The Boys is back in town! With little more than a month to go before Eric Kripke’s r-rated Prime Video superhero series airs its bound-to-be-bloody fifth and final season, Amazon has today dropped the final official trailer for Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and The Boys’ final stand against Antony Starr’s POTUS-in-all-but-title Homelander. And as you may suspect, The Boys aren’t about to go out with a whimper. For exploding bodies, tentacular action, considerable cursing, and, y’know, all that Boys stuff you know and love but even bigger and bolder and bloodier, check out the trailer below;
Homelander’s in the Oval Office and after some V-One. Billy Butcher and Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) are going mano a mano. Gen V‘s blood manipulating MVP Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair) and energy blasting gender transformer Jordan Li (London Thor/Derek Luh) have reteamed with Starlight (Erin Moriarty). Superfolk are fighting, exploding, tentacling, and clashing left, right, and centre. Plus — PLUS! — we’re getting an impromptu Supernatural reunion thanks to series guest stars Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins (though who they’re playing is really anybody’s guess still at this stage.) Yeah, after that Season 4 finale we’re thinking this feels like a big final huzzah for The Boys is in store with Season 5 and we are here for it.
The official synopsis for The Boys’ final chapter reads: “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. It’s the climax, people. Big stuff’s gonna happen.”
Will Homelander get his V-One fix and rule the world? Will Billy Butcher have his way and wipe out all supes for good? Are Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki going to end the series driving off into the sunset in a Chevy Impala? We don’t know folks — we do not know. But do you know what? We can’t wait to find out when The Boys’ final season begins on Prime Video on 8 April. Bring. It. On!
