The Boys may have their last battle within the close to future.
Eric Kripke, the showrunner of Prime Video‘s super(anti)hero series, said on social media Tuesday that the show’s fifth season — which the streamer ordered in Could — will likely be its final.
“Season 4 premiere week is a good time to announce: Season 5 will be the final season!” Kripke wrote on X. “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.”
Kripke’s put up is accompanied by a script web page purportedly from the season 4 finale — all the things is redacted save for a “fade in” digicam route on the high of the web page and the next message from the author: “See you for our final season, motherfuckers!”

The Boys has been one in every of Prime Video’s extra profitable unique collection: It repeatedly makes Nielsen’s streaming high 10 when new episodes are working, and it has spawned a by-product, Gen V, and an animated anthology set in the identical world referred to as Diabolical. Due to that, Kripke instructed The Hollywood Reporter lately, The Boys‘ budget hasn’t taken too giant successful as media firms in the reduction of.
“We’ve been lucky in that The Boys has become one of their flagships. We get a level of freedom that it’ll be hard to repeat anywhere,” mentioned Kripke, THR’s TV Producer of the Yr. “That said, we have budget battles. But, ultimately, we figure out a way. We made Gen V for a lot less money, and there’s a target that we have to hit on that show — whether we like it or not. There’s a couple of things in development. You have to pre-negotiate the budgets, and those budgets are a lot tighter than what we’ve had in the past. So, we’re feeling it.”
