Spoiler Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Boys Season 4 and Gen V Season 2
When last we saw Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and The Boys, things were looking pretty diabolical for our r-rated band of supes. In The Boys’ Season 4 finale, Homelander (Antony Starr) had all but become the President of America, our heroes had been forced into hiding, and Billy had just effectively signed his own death warrant with a big ol’ shot of Compound V. Now, following college-set spin-off Gen V‘s Season 2 climax, The Boys is almost back — and one last bloody battle with Homelander awaits as we prepare to say goodbye to Eric Kripke’s outrageous Prime Video hit. Check out the teaser trailer below;
Well if that ain’t a herald of the beginning of the end then we don’t know what is… sheesh! Styx’s ‘Renegade’ playing in the background. Hughie (Jack Quaid) and Annie ‘Starlight’ January (Erin Moriarty) exchanging pensive looks. Frenchie (Tomer Capone) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) sharing a tender moment. The Boys bringing the fight to Homelander and Homelander bringing it right back to ’em — now with added Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) and, in a cool Supernatural reunion, mysterious series newcomer Jared Padalecki. Yeah, we’re thinkin’ The Boys is going out with a bang… and a lot of blood. And honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
The official synopsis for the final season reads as follows: “It’s Homelander’s world, completely subject to his erratic, egomaniacal whims. Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned in a “Freedom Camp.” Annie struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko is nowhere to be found. But when Butcher reappears, ready and willing to use a virus that will wipe all Supes off the map, he sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change the world and everyone in it.”
With the fate of the world — and its supes — hanging in the balance, all eyes will be on Prime Video when The Boys makes its fifth and final season premiere on 8 April, 2026. As the synopsis signs off by saying, “It’s the climax, people. Big stuff’s gonna happen.” And we are ready, folks. We. Are. Ready!
