Rumor: Tweets about Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s role in The Boys season 4
By Wade Wainio
In the ever-expanding realm of post-apocalyptic drama and superhero sagas, fans of The Walking Dead and/or The Boys might have some exciting news worth celebrating. Not only is the highly anticipated season 2 of The Walking Dead: Dead City on the eventual horizon, but one of the show’s beloved actors, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, is still appearing in The Boys season 4.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s involvement in The Boys Season 4
While fans await the return of Maggie and Negan in The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, Jeffrey Dean Morgan has sent shockwaves through the entertainment world with his surprising involvement in another hit series: The Boys. In a tweet posted on September 9, 2023, from The Walking Dead: Dead City Twitter account (@DeadCityAMC), fans were treated to the exciting news related to Morgan’s appearance in The Boys season 4.
The tweet reads: “Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Kessler in @TheBoysTV. Thoughts?” The tweet says explicitly he will appear in episodes 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of The Boys season 4.
Though it is not a crossover announcement, and what we consider a rumor at this point, there is no doubt some fans of The Walking Dead will have a tough time separating Morgan’s role in The Boys from Negan, as he portrays another similarly fascinating character. The announcement has set social media abuzz with speculation and excitement (or at least has generated 48K+ views and a multitude of comments).
Fans are eagerly anticipating how Morgan’s character, Joe Kessler, will fit into the world of The Boys and what role he will play in the ever-twisting narrative of this beloved superhero series, (the comic book version of Kessler has story details we probably wouldn’t want to repeat here, to say the least, both for story reasons and because of just how wild, bizarre and raunchy they are).
The Boys season 4 – What to expect
As if Morgan’s involvement wasn’t enough to pique fans’ interest, The Boys season 4 is shaping up to be an incredible addition to the series. The show, known for its dark humor, subversion of superhero tropes, and intense action sequences, continues to be a fan favorite.
The fourth season will see the return of core cast members, including Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, and Colby Minifie. As the series delves deeper into the complex relationships between superheroes, the corrupt corporations that control them, and the vigilantes determined to expose the truth, season 4 promises to deliver more of the thrilling and thought-provoking content that fans have come to love.
Of course, the real question is just how many heads will explode, or how many people will get their guts ripped out (which, oddly enough, is what many also wonder about in any episode/season of The Walking Dead).
The Walking Dead: Dead City – A glimpse into the world of the undead
For those fans of The Boys who have not watched The Walking Dead: Dead City, the spinoff is an American post-apocalyptic horror drama television series created by Eli Jorné for AMC. This captivating series is set in the same universe as the original The Walking Dead and marks a reasonably successful spinoff installment in TWD franchise (which has big plans for Negan).
It’s a remarkable testament to the enduring popularity of a world plagued by zombies. The show follows the journey of two iconic characters from the original series, Maggie and Negan, who are reprised by Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, respectively.
Set in New York City in the chaotic aftermath of a zombie apocalypse, the series explores the challenges of survival, the resilience of the human spirit, and the blurred lines between good and evil, in a world overrun by the undead.
Conclusion
With the impending return of The Walking Dead: Dead City and Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s eventful, regular appearance in The Boys season 4, fans of both series have plenty to look forward to. These developments are a testament to the enduring popularity of post-apocalyptic drama and the ever-expanding reach of bleak superhero storytelling.
As we await these new seasons, one thing is clear: the worlds of the undead and superheroes continue to captivate and surprise audiences around the globe.
