The Boys to End with Season 5 on Prime Video

The Boys will come to an end with its already-confirmed fifth season. 

Series creator and executive producer Eric Kripke shared the news on X (formerly Twitter) days before The Boys Season 4 premieres. The show returns with a three-episode premiere on Thursday, June 13, on Prime Video. 

“#TheBoys Season 4 Premiere Week is a good time to announce: Season 5 will be the Final Season! Always my plan, I just had to be cagey till I got the final OK from Vought. Thrilled to bring the story to a gory, epic, moist climax. Watch Season 4 in 2 DAYS, cause the end has begun!” Kripke wrote.

Variety reports that, according to Kripke, The Boys Season 5 is being written, with plans to shoot the final season from November 2024 through mid-2025. 

Prime Video renewed The Boys for its eight-episode fifth season in May 2024. 

“The Boys is an unabashed and bold series that continues captivating our customers all over the world by piercing the cultural fabric season after season,” Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon MGM Studios, said.

“We are proud of this series that has grown into a global franchise, and we are thrilled that Eric Kripke and the creative team have more engaging stories to tell for all the loyal fans,” Sanders added.

“The Boys could be the best job I’ll ever have. What other show allows me to write about politics, capitalism, family, and exploding genitalia, though not in that order,” Eric Kripke said.

“The cast and crew are deeply grateful to Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios for the opportunity to tell this story for another season. My only problem is that since this year promises to be free of any conflict or misinformation, we’re not sure what to write about,” Kripke continued.

“Since its premiere, devoted fans across the globe have been down with The Boys for this unapologetically wild ride, and we couldn’t be more proud of our producers, writers, cast, and crew who bring this genius insanity to life,” Katherine Pope, President, Sony Pictures Television Studios, said.

“Now, with a fifth chapter to their story, we can’t wait to see where Eric Kripke and The Boys go next,” Pope added.

Based on the comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys Season 4 stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Cameron Crovetti.

The show’s upcoming season will welcome Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Ennis, Robertson, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Phil Sgriccia, Michaela Starr, Paul Grellong, David Reed, Meredith Glynn, Judalina Neira, Ken F. Levin, and Jason Netter executive produce The Boys.

Sony Pictures Television, Amazon MGM Studios with Kripke Enterprises, Original Film, and Point Grey Pictures produce.
