It’s official: The Boys season 5 is on the way, ready to close out Prime Video’s blockbuster superhero satires in explosive style. Even before the finale of season 4 of The Boys dropped, it was already clear that this was the penultimate season. Now season 5 is confirmed as the series’ final chapter, with all signs pointing to a grand finale. And while it’s still in early development, showrunner Eric Kripke has hinted at what’s to come as he takes fans through his “last ten pages” of twisted superhero carnage.

But with The Boys, no finale is ever a quick hit. The fourth season boasted a massive 21% viewership increase over its predecessor and wasn’t shy about tackling the political landscape of 2024. The final episode even required a last-minute title change, dropping its intended name after a high-profile assassination attempt. Despite the unexpected drama, Season 4 left fans hungry for the final installment, ready for Season 5 to wrap up all the loose ends.

Eric Kripke knows how it all ends

Regarding Season 5, Eric Kripke didn’t leave much to speculation. “I know that moment,” Kripke said, “where the title card comes up … and you see where everybody is.” His original plan was for The Boys to end with five seasons; that vision has remained intact. After all, with only eight episodes to go, the showrunner has made it clear that he’s focusing on giving the main cast a proper ending and putting a big focus on characters like Butcher and Starlight as the series wraps up.

Season 5’s writers room started about five weeks before Season 4 aired on June 13, and according to Kripke, fans should expect about two years until the final episodes hit screens. Season 5 should premiere with this timeline in mid-2026, perfectly in line with The Boy’s typical production pace. As Kripke himself said, “I know where I want it to go,” so we’re set for a suitably explosive series finale.

Jensen Ackles as a soldier boy & new faces in the cast

Jensen Ackles‘ Soldier Boy is confirmed for a full return, now as a series regular, and we’re talking big things. A hit with fans, Ackles brings a unique, gritty vibe to the show’s dynamic cast, including Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty and Chace Crawford. Season 4 featured the long-awaited debut of Jeffrey Dean Morgan, plus cameos from Tilda Swinton and Will Ferrell, signaling just how star-studded the final chapter could be.

There’s more star power coming in too. Boys newcomer Daveed Diggs has joined the lineup, along with Stranger Things’ Mason Dye as Bombsight, one of the oldest Supes in history. Dye’s character may even be headed to Vought Rising, the upcoming spinoff series in which Ackles is also expected to reprise his role. The doors to Vought’s wild universe are wide open, and Ackles dropped big hints during Comic-Con on July 26, where he announced the spinoff alongside returning star Aya Cash.

A fitting farewell – and a new beginning

As much as Season 5 marks the end, The Boys universe will continue with several spin-offs, including Vought Rising, led by The Boys executive producer Paul Grellong. Ackles and Cash will lead the new series, which promises to delve deeper into Vought’s influence on Supes — and yes, there will be plenty more political digs and eyebrow-raising satire. Another spinoff, The Boys: Mexico, is also in development, with Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal taking the reins as executive producers and possibly making appearances.

Meanwhile, Gen V, a college spinoff that follows young, hormone-fueled Supes, has been renewed for a second season. Initially headlined by Chance Perdomo, the show will continue even after his tragic passing, with producers honoring Perdomo’s role as Andre Anderson by choosing not to recast.

Season 5 will bring The Boys to a close, but the legacy of Kripke’s cruel, unforgivingly wild world is far from over.
