The final episode of The Boys‘ fourth season, which aired on July 18, 2024, left fans in awe, needing time to process the sheer madness it delivered. As you may know, Season 4 premiered on June 13, 2024, and concluded on July 18, 2024. Despite a rocky start, it earned a Certified Fresh rating, and the viewership numbers confirmed it was the most successful season yet, regardless of what critics might say.
The records we’ll discuss, broken during this season, have been confirmed following the release of the official Nielsen Ratings for the final week (yes, they’re about a month late, we know). While we’ve already covered the biggest one, several other records were shattered, and we think you should know about them.
Here’s a quick recap: The main record from the final week is that the series amassed over 1.3 billion minutes of viewership, securing the No. 1 spot among all streaming titles during that period. This is the first time the series has claimed the top spot in this category, highlighting the significance of this season, especially given the criticism it faced from some fans. Notably, the series has remained in the Top 10 every single week since Season 4 premiered on June 13.
The second major record is an “internal” one, as Season 4 of The Boys became the only Prime Video show to surpass 1 billion minutes of viewership eight times in a single season, an achievement unmatched by any other Prime show.
Lastly, the season set a new record for the most consecutive weeks in the Nielsen Ratings Top 10, now standing at 20 weeks. This surpasses all other Prime titles and marks another milestone for the series. In summary, the fourth season of The Boys is a record-breaking, record-setting triumph, and the cast and crew deserve all the praise for their success!
