The Boys Wraps Production On 'Grand Finale' — When Will Season 5 Be Released?

That's a series wrap on The Boys!

Production on the fifth and final season of Prime Video's satirical superhero saga concluded July 2, and series creator Eric Kripke took to Instagram to reflect on his last days on set.

"This is the last time I'll ever be on this set. It'll be torn down soon. It's bittersweet, but my primary feeling is gratitude," the EP shared. "We have the best cast, the best crew, the most fun story to write, and something that is impossible to predict: the right timing. You wait your whole career to have maybe two of those things, if you're lucky. We got all of them. To #TheBoys family: thank you, I love you all. To the fans: thanks for watching, can't wait for you to see the grand finale. That's a wrap."

Kripke's post was flooded by messages from the cast — including Jack Quaid, who commented: "Love you dude. Thank you for literally everything." Then there was Laz Alonso, who wrote, "What a ride Krip! I can finally say I experienced lightning in a bottle," while Valerie Curry said, "Thank you for this once in a lifetime experience."

Fellow cast member Erin Moriarty also marked the end of production with an Instagram post of her own, writing in part, "The tears have begun.... I said goodbye to most of my work family today and I'll be ready to smile about it when I'm ready to smile about it. To my Boys fam: love you, c*nts. forever."

On June 11, 2024, Kripke announced that The Boys would end with Season 5 — a final batch of episodes that will reunite Supernatural trio Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins.

"The truth is we knew that it was going to be a five-season story for years now," Kripke told TVLine shortly after the final-season announcement. "I mean, probably since writing the beginning of Season 3, we knew, and so we were already laying down track that was always heading in this direction. Honestly, [Amazon has] been great about letting us end it on our own terms. I'm really grateful."

The Boys Season 5 does not yet have a release date, though it is expected to premiere in 2026. In the interim, college-set spinoff Gen V will return for Season 2 on Wednesday, Sept. 17.

As previously reported, Ackles and Aya Cash (who plays Stormfront) will headline the prequel spinoff Vought Rising. A Spanish-language spinoff set in Mexico City is also in development.
