The Boys Season 4 Lands The Walking Dead's Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Walking Dead) will be joining the cast of The Boys in Season 4 as a recurring star, according to a release. Morgan's character in Prime Video's satirical comedy has not yet been disclosed.

The role will reunite Morgan with Supernatural Eric Kripke, who serves as showrunner of The Boys. Earlier this summer, Kripke told E! News, "Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a superfan of the show, so he and I are talking. We're trying to figure out something for Season Four. Nothing finalized yet, but he and I are chatting and emailing and seeing it we can make it work with his busy schedule. So, stay tuned on that."

Morgan's schedule should be opening up somewhat in the near future. Season 11 of The Walking Dead, which will close out the long-running series that began in 2010, premiered on August 22. Barring any unforeseen complication or unexpected delay, TWD will be concluding on November 20. Morgan showed the show in Season 6 as Negan, a totalitarian character who has stuck around in the show's zombie apocalypse from there.

In a recent interview with GameSpot, Kripke opened up in July about what the creative team behind The Boys is currently percolating on to have happen in Season 4.

"I think we leave both Homelander and Starlight in really interesting places where Starlight leaves The Seven and basically becomes one of The Boys," said Kripke. Homelander is finding that with his group called the Home teamers, there's like this very kind of right wing MAGA group. I think we're starting to see--which you'll see a lot more of in Season 4--you're starting to see this notion of society itself fracturing into these two factions. I don't think either side is totally innocent. I think they're not listening to each other, and they're just calcifying and getting more and more irate with the other and that just can't be good. It's sort of a sneak peek of one of the one of the big themes for Season 4."

The Boys is, in some ways, perhaps starting to shape up for Prime Video to be its version of a TWD-like success. The show is going strong into Season 4, and is already eyeing its second spin-off. The animated anthology series Diabolical debuted on Prime Video earlier this year, and we're also going to be getting Gen V, which recently revealed its cast--think of it as The Boys: The College Years, but about a whole other batch of supes.
