Billy Butcher gained the power to battle against supes, thanks to V24. But using the Temp V six times throughout season 3, Butcher has vastly reduced his life. So much so that in the season finale, it is unveiled that Butcher has only six months left to live.
Moreover, with the events of season 4 likely taking place sometime after the season 3 finale, Butcher’s time on Earth is not going to increase. While it could be entirely true that Homelander’s rival meets a tragic end inThe Boysseason 4, the showrunners may find a way to keep him alive.
After all, Karl Urban’s Billy Butcher is undoubtedly one of the biggest reasons why many fans watch the series on Amazon Prime Video.

Did Billy Butcher Die inThe BoysComic Book?
Major Spoilers Ahead!
The line between being an antihero and a villain is fine inThe Boysseries, but no character in the series walks it harder than Billy Butcher. Following the actions taken by the leader of the titular group, Butcher is slowly but surely becoming a villain.
The aftermath of his Temp V abuse will be a major plot point inThe Boysseason 4 and could even result in his death. However, if he indeed dies because of that, it will certainly be a different end to the character than in the comic books.
InThe Boys#71, Billy Butcher finally dies after essentially wiping out his entire team. While no one saw it coming, it was none other than Hughie who killed Butcher by stabbing him in the chest. Hughie took such actions because Butcher lied about killing his parents.
Will Butcher die in a similar way in the TV show? Well, fans shouldn’t count on it, as the TV show is vastly different from the original comic book.
