Prime Video has released the official trailer for the fifth and final season of The Boys, confirming that the story will wrap up in spring 2026. Season 5 premieres with two episodes on April 8, 2026, then drops one episode a week until the series finale on May 20. The footage leans hard into the idea that this is the end of the road for everyone involved, not just another round of shock value.
The world now fully belongs to Homelander. He is not just a rogue Supe anymore but the centerpiece of a system built to flatter and protect him. Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie are locked in a so called “Freedom Camp,” which looks like a prison dressed up as patriotism. Annie is trying to lead a resistance against a Supe powered state, while Kimiko has vanished, turning her absence into one of the season’s biggest emotional questions.
Billy Butcher is the wild card. The trailer shows him back in play with access to a virus that can wipe out Supes entirely. After Gen V revealed how close Vought and the government were to building a kill switch, this final season is ready to face that idea head on. If Butcher uses it, he might save the world from Homelander, but he would also be choosing mass extermination as his last move, which pushes him closer than ever to the kind of monster he hates.
The creative backbone of the show remains in place. The series is still rooted in the comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, who continue as executive producers alongside showrunner Eric Kripke and a large returning producing team. That stability suggests the final season will focus on finishing character arcs and themes the writers have been building since season one, rather than chasing bigger and louder stunts just to top past seasons.
With Homelander in charge, The Boys scattered or imprisoned, and a world that has chosen its favorite tyrant, the trailer sets up a finale that looks political, ugly, and weirdly cathartic. When season five hits Prime Video in April 2026, it will not just close out one of the most talked about superhero shows of the last decade. It will also answer the question the series has been circling from the start: what does it really cost to stop someone like Homelander.
