What was The Boys Season 4 finale originally titled before release?

The Boys Season 4 finale was originally titled “Assassination Run.” It was released under the replacement title “Season Four Finale,” becoming the eighth episode of the season and the series’ thirty-second episode overall.

The title change followed the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024. The episode’s storyline involves a political assassination plot, so Amazon, Sony Pictures Television, and the producers added a warning and changed the title shortly before release. The producers stressed that the similarities were coincidental and that the episode had been filmed long before the real-world event.

“Assassination Run” was not an unrelated fan title or an early name for the entire season. It referred specifically to the finale’s original episode title and also echoed the comic-book storyline “Over the Hill with the Swords of a Thousand Men.” The episode premiered on Prime Video on July 18, 2024, with plotlines involving Victoria Neuman, Robert Singer, Homelander, and Butcher.
