Prime Video recently teased the cast of The Boys season 4 and it was confirmed that Simon Pegg is set to return as Hugh Campbell Sr. Known better as Hughie's father, Campbell Sr. was put under CIA protection by the end of season 1 owing to his son's activities.
It was revealed in season 3 that normalcy had resumed in his life as Hughie was no longer wanted by the authorities.
For those new to the series, the official synopsis of The Boys, according to Prime Video, reads:
"The Boys is a fun and irreverent take on what happens when superheroes—who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods—abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. "
It continues:
"Intent on stopping the corrupt superheroes, The Boys, a group of vigilantes, continue their heroic quest to expose the truth about The Seven and Vought—the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. It’s the seemingly powerless against the super powerful."
The Mission Impossible star will be seen alongside Rosemarie Dewitt, who will be playing Hughie's mother in The Boys season 4.
Though there isn't any more information about them at the moment, we can expect the Campbell reunion to be revelatory in some way. This is especially because of the nature of Hughie's relationship with his mother, who is an absentee parent.
