Series creator Eric Kripke revealed their approach to developing The Boys episodes. He also teased how current events (and how these unfold) will be written into Season 5's storylines.

Eric Kripke said they're developing The Boys Season 5's script on the fly. "I mean, they're not all written, by the way," he told Forbes. "They're about half-written. I mean, look - things adjust all the time." That revealed so much about their creative approach, which also put the previous seasons' plots in perspective. The Boys does not pull any punches in tackling difficult issues; Kripke has confirmed the show is a cautionary tale on authoritarianism, and Homelander is the embodiment of absolute, unchecked power. Kripke asserted that has always been their goal.

The Boys offered glimpses of Homelander at his breaking point, which doesn't bode well for anyone caught in his tantrums. Showrunner Eric Kripke hinted the fans will finally see the supe's complete meltdown in the series finale.

Homelander could go full rage mode in The Boys' Season 5 finale. Showrunner Eric Kripke teased as much by describing the supe's mental state coming into the final season. "He's literally all trauma," he told Variety. That could suggest he's finally lost his humanity; he now has unfettered power as Vought overlord and United States dictator. He also has the support of a supe army, and that validation could push him to sever his relationship with Ryan. These fly in the face of his impending mortality, however, which fuels internal conflicts he "resolved" in Season 4 when he massacred those scientists at the Vought laboratory.

Photos taken from the set of The Boys season 5 show the sinister lengths that Homelander (Antony Starr) will go to quell any resistance by anti-supe protesters. The dark Prime Video superhero series imagines a world where the profession of powered heroes is dominated by corrupt corporations and dangerous and power-hungry narcissistic individuals. The fifth and final season of The Boys will see Homelander finally gain control of the world, as the titular group is divided and imprisoned.

As filming for The Boys season 5 continues, new posts by True_Cabinet_9733 on The Boys subreddit show previously teased plans come to life. The photos depict internment camps being erected in a woodland. Dubbed "Freedom Camp 47," the installation is lathered in a red, white, and blue color scheme.

The Boys...

The Boys are back together to film the last season of the hit superhero satire series. Filming recently began on the set of the fifth and final season of the Amazon show, based on the comics of the same name by Garth Ennis, and fans have been getting sneak peeks along the way. While plot details for Season 5 still remain under wraps, showrunner Eric Kripke and star Karl Urban have shared exciting pictures and updates on production that give some hints as to what's in store.

Kripke posted a heartwarming message about how the show and its actors saved him, as well as an explicit update for the first episode of the upcoming season. The posted title page of the script revealed that the first episode is "Fifteen Inches of Sheer Dynamite," which fans of the comics and series believe points to the wild character Love Sausage, which could only...

Urban made his debut as Billy the Butcher in the pilot episode of Prime Video's live-action adaptation of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's hit 2006 comic book series, The Boys.

Homelander actor Anthony Starr recently discussed one of the most entertaining scenes from Prime Video's hit series The Boys, revealing why it was one of his favorites. In Season 2's third episode, "Over the Hill with the Sword of a Thousand Men," Chace Crawford's The Deep chases Billy Butcher and his titular team's Yatch down riding a whale. Butcher eventually impales the creature with the boat when the Vought hero attempts to block their escape, leaving The Deep devasted.

Starr and The Boys' creator, Eric Kripke, discussed the series and its upcoming season in a Collider interview, where the actor insisted that the characters on the show are awful and almost always do bad things for a reason, enabling them to connect with fans. To emphasize his point, Starr recalled the scene from Season 2, which seemed ridiculous to him at the time but worked because it was character-driven. "One...

On his official X account, Eric Kripke shared a behind-the-scenes image from the set of The Boys season 5.

The Boys 7/10

The Boys is a gritty and subversive take on the superhero genre,...

Over the past four seasons of The Boys, the show has peeled back the layers of Antony Starr's Homelander. In a recent interview, the actor revealed that Season 5 will depict the character in his weakest state yet, as we will see the powerful supe physically vulnerable for the first time. As The Boys' satirical version of Superman, Homelander has most of the Blue Boy Scout's same powers, with some incredibly patriotic adornments to his costume (his Stars and Stripes cape belongs in a Michael Bay movie). However, the character doesn't yet have his own version of kryptonite – at least, not one that audiences have seen.

