April 2026: Big Prime Video Series Will End With Its Final And Fifth Season
The biggest series ever on Prime Video is approaching its end, and everything suggests that the finale will leave nothing to the imagination.
The end of The Boys is approaching, and everything indicates that the finale will leave nothing to the imagination. In recent weeks, the creators have deliberately released small details that together paint a picture of a finale where old scores are settled and new threats emerge.
Season five takes place six months after the events of Gen V, but that spin-off is not a requirement to follow the story. The core lies in the confrontation between Billy Butcher and Homelander. Showrunner Eric Kripke has already hinted that defeating Homelander does not automatically mean salvation. According to him, Butcher himself could grow into a danger that his team can barely control.
Several new characters make their appearance in the final season. Jared Padalecki is expected to play Mr. Marathon, a lightning-fast super who might be deployed to replace A-Train. Misha Collins steps into the role of Jack from Jupiter, a former Seven member who can fly and is invulnerable. Daveed Diggs appears as Oh Father, a fanatical religious leader, while Mason Dye can be seen as Bombsight, a figure referring to Vought's past.
Some things can also be deduced from the released episode titles. For instance, Teenage Kix refers to the team where Homelander wants to place his son Ryan. A later title hints at a storyline in which Butcher, after his battle against Homelander, comes into conflict with his own team due to the use of a deadly virus against supes.
The fifth and final season of The Boys starts on April 8, 2026. On that day, the first two episodes of the eight-part final chapter will be released immediately. The trailer suggests a hardcore denouement with major losses and a bloody final battle that should conclude the series in style.
