The freaking wait is over, people! Our prayers for action-packed chaos have been answered. Mark your calendars for April 8, 2026, because that’s when 'The Boys' Season 5 smashes its way onto Prime Video, as Executive Producer Eric Kripke announced at the epic CCXP Brazil! We'll get a double dose of mayhem with two episodes right out the gate, followed by must-watch weekly episodes leading up to the mind-blowing series finale on May 20, 2026.
We finally laid eyes on the long-anticipated trailer, and let’s just say it’s a BLAST of adrenaline! The legendary Karl Urban is back as Butcher, rallying the Boys for a berserk showdown against the increasingly untethered Homelander, portrayed with chilling intensity by Antony Starr. But hold onto your seats – this season screams danger from every angle, with not everyone guaranteed to make it out in one piece. Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy? He’s on ice, dodging Homelander’s ever-watchful eye, but who knows what twists are in store as Homelander unleashes his terrifying side, pounding someone…or something…to a bloody pulp. A major character might bite the dust. Shocking, right?
Watch the teaser trailer here and get hyped!
In the ultimate showdown, Homelander reigns supreme, his tyrannical whims shaping the world to his will. Our heroes – Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie – find themselves locked away in a sinister “Freedom Camp,” while Annie battles on, trying to spark a resistance. And where’s Kimiko? Missing! But oh man, when Butcher busts back into the fray with a Supe-killing virus at his disposal, all hell breaks loose, kickstarting a chain of events that will change the game for everyone involved!
Season 5 picks up where Season 4 left off, dovetailing neatly with the raw energy of spinoff Gen V’s second season. Fans have been buzzing about whether powerhouse Marie from Gen V could take on the overpowered Homelander. While she’s not quite Neo in The Matrix yet, as Kripke puts it, Marie's ability to control blood could make her an unprecedented threat, playing a potential wild card in this final act.
Will Homelander meet his maker at last? Kripke’s lips are sealed on that front, but he teases that Billy Butcher’s got first dibs on taking him down. Yet, he’s far from alone – Stan Edgar, Marie, Annie, and even Huey are itching to get their hits in on the psychotic Superman wannabe.
Plus, Kripke hints that Starlight's resistance, with crucial ally A-Train, is revving up to reclaim power from this superhero dictatorship. Get ready, fans. This is not just 'The Boys' - it's an all-out war!
Prepare yourselves for explosive action, devastating losses, and the monumental conclusion to 'The Boys'. Circle April 8, 2026, folks, because it’s gonna be one hell of a thrill ride!
