The first look at two new supes from the fourth season of Prime Video’s brilliant series, The Boys are released.
After a third season that changed everything up, the fourth season of Prime Video’s superhero series ‘The Boys’ is currently in production in Toronto. After last season’s appearance of Soldier Boy, marvelously played by Jensen Ackles, thoughts turned to who we would be seeing next. Although the details on the characters are being kept under wraps until the season airs, two new supes have been announced. We will be meeting Sister Sage and Firecracker. Sister Sage will be played by actress Susan Heyward while Firecracker will be portrayed by Valorie Curry. And we have been granted our first looks at the pair.
VALORIE CURRY AS FIRECRACKER
Valorie Curry recently starred as the female lead, Katherine, in the Imagine/CBS series on Peacock, The Lost Symbol, based on the Dan Brown book opposite Eddie Izzard and Ashley Zukerman. She recently wrapped shooting the co-lead role of Marissa opposite Finn Wittrock and Rita Wilson in Start Without Me, directed by Joel Gretsch. She previously starred as the female lead of Sony/Amazon’s The Tick, opposite Griffin Newman and Peter Serafinowicz.
She made a star turn in the Lionsgate feature American Pastoral, co-starring opposite Ewan McGregor, Jennifer Connelly, and Dakota Fanning. She starred in Adam Wingard’s film The Blair Witch sequel, also for Lionsgate. Both films premiered at Toronto 2016. Valorie was named by The Wrap as one of the 15 breakout movie stars of Fall 2016. Curry previously had a starring role opposite Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy in Kevin Williamson’s The Following for FOX and a season-long arc on Showtime‘s, House of Lies.
SUSAN HEYWARD AS SISTER SAGE
Susan Heyward most recently starred on the OWN series, DELILAH, and will next be seen on the Apple+ series, HELLO TOMORROW.

ABOUT THE BOYS
The Boys is a fun and irreverent take on what happens when superheroes—who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods—abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. Intent on stopping the corrupt superheroes, The Boys, a group of vigilantes, continue their heroic quest to expose the truth about The Seven and Vought—the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. It’s the seemingly powerless against the super-powerful.
The Boys is based on The New York Times’ best-selling comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, who also serve as executive producers, and developed by executive producer and showrunner Eric Kripke. Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Phil Sgriccia, Craig Rosenberg, Ken F. Levin, Jason Netter, Paul Grellong, David Reed, Meredith Glynn, and Michaela Starr also serve as executive producers. The Boys is produced by Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television Studios, with Kripke Enterprises, Original Film, and Point Grey Pictures.
‘The Boys’ season 4 is currently filming and will be released on Prime Video sometime in the future.
