With The Boys Season 5‘s release date announcement potentially getting closer, there is a lot of excitement surrounding the Eric Kripke show. Following the shocking ending to the fourth season, the fifth season will aim to raise the stakes. It also plans to deliver an ultimatum that will push the incredible story even further.
When is The Boys Season 5’s expected release date?
While nothing official has been announced yet, The Boys Season 5 will most likely premiere in 2026. Filming for the final season is currently underway, and Eric Kripke confirmed in late March that they were already “halfway through shooting” the fifth season. Moreover, even Karl Urban, who plays Billy Butcher in the show, confirmed in a social media post back in 2024 that The Boys Season 5 will have a 2026 release date.
The window for the release date will be officially announced soon.
Who is in The Boys Season 5’s cast?
Most of the cast members from The Boys Season 4 will reprise their respective roles in Season 5, barring Victoria Newman (Claudia Doumit) and Joe Kessler (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), whose roles ended in the fourth season. Jensen Ackles will also be returning as Soldier Boy.
Apart from the returning cast members, who include Antony Starr, Jack Quaid, Karl Urban, Erin Moriarty, Laz Alonso, Karen Fukuhara, Tomer Capone, Chace Crawford, Colby Minifie, Cameron Crovetti, and Dominique McElligott, among others, there will also be some new faces joining the series.
Stranger Things star Mason Dye is joining the cast as the superhero Bombsight. Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins will also join the cast of The Boys Season 5. However, their roles have not been revealed yet. Additionally, more cast members may be announced soon.
What story will The Boys Season 5’s plot tell?
The Boys Season 5 will pick up right from where the fourth season left off. The fourth season depicted how Homelander and the superheroes on his side have nearly become the most powerful institution in the country. They are now looking forward to grabbing even more power. However, Billy Butcher, who slaughtered multiple people in the fourth season, will try to stop Homelander himself.
Moreover, Soldier Boy will be back this season, as revealed in the post-credit scene of the fourth season. This means the show will also explore the father-son dynamic between Soldier Boy and Homelander.
Fans can expect a lot of gore, many deaths, and big plot twists in the fifth season of the show.
Is The Boys Season 5 the last one?
Yes, The Boys Season 5 will be the last season of the show. However, the spinoff series Gen V will continue with more seasons, and there is always the possibility of more spinoffs.
More details about The Boys Season 5 are expected to arrive soon.
