The Boys Season 5 will culminate the epic saga that released its first season in 2019. Based on Garth Ennis’s comic of the same name, the TV show is based on super-powered beings, but there’s a twist. While in most superhero movies and TV shows, we see superheroes as inherently good, in the world of The Boys, superheroes are a menace to society. The Boys Season 4 ended on a massive cliffhanger, and now we await the final season. We already know that Gen V Season 2 set up The Boys Season 5 to an extent, and now, let’s dive right into all we know about the release date, cast, plot, and everything we need to know about The Boys Season 5.
When Is The Boys Season 5 Coming Out?
The Boys Season 5 will release on April 8, 2026. Initially, it was speculated that Season 5 would be released about the same time as The Boys Season 4. However, the new season is set to release two months earlier than the previous one. This is great news for the fandom, simply because the anticipation for this season is sky-high, and fans will get some much-awaited answers.

The Boys Season 5 Plot Speculation
The final season might just give us one of the best plots we have seen in a while. Now that Butcher has powers, he is out to kill all the supes he can and is most probably going to create that contagious strain of the supe-killing virus. On the other hand, the rest of the team, along with some new additions, will try to save the world from Homelander’s rule. Looking at the teaser trailer, it appears that this season is going to be quite intense.
Moreover, The Boys seems to be moving towards a comic-accurate ending where Butcher is killed at the hands of someone you would never expect. There are not a lot of details regarding the plot, but as soon as we have something on our hands, you guys will be the first ones to know. Till then, stay tuned with us for further updates while we wait for The Boys Season 5 release.
