The highly anticipated fifth and final season of The Boys has officially begun production. Showrunner Eric Kripke revealed the title of the first episode, “Fifteen Inches of Sheer Dynamite,” on X, along with a glimpse of the script’s cover page.
This announcement marks the beginning of the end for the hit Prime Video series, which has captured audiences since its debut in 2019.
What We Know About The Boys Season 5
While an exact release date hasn’t been announced, the final season is expected to stream in 2026.
The series, based on Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson comics, follows a group of vigilantes battling corrupt superheroes.
The upcoming season promises to deliver more of the show’s signature blend of dark humour, intense action, and biting social commentary.
The returning cast includes fan favourites like Karl Urban (Billy Butcher), Jack Quaid (Hughie Campbell), Antony Starr (Homelander), and Erin Moriarty (Starlight). New faces joining the ensemble include Daveed Diggs, Mason Dye, and notably, Jared Padalecki. Padalecki reunites with Kripke after the Supernatural collaboration.
Padalecki’s role remains under wraps, but speculation suggests a connection to Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy.
What to Expect from the Final Chapter
Kripke has teased that not all characters will survive the final season, stating, “Anyone who dies in season 5 will richly deserve it.” While fans are eager to see how storylines wrap up, many wonder if Billy Butcher’s dark turn from Season 4 will lead to redemption or destruction.
The creative team has hinted at a significant departure from the comics, keeping viewers guessing how this explosive saga will conclude.
