A cornerstone of Prime Video’s library, The Boys is gearing up to say goodbye. During the CCXP event in Brazil, the platform officially announced the fifth and final season of the series created by Eric Kripke, along with the first trailer. This final chapter will stream exclusively on Prime Video starting April 8, 2026, with two episodes dropping initially, followed by one episode each week until the grand finale on May 20, 2026.
Produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios, the adaptation of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's comics has established itself since 2019 as one of the most biting reimaginings of the superhero myth. After a fourth season characterized by a surge in political and media-driven violence, the series is now gearing up for a total showdown.
In this final season, the world is now entirely under the thumb of the Protector, driven by his megalomaniacal obsessions. Hughie, La Crème, and Frenchie are detained in a “Freedom Camp,” while Annie strives to rally a resistance against the overwhelming dominance of the Supes. Kimiko has gone missing. Butcher’s return, armed with a virus capable of wiping out all superheroes, kicks off a chain of unstoppable events.
Attending the Brazilian event, Eric Kripke was joined by Erin Moriarty, Laz Alonso, Karen Fukuhara, Tomer Capone, and Colby Minifie. Together, they reminisced about the series’ most memorable moments before unveiling new footage that promises a final season bold, political, and unyielding.
Since its debut, The Boys has consistently pushed the boundaries of its satire of celebrity culture, capitalism, and authoritarian slide, echoing current American issues. This latest season aims to bring the story to a close by embracing its outrageousness fully, while also testing the fragile alliances among the characters.
The series, created by Eric Kripke and backed by a team of executive producers including Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, has garnered a strong track record of nominations, notably at the Emmy Awards, Critics Choice Awards, and Critics Choice Super Awards.
