With The Boys Season 5 steadily approaching its release date, Karl Urban has come out to share some tidbits about the final installment of the fan-favorite Prime Video series. Urban, who portrays the eccentric supe-hunter William ‘Billy’ Butcher on the show, opened up about the plot of the upcoming edition of The Boys in a recent interview, while also providing insight into the goal of Antony Starr’s Homelander.

Karl Urban says The Boys will spend most of Season 5 ‘trying to stop Homelander’

During his appearance at the recently concluded Tokyo Comic-Con 2025, the New Zealand actor talked about what fans can expect from the last season of the show. In the panel discussion, he stated that the much-awaited Season 5 of The Boys will kick off with Billy and the gang getting “back together.”

As per The Direct, Karl Urban noted, “At the beginning of the season, Homelander’s goal is to become a god. He’s going to rule the world, and the only people that can stop him are Butcher and The Boys.”

The Mortal Kombat 2 star then added, “However, The Boys are in prison. So, first of all, we need to get the gang back together. And then, we spend the whole season trying to stop Homelander. You’re in for a crazy, wild, fun ride. Let me tell you, nobody is safe. Nobody. It’s going to be fun.”

Furthermore, Jack Quaid, who plays Hughie Campbell in the series, also chimed in on the conversation about The Boys Season 5. While he refrained from giving away any information, he exclaimed that fans can expect big things from the ultimate season of the show.

“We can’t give too much away, but I will say I’m very happy with the way everything wraps up. I think Eric Kripke and our writers did an incredible job bringing an end to this amazing story. I think fans will be very, very happy with how it all turns out,” Quaid stated.

The Novocaine star concluded, “I know it’s very vague, but I can’t say anything, or they will kill me. You have a lot to look forward to.”

Meanwhile, The Boys Season 5 is currently on track to premiere on Prime Video on April 8, 2026.
