Season 4 of The Boys is hitting Prime Video this week, and its creator Eric Kripke celebrated its return by announcing that Season 5 will be the show’s last chapter. He revealed this was always the plan, and described the final season as “a gory, epic, emotional climax.”
Kripke knew he wanted to wrap up the story after five seasons for quite some time, and it all came down to convincing Amazon this was the right time to hit the brakes.
“I give them all the credit in the world and I’m so grateful for them to let me end this story on my terms. That’s obviously really rare. When they saw that I was pretty dead set on Season 5, they went along with it. And I really am grateful,” Kripke told Variety.
Season 4 of The Boys will return to Prime Video on June 13 with a three-episode premiere, while the remaining five episodes will stream weekly until July 18.

Amazon Prime Video’s official synopsis describes The Boys as “an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes, who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as Gods, abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good.”
The series borrows its title from the team of vigilance known as The Boys, who embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about these corrupt superheroes and the formidable Vought corporation that put them on the map. Their fight will continue in Season 4, and they’ll have to work together to save the day before it’s too late.
The ensemble cast of The Boys is led by Antony Starr as Homelander and Karl Urban as Billy Butcher, and it will feature a few new faces once the show comes back. Valorie Curry, Susan Heyward, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Rosemarie DeWitt, Rob Benedict, and Elliot Knight are joining the series in Season 4, which still doesn’t have an official release date.
The Boys: Mexico is being developed by the Blue Beetle writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, who’ll serve as its creator and executive producer. Amazon is currently looking for a co-showrunner to join him, and not much is known about the project’s plot, apart from the fact it will be set in Mexico.
The Y Tu Mamá También co-stars Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal are also coming on board as executive producers. The longtime friends have been collaborating for over two decades, and they’ll produce The Boys: Mexico via their La Corriente del Golfo banner, which they founded in 2018.
The Boys tells the tale of a team of vigilantes who join forces with one goal in mind – to bring down the Vought corporation and its corrupt superheroes, who are using their powers in vain. Based on the comic books by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys universe is constantly expanding and its recent spin-off Gen V became an instant hit this year, promptly receiving a renewal for Season 2.
