- This series seems to be moving towards comic comic-accurate ending with Butcher going out to commit a homicide.
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 is setting up The Boys Season 5, and now we also have a production update about the final season from Eric Kripke, the show creator himself. So, here’s everything we know about The Boys Season 5.
When Will The Boys Season 5 Come Out?
The Boys Season 5 is set to release sometime in 2026, but as of now, we don’t have a given release date for the upcoming season. However, we do have confirmation from Eric Kripke shared The Boys Season 5 production update and said that the series finale will be released sooner than we expected. He revealed that most of the post-production work is complete, leaving only a few final touches. Based on that statement, there is a good chance that we could get to see the release of The Boys Season 5 in early 2026.
Is There a Trailer for The Boys Season 5?
Unfortunately, the trailer for The Boys Season 5 has not been released yet. Since the final season is expected to air sometime in 2026, we can expect Prime Video to drop a trailer in the first half of 2026.
Who Is in the Cast of The Boys Season 5?
The Boys Season 5 will bring all the surviving cast members of the previous season. However, this time around, we would also get to see characters from Gen V being a part of the upcoming season. 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. Since we are already familiar with a majority of the cast members, let’s simply focus on the new additions.
Now, we already know that Jensen Ackles will return as Soldier Boy for The Boys Season 5. Along with him, his old-time co-stars from Supernatural, Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins, will be joining the cast of The Boys Season 5 in undisclosed roles.

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.
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.
