‘The Boys’ Renewed for Season 5, Which Will Also Be Its Final Season at Amazon [Exclusive]

It may be a while before we actually get to see The Boys Season 4, which is currently in production. However, Amazon is moving forward regarding the future of the show as Season 5, which will also be the final season, has been given an advance renewal.

Earlier this week, Erik Kripke hinted that Season 5 is already in the works confirming that Season 4 won't be the last. However, according to VoughtHQ and with sources close to the production, what he left out is that season 5 would also be the final season of The Boys. In 2021, VoughtHQ and we were the first to reveal the Season 4 renewal in advance.

However, this is not the end of the road for The Boys as its spin-off series Gen V is likely to take the lead and drive this universe. Gen V Season 1 has already completed production and Season 2 is already in active development with an official announcement yet to come. With slightly a younger cast, Gen V could do a multiple-season run expanding "The Boys" universe.

The fourth season is currently filming in Toronto and is expected to wrap up by March 28. The Boys Season 4 is likely to release in early 2024, but its spinoff series Gen V is set to release sometime in Summer 2023, which will also feature a few members of The Boys' main cast.

The Boys Season 4 will pick up a few months after the third season, with Annie January aka Starlight (Erin Moriarty) working with the Boys as she adapts to making a difference without her superhero alter-ego. Hughie (Jack Quaid) will have some family drama as his mother reappears in his life, but could this impact his relationship with Annie to progress? It seems right that Marvin Milk, aka MM or Mother’s Milk, would take the role of leader for the boys while Frenchie and Kimiko explore other relationships. The penultimate season is set to focus on the Boys instead of the superheroes.

Season Three of The Boys stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Colby Minifie, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, Claudia Doumit, and Jensen Ackles. Season 4 new additions include Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Derek Wilson as Tek Knight, and Rob Benedict.

The Boys is based on the comics of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, who also serve as executive producers, and developed by Eric Kripke. Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Phil Sgriccia, Craig Rosenberg, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Paul Grellong, Ken F. Levin, Jason Netter, David Reed, Meredith Glynn, and Michaela Starr also serve as executive producers. Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television Studios are producing The Boys, along with Kripke Enterprises, Original Film, and Point Grey Pictures.
