The final episode of the current series of The Boys has added a warning about “fictional political violence” following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

The episode of the Amazon Prime Video superhero satire features a storyline during which assassination attempts are made on the president-elect and vice president-elect.

The episode was written a year ago and was filmed in 2023 but has been released just days after the assassination attempt against Republican nominee and former US president Mr Trump at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
