Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s character in ‘The Boys’ reportedly revealed: Joe Kessler aka Monkey

Get ready for a wild ride because Prime Video’s acclaimed series, The Boys, is gearing up for its fourth season.

Since April 2023, the show has been in post-production, and fans can anticipate Season 4 to hit screens around spring this year. Prime Video unveiled the trailer for Season 4 during CCXP 2023, offering a tantalizing glimpse of what’s to come, including new characters like Jeffrey Dean Morgan, known for his roles in The Walking Dead and Supernatural.

While Morgan’s character in Season 4 remains officially undisclosed, rumors suggest he’ll portray Joe Kessler, a figure closely linked to Billy Butcher (Karl Urban). Although details about Kessler are scarce, in the comics, he’s known as Howard Kessler or “Monkey,” serving as a pivotal informant for The Boys in their crusade against corrupt Supes.

The trailer hints at a connection between Morgan’s character and Butcher, sparking speculation about their dynamic, ranging from mentorship to old comrades reuniting. However, these are mere conjectures until confirmed.

Season 4’s synopsis teases a world on the brink, with Victoria Neuman’s rise and Homelander’s power play looming large. Butcher, facing his mortality, grapples with personal losses and leadership challenges within The Boys, setting the stage for high-stakes conflicts and uneasy alliances.

The ensemble cast for Season 4 includes familiar faces like Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, and Erin Moriarty, alongside newcomers like Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Valorie Curry.

Prepare for another thrilling chapter in The Boys saga when Season 4 premieres on Amazon Prime Video this spring in 2024.