Speaking to Variety, along with The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke, Antony Starr teased what fans can expect from his villainous supe in the fifth and final season. "Homelander starts the season off discovering his own mortality," the actor revealed. In the past, the closest...

The Boys showrunner, Eric Kripke, disputes claims that the hit Prime Video series has gone woke, saying it's the world that has changed to match the series. Despite its comical setting with evil superheroes, The Boys has always been a scathing satire of the American commercial system. Later seasons saw the show get political, as Homelander (Antony Starr) made a play for the White House in Season 4. Fans criticized the series for being too on the nose with its satire in Season 4, but Eric Kripke never could have predicted just how accurate the show's reflection of reality would be.

Speaking to Variety, Eric Kripke discussed how The Boys became one of the most relevant superhero shows around. Unlike the McU's Falcon and the Winter Soldier, whose social lesson boils down to "do politics better," The Boys takes a multi-faceted approach, dissecting several elements of the American political and capitalistic system.

The Boys Season 5 is set to begin production soon, and the crew has already shared a behind-the-scenes look at the final chapter of the mature-rated superhero saga. After the cliffhanger ending that saw Homelander and Billy Butcher on one final collision course toward calamity, the upcoming season will finally conclude the raunchy superhero storyline that began in 2019. No stranger to grotesque and adult-only sequences, The Boys is once again teasing another insane season premiere that lives up to expectations.

The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke shared the first page of the script for the premiere of Season 5 with the caption "One. Last. Ride." The title of the episode, written by Paul Grellong, is "Fifteen Inches of Sheer Dynamite," which could reference a variety of things that could happen in the fifth season. Without speculating where these many inches of dynamite could possibly be placed in, it would not be shocking if...

The Boys season 5 gets a new update, with creator Eric Kripke unveiling an intriguing title for episode 1. First released on Prime Video in 2019, the hit superhero satire has become one of the streamer's most popular offerings. After the release of season 4 earlier this year, which continues Billy Butcher's (Karl Urban) bloody quest for vengeance against Homelander (Antony Starr), The Boys season 5 is confirmed to bring the show to an end, with production getting underway in Toronto this month.

Kripke now takes to X, formerly Twitter, to share an image of the script title page for The Boys season 5, episode 1, revealing the title to be "Fifteen Inches Of Sheer Dynamite." The title page also confirms that episode 1 was penned by Paul Grellong and directed by Phil Sgriccia, both of whom are also executive producers on the show. Kripke's post includes a "#DayOne" hashtag, seemingly confirming that filming is now underway. Check out Kripke's post below:

Queue up that famous Thin Lizzy song because filming has begun on the fifth and final season of The Boys. Based on the graphic novels of the same name by Garth Ennis, Prime Video's The Boys has been a runaway hit and a breath of fresh air in the increasingly stagnant superhero genre. Starring Antony Starr, Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Erin Moriarty, Karen Fukahara, Chace Crawford, Laz Alonso, Colby Minfie, and many, many more, The Boys is set in a world where superheroes are real, and they're all arrogant, narcissistic celebrities. Season 4's finale saw Homelander (Starr) eyeing a place in The White House, while Billy Butcher (Urban) unleashes his most violent desires.

Laz Alonso revealed that production on Season 5 has officially begun through an exciting post on Instagram. The photo showed the entire cast of The Boys Season 5 getting together for dinner. In the photo, Quaid, Urban,...

With The Boys preparing for its final season and several spinoffs to grow the franchise, its show creator hopes the hit satirical superhero series doesn't become what it hates. Series creator Eric Kripke reveals his biggest fear for the series as its fifth and final season draws closer.

