Following the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump, the Amazon Prime TV series “The Boys” added a content warning to the season 4 finale, which premiered on Thursday.

“This episode contains scenes of fictional political violence,” the update at the start of the episode says. “Any similarities to recent events are completely coincidental and unintentional. Prime Video, Amazon MGM Studios, Sony Pictures Television and the producers of The Boys oppose, in the strongest terms, real-world violence of any kind.”

The show’s official account shared a similar message on Instagram, clarifying that it “is a fictitious series that was filmed in 2023, and any scene or plotline similarities to these real-world events are coincidental and unintentional.”

The episode’s title was originally “Assassination Run,” but it was later changed to “Season Four Finale,” per TV Line.

Season 4 of the series included an ongoing storyline about the planned assassination of President-Elect of the United States Robert Singer. 

The finale’s episode description says: “It’s January 6th as Congress certifies the election results to officially make Bob Singer President and Victoria Neuman his VP. Meanwhile, The Boys try to protect Singer from assassination, not realizing that the assassin is closer than they think.”

At Trump’s campaign rally in western Pennsylvania on Saturday, a shooter, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, managed to get onto a nearby rooftop and begin shooting roughly 150 yards away from the stage with an AR-style rifle before the Secret Service could stop him. A bullet ripped through Trump’s right ear, causing blood to pour down his face. The shooter also killed one rally-goer and injured two others. A Secret Service sniper reportedly shot and killed Crooks from another building while other personnel rushed to protect Trump and escort him off the stage.

“The Boys” is a satirical superhero TV series developed by Eric Kripke for Amazon Prime Video and based on the comic book of the same name. It follows an eponymous team of vigilantes as they combat individuals with superpowers – called “Supes” –  who use their powers for personal gain. The villains work for a large company that ensures the world sees them as heroes.

The series was nominated for eight Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series in 2021. “The Boys” also won six Astra TV Awards and seven Critics’ Choice Super Awards.

All flights from major carriers, including Delta, American, and United, were grounded Friday morning following a massive global technical outage that affected several industries.

The issue reportedly follows an update made by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, one of the world’s largest software providers. The disruption caused computer systems using Microsoft Windows to see nothing but the “blue screen of death.” 

Prominent security consultant Troy Hunt said of the disruption, “This will be the largest IT outage in history.” He also noted, “This is basically what we were all worried about with Y2K, except it’s actually happened this time.”

The outage had a global impact, with outages being reported in the UK, India, Germany, and the Netherlands in addition to the United States. 

“We acknowledge how impactful this is for our customers, and we’re working to still receiving obstructions as soon as possible,” Microsoft said in a statement Friday morning, per People.

“The system was sent an update and that update had a software bug in it and caused an issue with the Microsoft operating system. And we identified this very quickly and remediated the issue. As systems come back online and they’re rebooted, they’re working,” founder and CEO of CrowdStrike George Kurtz said during a Today Show interview on Friday morning.

He added, “We’re deeply sorry for the impact that we’ve caused to customers, to travelers, and to anyone affected by this including our company. It is our mission to make sure that every customer is recovered. We’re not going to relent until we get every customer back to where they were.”

“This is not a security incident or cyberattack,” Kurtz clarified. “The issue has been identified, isolated, and a fix has been deployed.”

The outage could impact businesses ranging from airlines to banks, TV stations, healthcare organizations, hotels, and others, and they might lose millions in revenue due to the disruptions. Independent cybersecurity consultant Lukasz Olejnik told Wired this incident should serve as a warning.

“It reminds us about our dependence on IT and software,” Olejnik said. “When a system has several software systems maintained by various vendors, this is equivalent to placing trust on them. They may be a single point of failure—like here, when various firms feel the impact.”
