We’ve known for a while now that The Boys was calling it quits after season five, it was just a matter of waiting for the end. Well, wait no longer: the final season of Prime Video’s hit show will begin on April 8, 2026.
Creator Eric Kripke and some of the cast flew to Brazil for CCXP, where they presented a fresh trailer showing what’s to come in our last time with Huey, Butcher, and evreyone else. Last season ended with Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie going to jail, Annie trying to start a resistance, and Kimiko off the grid. Once they’re all reunited by Butcher, it’s time to finally bring down newly elected president Homelander.
As the Supe-in-Chief intones, a “reckoning” is coming, and we see some of the obstacles our “good” guys will be up against, including Homelander’s son Ryan, a newly unfrozen Soldier Boy, and Jared Padalecki’s playboy-looking character. But the Boys aren’t giving up, not that Butcher will let ’em: he’s ready to “drag their broken, fucking carcasses over the finish” if it means killing Homelander. And this being the show it is, there’s gonna be some bodies dropped along the way, including whoever ol’ Homes is beating to a pulp.
The final season of The Boys will start with two episodes on April 8, followed by weekly episodes until the series finale on May 20. Things aren’t stopping there: a new season of Gen V may still be in the cards, and the prequel series Vought Rising centered on Soldier Boy and Stormfront should come sometime soon.