Speaking with Collider, Kripke claimed he "lives in absolute terror" that The Boys could "sell out" once its various spinoff shows debut, ensuring the series becomes what it's been parodying throughout its acclaimed run. "The thing about The Boys is that its punk rock, and it hurts extra hard when punk rockers sell out. I'm really working hard not to sell out," he said. "There's no doubt that were a franchise now, but were trying to do it with as much integrity as Hollywood could muster, which isnt much, but its a little."

The Boys fan base is nervous about the upcoming spin-off series, Vought Rising, but few are more scared than the show's co-lead, Aya Cash, who's concerned the show won't live up to her expectations after she read some incredible scripts. Unlike other superhero franchises which try to cash in with endless, unnecessary spin-offs, Prime Video's The Boys has found tremendous success with its first spin-off show, Gen V. The newest project is hoping for the proverbial lightning to strike twice, as Vought Rising takes audiences back to the creation of the malevolent superhero company.

Speaking to GamesRadar+, Cash shared her concerns about the new show. Cash will reprise her role as Clara Vought, a.k.a. Stormfront (the literal Nazi), alongside Jensen Ackles' fan favorite character, Soldier Boy. The actress revealed that she isn't nervous about the quality of the storytelling. But, she was reportedly so impressed with the first scripts,...

Jack Quaid, the young actor famous for giving life to Hughie in Amazon's superhero series The Boys, has decided to share what he expects from his character for season 5, which will premiere sometime in 2026. Specifically, he has one important request: he'd like less screen time for his butt.

In The Boys, Quaid plays Hughie Campbell, a member of the gang fighting the "supes" who work for the mammoth-like corporation known as Vought International. While he doesn't have a specific power, in recent seasons, we've seen Hughie experiment with Compound V, allowing him to go toe to toe with other supes for a limited amount of time.

The Boys Season 5 may be the last time audiences will see the anti-Supes task force, but that doesn't mean the mature-rated universe will be ending anytime soon. After the fifth and final season, Vought Rising tells the story behind the infamous company's foundation, starring Aya Cash and Jensen Ackles, reprising their roles as Stormfront and Soldier Boy, respectively. They won't be alone, however, as a new Supe has been cast in the fifth and final season of The Boys, as well as its Vought-centric spinoff.

Entertainment Weekly exclusively reports that Mason Dye, who previously appeared in Stranger Things, has been added to The Boys universe as Bombsight. The character is the third-oldest active Supe, just behind Stormfront and Soldier Boy, who started their careers in the 1950s. Although Dye is reportedly only a guest star in The Boys Season 5, he will have a recurring role in the prequel Vought Rising.

The Boys season 5 adds a new actor to its cast, as a Stranger Things star joins as a new Supe. Created by Eric Kripke, Prime Video's hit superhero parody show returned for season 4 earlier this year, continuing Billy Butcher's (Karl Urban) quest for vengeance against Homelander (Antony Starr) and Vought. The Boys season 5 is now confirmed to bring the show to an end, with a roster of both new and old Supes assembling for the final episodes.

Variety now reports that actor Mason Dye has been cast in The Boys season 5 as Bombsight. Though details regarding the character haven't yet been released, Bombsight was mentioned in season 4 as a Supe who appeared in "The Curse of Fu Manchu," a 1950s Vought superhero movie. As for where audiences will have seen Dye previously, the actor recently appeared in Stranger Things season 4 as Jason Carver, a Hawkins High basketball star and supporting antagonist.

It's hard to be the most despicable character in The Boys, but playing a literal Nazi might just do it. Stormfront (Aya Cash) is returning for the show's first prequel series, titled Vought Rising, along with fan favorite Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles). Production is yet to begin on the highly-anticipated show, but Cash already has fans excited, teasing that Vought Rising could be peak The Boys.

Speaking to Screen Rant at the red carpet for her new HBO comedy series, The Franchise, Aya Cash was asked about her surprise return as Stormfront in Vought Rising. The actress started out by making an important public safety announcement, emphasizing that her character in the show and herself are two Very different people. "I want to be clear. She bad. She real bad. She bad bad bad. I don't agree with her. And I can't fly. We are different people," Cash said.
