Kripke shared a photo of the final page of the Season 4 script alongside the announcement. He admitted waiting for official approval from Vought, a nod to the show’s fictional corporation that controls superheroes, before revealing this news.
“The Boys” has always been known for pushing boundaries. Season five will be no different. Kripke promises a “gory, epic, moist climax” for the final season. Season 5 will bring the story full circle, fulfilling Kripke’s original vision for the series.
Season four finds the world teetering on the edge as Victoria Neuman’s political aspirations threaten to solidify Homelander’s power. With Butcher facing his mortality and personal demons, the team must overcome their differences to prevent a global catastrophe.
With Season 4 still underway, a premiere date for the final season remains unknown. Historically, there’s been a two-year gap between seasons, suggesting a potential 2026 release for Season 5.
“The Boys” is ending, but the world of Vought continues with the spin-off series “Gen V.” Whose second season will soon premiere despite the passing of actor Chance Perdomo.
“The Boys” is based on the comic book by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. It has garnered a cult following with its dark humor, social commentary, and unfiltered action. The series boasts an impressive cast, including Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, and Antony Starr. Season 4 adds Rosemarie DeWitt to the star-studded line-up, featuring five “Supernatural” stars, including Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jensen Ackles, Jim Beaver, Rob Benedict, and Nathan Mitchell as Black Noir.
Watch season four of “The Boys” now on Prime Video, with new episodes airing weekly.
