves as gods.

We also briefly see Sam Riordan and Cate Dunlap, two characters originally appearing in The Boys spinoff show Gen V. In addition, Jeffrey Dean Morgan makes another appearance, talking to Butcher and asking for his help in taking down supes, and Butcher discovers a virus that can kill supes.

As previously depicted in the marketing for the upcoming season, The Boys' fourth season will occur during an election year, with political tension leading to violent encounters. Beyond the usual gore and violence we have come to expect from Prime Video's hit TV series, we also see political tension from the upcoming election resulting in violence.

In our review of The Boys' third season, IGN wrote, "The Boys' third Season achieves a balance between impactful storytelling and extreme violence that cements itself as one of the best shows on streaming, no matter the year or genre."

The Boys' season 4 premieres on June 14. For more, check out our ending explanations for season 3 and our breakdown of the season 1 finale for Gen V and how it will likely tie into The Boys' upcoming season.

While the release of new Star Wars shows on Disney+ has slowed down from the pace of the last few years, The Acolyte won't be the only new live-action series this year. Via Collider, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew co-creator Jon Watts confirmed at CCXP Mexico that his series will be released around Christmas. Assuming that Disney+ intends to release new episodes weekly, Skeleton Crew's season would extend into 2025.

Watts and his frequent collaborator, Christopher Ford, conceived Skeleton Crew as the story of four children who discover a secret on their home world. The kids subsequently wind up on a starship and find themselves lost somewhere far from home. The series will take place during the same time period as The Mandalorian and Ashoka.

Jude Law, Kerry Condon, and Jaleel White are among the most prominent adult actors on the show. The rest of the cast includes Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Robert Timothy Smith, Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Kyriana Kratter, and Tunde Adebimpe.

“How many of you had ‘Mark Hamill will lead the press briefing’ on your bingo cards?” the Star Wars icon joked as he took the podium at the White House. “Yeah, me either.” It’s not such a far-fetched idea, however, when one considers the date. It’s May 3, the last weekday before that sacred Star […]

Deadline’s Most Valuable Blockbuster tournament is back. While studios during Covid wildly embraced the theatrical day-and-date model when cinemas were closed, they soon realized there’s nothing more profitable than a theatrical release and the downstreams that come with it. If anything, theatrical is the advertisement for a movie’s longevity in subsequent home entertainment windows. Entering the conversation […]

Developer Rare today announced that this month, all Sea of Thieves players will get a chance to head out on Gilded Voyages that should boost their standing with all Trading Companies and net them some big rewards.

Following on from this week's successful launch of Sea of Thieves on PS5, Rare has confirmed we're all about to get a lot richer in-game. In a couple of weeks, all players will be given the chance to embark on up to four Gilded Voyages and earn some of the most lucrative rewards in the game alongside what can end up being the longest adventures you can dive into.

Sea of Thieves players can loot a ridiculous amount of Gold from Gilded Voyages from mid-May

Between May 16 and 23, 2024, Sea of Thieves players will have the opportunity to claim up to four Gilded Voyages. These are usually free and send players on quests for more loot than they'll know what to do with. In a Twitter post announcing this, Rare explained how these Gilded Voyages would take players to the Ancient Isles, which makes them even more intriguing.

Gilded Voyages of the Ancient Isles award standing with all the game's Trading Companies, the various factions you can work for. Not only that, though, these Gilded Voyages are going to award you with the Seamark Tribute Tattoo, but you'll likely have to complete at least one Voyage to get it.

The only downside to Gilded Voyages is that they must be completed in the High Seas, the open world where players can attack each other in Sea of Thieves. Those who stick to Safer Seas because they prefer the co-op experience or want to stick to solo play won't be able to get them unless they step up.

Given the High Seas restriction, some players aren't as pleased as they could be about the upcoming Gilded Voyages. Others have inadvertently discovered that this is their chance to get the Seamark Tribute Tattoo back in their collection after it was removed by a past update.

As a new player who has joined with the PS5 launch, I'm excited to jump into my first event in the game. I play solo for the most part, but love going out of my way on High Seas mode with the added danger it presents. Of course, I might come to regret that if I'm boarded and lose all my loot after digging up 40 Captain's Chests on a Gilded Voyage. I can't resist a time-limited cosmetic, though.
