'The Boys' Season 5 is scheduled to arrive soon on Amazon Prime Video, with most of the lead characters returning this time. Have a look at the release date and other details.
After a wait of more than a year, The Boys is finally returning with the fifth and final season on Amazon Prime Video. The satirical superhero show has built a huge fan base with its action sequences, visual effects, and graphic violence. While it has an ensemble cast, Antony Starr’s character, 'Homelander,' has become famous among the audience. Apart from these, the show has been a recipient of multiple nominations at the Emmy Awards.
The success of The Boys led to a spinoff show titled Gen V, which was also released on Amazon Prime Video in 2023 and has aired for two seasons so far. Meanwhile, the majority of the cast members are returning for The Boys Season 5. Fans are specifically eager to know how the show will conclude after four successful seasons.
The first teaser of The Boys Season 5 was released in December 2025. The initial frames of the fifth season’s teaser hinted at the fact that the new instalment is going to bring an emotional experience for the audience. The teaser also shows 'Billy Butcher' preparing his entire group for one last battle. Towards the end of the teaser, the release date is revealed as April 8, 2026. The Boys Season 5 will have eight episodes. Notably, two episodes will arrive on the premiere date, followed by one episode being released every week. The fifth season will end on May 20, 2026.
The makers have preferred to maintain silence in terms of the storyline for The Boys Season 5. Showrunner and developer, Eric Kripke, has claimed in various interviews that the final season will have a higher body count compared to other seasons. The fifth season is expected to start with 'Annie' helping to rescue 'The Boys.' Moreover, the confrontation between 'Homelander' and 'Soldier Boy' is supposed to be an important part of the storyline.
'Butcher' might kill a lot of people, considering that he is already possessed by the virus that can destroy a 'Supe.' 'Butcher’s' former allies might arrive in time to stop him in case he decides to go for a massacre. Furthermore, the real faces of 'The Seven' and 'Vought' are now known to most of the people, and they are expected to stop pretending to be superheroes anymore. On the other hand, 'Homelander’s' control over America through 'President Calhoun' is supposed to bring various consequences.
A majority of the characters over the last four seasons of The Boys will undoubtedly return in Season 5. However, a few people have been confirmed to appear in the final season. This includes Paul Reiser, London Thor, Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, Maddie Phillips, Asa Germann, Keeya King, Giancarlo Esposito, and Olivia Morandin. Furthermore, David Andrews and Rosemarie DeWitt would be the recurring cast members.
The new season will include a guest appearance by Mason Dye, playing 'Bombsight.' The same list features the names of Jared Padalecki, Misha Collins, and Seth Rogen. Among the leads, Karl Urban will return as 'Billy Butcher,' along with Antony Starr as 'Homelander.' Erin Moriarty will appear as 'Starlight,' followed by Jack Quaid as 'Hughie,' Jessie T. Usher as 'A-Train,' Chace Crawford as 'The Deep,' Tomer Capone as 'Frenchie,' Nathan Mitchell as 'Black Noir II,' and more. Apart from them, there are Laz Alonso, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minfie, Cameron Crovetti, Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, Jensen Ackles, and more.
