The Boys has finished its polarizing fourth season with another round of socking antics and insane action, but creator Eric Kripke says we haven’t seen anything yet.
In a recent interview with LADBible, the showrunner said what we saw amp up in the season four finale will lead to the most explosive season of The Boys yet, quite literally in the case of some.
Kripke tells the outlet, “You know, I think the finale of season four really shows you that we’ve been planning five years all along because there’s no way a show goes one more season after the events of that finale. As far as we’re concerned, it’s our show’s version of the apocalypse.”
He adds, “Homelander gets everything he has wanted from the beginning, which is to completely remake the United States in his image and according to his whims. The Boys are at their lowest point; most of them are captured, and we worry for their future.”
With one last season left, the creator is planning an all-out event: “I always look at it as of the five seasons, we’re kind of at that point, that’s sort of the end of the second act of a movie where everyone’s really at their low point, and they’ve all faced their own personal demons. Now, they need to really come together in the fifth season and save the world.”
Little is known about The Boys Season 5, but it’s reported to have eight episodes and is looking to bring on some major A-list stars.
With no set premiere date for the final season, reports say the series won’t return until at least 2026.
