- This series seems to be moving towards comic comic-accurate ending with Butcher going out to commit a homicide.
The Boys Season 4 has been as diabolical as it can get but sadly, with Episode 8 released, the joyride has come to an end. This season gave us a lot of cool and unexpected moments that have given the overall story a lot of new depth. However, since it has already been confirmed that there is going to be a The Boys Season 5, which will be the final season, the fun is not over yet. So, in this article, find out about the speculative release date and everything else we know about The Boys Season 5.
When Will The Boys Season 5 Come Out
The Boys Season 5 is expected to release in 2026, going by the trend.
If we look at the pattern for how The Boys has been released over time, it generally takes 1.5 to 2 years for a new season to be released. With that being said, we can speculate that The Boys Season 5 can come out by the summer of 2026. However, if you are thinking that the fun of The Boys universe has come to an end, you are massively wrong since Season 2 of Gen V started filming in May itself and might see a release by the end of 2025.
Gen V season 2 will set up the stage for The Boys Season 5 but if you want to know how, we do not have an answer just yet but maybe in a couple of months some info might start coming in. Along with this, a spinoff of The Boys set in Mexico is also being made so it’s safe to say that we will not be kept devoid of the craziness of The Boys universe unless Season 5 is released.
Also, it has already been confirmed that The Boys Season 5 will be the final season of the TV show.
How Many Episodes Will The Boys Season 5 Have
The Boys Season 5 is expected to have 8 episodes, similar to the previous seasons. While there is no official confirmation, it is highly likely that the showrunners will follow the same pattern for the final season of The Boys.
The Boys Season 5 Cast
The Boys Season 4’s end is probably the best ending for a series I have seen in a while. This series ended with Butcher getting some diabolical powers and The Boys being captured by Homelander’s super army. So, what could be the cast for Season 5? Some cast members are bound to return but as of now, there is no official confirmation for some cast members. It is confirmed that Karl Urban will return as Butcher, Jack Quaid as Hughie, Erin Moriarty as Starlight, Karen Fukahara as Kimiko, Tomer Capone as Frenchie, and Laz Alonzo as Mother’s Milk.
We will also see Anthony Starr return as Homelander, Susan Heyward as Sister Sage, Valorie Curry as Firecracker, Chace Crawford as The Deep, and Nathan Mitchell as Black Noir. Along with these cast members, we might also see Maddie Phillips return as Cate Dunlap and Asa Germann as Sam in The Boys Season 5.
More importantly, we’ve seen Soldier Boy in The Boys Season 4 Finale, and therefore, Jensen Ackles will also appear in The Boys Season 5.
The Boys Season 5 Plot Speculation
The Boys Season 5 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.
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 of The Boys Season 5, 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.
Will The Boys Season 5 Continue after Gen V Season 2?
In The Boys Season 4, we saw Gen V characters like Cate Dunlap and Sam Riordan appear briefly. With Gen V Season 2 already renewed and expected to release next year, we can see more characters of Gen V in The Boys Season 5. Moreover, the story of both shows have also tied in so far and we might see The Boys Season 5 continue where Gen V Season 2 end.
