‘The Boys’ fifth season will be its finale

Prime Video's hit superhero series concludes with season 5.

Prime Video's acclaimed superhero series, ‘The Boys,’ embarks on its fourth season journey, signaling the beginning of its end. 

Showrunner Eric Kripke confirmed via Twitter that Season 5 will mark the show's finale, aligning with his original vision for the series. 

Kripke tantalisingly describes the impending conclusion as a "gory, epic, moist climax," hinting at the intensity of the upcoming narrative.

#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! pic.twitter.com/3p7Wt4jGA6

Despite the impending conclusion of ‘The Boys,’ the universe it inhabits continues to expand. Spin-offs like ‘Gen V’ and ‘The Boys: Mexico’ have already been greenlit, while the animated anthology ‘The Boys: Diabolical’ provides further exploration of the franchise's world.

Kripke's announcement comes after his admission of past uncertainties regarding the show's duration, drawing parallels to his experience with ‘Supernatural.’ 

"I am – without hyperbole – literally the worst person in history at predicting how long their show should go. No one in the entire history of the entertainment business has been more wrong than me, giving interview after interview on how I thought Supernatural should end after five years," Kripke said of his work on the hit The CW show, which ended up lasting 15 seasons. "So I would be crazy to speculate on how many seasons any show should go. I'm not going to make that same mistake again. But, yes, I do have an ending in mind."

The first three episodes of Season 4 premiere on June 13th, with subsequent episodes releasing weekly.
