Claudia Doumit, known for her role as VP-elect Victoria Neuman in The Boys Season 4, initially auditioned for a different character in the series. Neuman played a crucial role in seasons 2-4, with the Season 4 finale sparking controversy due to its assassination plots involving the president and vice president.
To address the backlash, the episode title was changed to a generic Season 4 Finale, and a disclaimer against political violence was aired before the episode. In an interview, Doumit revealed that she auditioned for the role of Ashley the publicist but eventually landed the role of Neuman in Season 2.
