Amazon issues warning after Trump attack

The boys The season 4 finale is out — and it comes with a health warning following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump this weekend.

While the episode was released at midnight on July 18, Amazon Prime Video released a statement clarifying that any similarities between the story and the events in Pennsylvania were coincidental.

“The season finale of The boys “contains scenes of fictional political violence that some viewers may find disturbing, particularly in light of the tragic injuries and loss of life suffered in the attempted assassination of former President Trump,” Amazon said.

The boys is a fictional series that was filmed in 2023, and any similarities in scene or plot to these real-world events are coincidental and unintentional. Amazon, Sony Pictures Television and the producers of The boys “reject, in the strongest terms, all forms of violence in the real world.”

The episode’s title was also changed following the attack on Trump, in which the former US president said he was injured by a bullet piercing his ear.

The finale was originally titled Assassination Racebut it is now simply Season 4 FinaleAmazon also warns that “viewer discretion is advised” at the beginning of the episode.

Based on the graphic novel of the same name, created by Eric Kripke The boys is one of Amazon’s biggest hits and Season 4 continues to tie into political events that echo real life.
