Announcement at CCXP
During Saturday's panel on the Thunder Stage at CCXP in São Paulo, Brazil, Prime Video revealed details for the concluding season of The Boys, produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios. Showrunner Eric Kripke was joined onstage by cast members Erin Moriarty, Laz Alonso, Karen Fukuhara, Tomer Capone, and Colby Minifie.
Season 5 Details
The fifth season picks up in a world dominated by Homelander, played by Antony Starr, where his erratic and egomaniacal whims control everything. Key characters face dire situations: Hughie (Jack Quaid), Mother's Milk (Laz Alonso), and Frenchie (Tomer Capone) are imprisoned in a 'Freedom Camp,' while Annie (Erin Moriarty) attempts to build resistance against the Supes. Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) is missing, but Butcher (Karl Urban) returns armed with a virus capable of eliminating all Supes, triggering events that will transform the world.
Teaser Highlights
The teaser showcases the return of Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy, preserved in a cryogenic state. It also introduces Jared Padalecki in an undisclosed role, creating a reunion with Ackles and show creator Eric Kripke from their Supernatural days. Kripke has previously shared updates indicating the final season would arrive 'reasonably' soon, aligning with this timeline.
This announcement caps the main series, following the recent conclusion of Gen V's second season, which ties into The Boys' finale. Additional projects like the prequel Vought Rising and The Boys: Mexico are in development but separate from the core show's end.
