In the wake of recent events, the makers of the popular Prime Video series ‘The Boys’ have added a warning to the Season 4 finale, clarifying that any similarities between the show’s storyline and real-world events are purely coincidental and unintentional.

This happened when the episode’s murder story was compared to the attack on former US President Donald Trump. Prime Video uploaded a clarification statement on its official Instagram account.

“The season finale of The Boys contains scenes of fictional political violence that some viewers may find disturbing, particularly in light of the injuries and tragic loss of life during the assassination attempt on former President Trump,” the statement said.

It also added, “The Boys is a fictional series filmed in 2023, and any visual or plot similarities to these real-world events are coincidental and unintentional. Amazon, Sony Pictures Television and the producers of The Boys strongly disavow any connotation of real-world violence.”

Although this episode of the satirical drama, originally titled ‘Assassination Run’, was written a year ago and filmed last year, its release coincided with the recent assassination attempt on former US President and current presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The episode has since been retitled the ‘Season Four Finale’ and now includes the warning “Viewers are advised to use discretion” at the beginning.
