Production on The Boys Season 5 has officially ended, with filming wrapped as of June 21, 2025. The series, which transformed the superhero genre into something darker, bloodier, and sharply satirical, is gearing up for its fifth and final season and expectations are sky-high.
Showrunner Eric Kripke confirmed the endgame back in June, stating that the show was always intended to run five seasons. “It’s a super-charged, devastating crescendo,” Kripke told fans, promising closure and casualties. While Prime Video hasn’t announced a release date, post-production timelines suggest a likely Summer 2026 debut.
The main cast is back for one last round of mayhem: Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, and the rest of the core ensemble. Jensen Ackles returns as Soldier Boy and this time, he’s not just passing through. One of the major arcs will focus on the volatile relationship between Homelander and his not-so-deadbeat dad. But Kripke has more up his sleeve. Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins are set to join Ackles in Season 5, marking a full Supernatural reunion under Kripke’s watch.
The plot remains tightly guarded, but Kripke has teased a dive into the psychological wreckage of Homelander, Butcher’s terminal spiral, and the crumbling line between supe and human dominance. Several major deaths are expected and not the kind that get walked back. In Kripke’s words, “no one is safe.” The show will also intersect heavily with its spin-off Gen V, further expanding the Vought universe.
Season 4 of The Boys, which aired in summer 2024, pushed the series deeper into political satire and moral chaos. With Homelander fully unhinged and Victoria Neuman rising to Vice Presidential power, the season painted a bleak, eerily familiar portrait of authoritarianism wrapped in a cape.
Post-production on Season 5 is now underway, with heavy VFX work expected in the months ahead. If timelines hold, the final season will hit Prime Video in mid-2026. For fans, it’s not just the end of The Boys it’s the end of an era where the good guys were never all that good, and the bad guys somehow kept getting worse.
