Season 4 of The Boys was an intense experience, but the story isn’t finished. The show has been renewed for one last season, Season 5, which will be the grand finale. Fans have been following the show closely as The Boys fight against Vought, a big company that manages corrupt superheroes and hides their worst actions.
The end of Season 4 left many questions unanswered, so it’s no surprise that Season 5 is coming. However, it will not be available on Prime Video for a while. Here’s what we know about Season 5 of The Boys.
When Is ‘The Boys’ Season 5 Coming Out?
There is no official release date for Season 5 yet. Since Season 4 recently ended, it’s too early for a date. Based on previous seasons, it’s likely that Season 5 will be released in 2025 or later.
The showrunner, Kripke, has shared some updates about the final season. Although Season 5 is in progress, the details are still rough. The writers’ room has just started working on it.
“Even I don’t. I mean, we’re about a month into the writers room right now, so we have some pretty cool notions. It’s a very raw lava-esque deal right now. It hasn’t hardened into anything, but I’m excited. I think there’s some crazy sh-t’s been talked about, that’s for sure.”
Who Are the Cast in ‘The Boys’ Season 5?
Season 5 will bring back Karl Urban as Butcher, Antony Starr as Homelander, Jack Quaid as Hughie Campbell, Erin Moriarty as Starlight, Jessie T. Usher as A-Train, Chase Crawford as The Deep, Nathan Mitchell as Black Noir II, Tomer Capone as Frenchie, Laz Alonso as Mother’s Milk, Karen Fukuhara as Kimiko Miyashiro, Colby Minifie as Ashley Barrett, and Cameron Rovetti as Ryan. Valorie Curry as Firecracker and Susan Heyward as Sister Sage might also return.
Fans who watched the mid-credits scene in Season 4 might have seen Soldier Boy, suggesting Jensen Ackles will return. Paul Reiser will also be back as The Legend and Jared Padalecki will join the cast. Details about Padalecki’s role are still unknown.
“Well, I’ll say this: Kripke and I texted today. It’s not been written yet, but I think he was saying [the final season] doesn’t even film until 2025. So yeah, I’m going to go play in Kripke’s newest playground. I had a great time the first time around, so I’m sure I’ll have a great time here again. I love the show. I think it’s hilarious and exciting.”
What Happened in ‘The Boys’ Season 4?
In the Season 4 finale, things got intense as Homelander took drastic actions. Homelander and Firecracker exposed Neuman as a Supe during her VNN show. He used his laser to reveal her true identity live on air.
Butcher went through a shocking change after using Compound V. He turned into a powerful and dangerous force, killing Neuman in a brutal way. As Butcher walked away, fans were left wondering about this darker side of him.
With The Boys now fugitives, President Calhoun has taken power and sided with Homelander. He declared martial law and ordered superheroes to report to Homelander. The Boys are on the run and face various dangers, including being ambushed and captured.
In a mid-credits scene, Soldier Boy was shown sleeping in a cryogenic chamber. This reveals that Homelander’s father is still alive. Given their past conflicts, Soldier Boy’s return could impact Homelander’s plans for the future.
