The Boys Releases Important Casting News Before Season 4

• Simon Pegg, who played Hughie’s father Hugh Campbell Sr., will reunite with his son again
• Pegg made his acting debut in the third season, which included five episodes.
• Elliot Knight and Rob Benedict have joined the cast for the fourth season.

Jack Quaid’s character Hughie’s mother will be played by Rosemarie DeWitt in the upcoming fourth season of the superhero series on Prime Video, it was revealed on December 1.

The 51-year-old actress is best known for appearing in films like Your Sister’s Sister (2011) and Rachel Getting Married (2008). She also starred as Don Draper’s (Jon Hamm) lover Midge Daniels on Mad Men and in the 2022 limited series The Staircase.

Simon Pegg, who previously played Hughie Campbell’s father Hugh Campbell, Sr., will appear with DeWitt. Pegg made his acting debut in the third season, which included five episodes.

Pegg celebrated the news with a Dec. 1 post on Instagram, in which he shared a picture of himself and Quaid, captioned: “Father and Son together again. @theboystv, Season 4. Next year.”

Quaid commented on the post, “Love ya Dad!”

It was also announced that Elliot Knight and Rob Benedict have both joined the cast for season four, though on the topic of who they’ll be playing, the show said, “that ain’t yer business just yet.”

The two television shows Life Sentence (2018) and the 2016 CBS drama American Gothic, in which he co-starred with Lucy Hale, are where Knight is best recognised for his work.

Eric Kripke, who serves as the showrunner for The Boys, created Supernatural, where Benedict played Chuck Shurley.

What else can viewers anticipate from season four given that Ryan (Cameron Crovetti), the son of Homelander (Antony Starr) and Butcher’s (Karl Urban) late wife Becca (Shantel VanSanten), flew off with his evil biological father in the dramatic season three finale?

Things won’t exactly be getting any less gloomy, Kripke said in July, especially in light of the finale’s revelation that Butcher was handed a terminal medical prognosis.

“Butcher has a very limited amount of time to live and in that time, he needs to figure out how to save Ryan, how to get rid of Homelander, how to deal with [Victoria] Newman (Claudia Doumit),” Kripke said. “He has a lot on his plate.”
