Summary
The Boysseason 4 is releasing now, and it has just admitted that a great new theory about the members of The Seven won’t be happening in season 4. Due to the end ofThe Boysseason 3 leaving The Seven with only four members, there has been all kinds of speculation regarding which supes will fill these seats in season 4, rounding out the roster of the show’s premiere superhero team. However,The Boysseason 4 has already gone in a way that many viewers didn’t expect, dashing hopes for this one popularThe Boysseason 4 fan theory.
The Boysseason 4 is finally here, with the highly anticipated continuation of Amazon Prime Video’s critically acclaimed superhero series now releasing on the streaming service.The Boysseason 4 picks up right whereThe Boysseason 3 ended, with the titular team attempting to stop Victoria Neuman from becoming Vice President of the United States while Butcher works in the background to kill Homelander and save Ryan. Meanwhile, Homelander is attempting to reshape The Seven into a proper team, and that means selecting two new supe members - something that is easier said than done.
Homelander Is Leaving The Seven’s Final Spot Open For Ryan
When Will Ryan Join The Team?
At the start ofThe Boysseason 4,Homelander, The Deep, A-Train, and the Black Noir replacement are the only remaining members of The Seven, causing them to have to select three new members. Their first pick is Sister Sage, a supe who has the power of being the smartest person on Earth. Then, the team enlists Firecracker, a far-right supe who has the ability to shoot fireworks out of her hands. While there are still tons of potential supes that the six heroes could have picked for membership, Homelander instead made a surprising choice.
As it turns out, Homeladner isn’t going to let The Seven pick their seventh member, with him instead leaving the team’s final spot open for Ryan. WhileRyan has gained some incredibly powerful abilitiesdue to him being the son of Homelander, the supe is still incredibly young, meaning that he isn’t quite ready for membership in The Seven. Despite this, Homelander doesn’t want anything getting in the way of Ryan’s membership when he comes of age, causing him to begin Ryan’s training and keep the seat at the top of Vought’s Seven Tower warm for him.

It’s Only Happened Twice
The roster of The Seven has constantly changed throughoutThe Boys' four seasons, causing many to wonder ifThe Seven has ever had seven members inThe Boys. Despite the team most frequently having four, five, or six members, there have actually been two times that the team has had seven members.This first occurred at the very beginning of season 1, with the team consisting of Homelander, Queen Maeve, A-Train, The Deep, Black Noir, Translucent, and Starlight, with it staying this way until the Boys kill Translucent.
The Seven again had seven members inThe Boysseason 3 for a brief time, with this only happening when The Deep rejoined the team and Supersonic was enlisted. At this point, the team consisted of Homelander, Queen Maeve, A-Train, The Deep, Black Noir, Starlight, and Supersonic. However, Homelander killed Supersonic shortly after, causing the number to drop down to six. Then, Starlight and Queen Maeve left the team, ending The Seven’s short stint as a fully-staffed supe team.

The Seven Not Getting A New Hero Spoils A Great Gen V Theory
Cate & Sam May Not Be Joining
Not filling out the ranks of The Seven inThe Boysseason 4 is a sad move, as it spoils a greatGen Vtheory. Ever since the end ofGen V, there has been a lot of speculation that eitherCate or Sam would join the team. Cate and Sam are incredibly powerful supes who were propped up by Ashley to join The Seven, with many fans thinking that they would make their The Seven debut inThe Boysseason 4.
However, if Homelander is truly done adding members to the team, then that means that Cate and Sam won’t be joining in season 4. This dashes the hopes of thisGen Vtheory coming true, which is sad news for fans who were hoping for the two shows to continue crossing over. While there is still potential for theseGen Vcharacters to appear inThe Boysseason 4, it seems unlikely that either of them will join The Seven.
