The penultimate episode ended with major consequences for the Boys after Frenchie died protecting Kimiko during a violent confrontation linked to Homelander’s growing control.

Created by Eric Kripke and based on the comic series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys became one of Prime Video’s most successful original series following its debut in 2019.
