Superhero series The Boys aired its season 5 finale today on Prime Video and fans are already asking if there’s more to come.
The Boys first debuted back in July, 2019, where fans were introduced to the likes of Hughie Campbell (Jack Quaid), Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), Annie January (Erin Moriarty) and maniacal villain Homelander (Antony Starr).
Today on May 20, 2026, the final episode of episode 5 aired, bidding farewell to many characters while indicating what the future might hold for them.
But is this the end of The Boys? And is Eric Kripke finished with Vought and the world of supes? *Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Boys finale.*
Will there be a season 6 of The Boys?
According to Prime Video, season 5 was the final season of The Boys, with most of these characters appearing on our screens for what will probably be the last time.
This won’t come as a big shock to fans who have watched the season 5 finale, which gives most of the show’s biggest characters a clear ending.
As many predicted, Butcher finally defeats Homelander in an epic battle in the Oval Office of the White House, which leaves him stripped of his powers and begging for his life.

Meanwhile, Butcher also meets his end at the hands of Hughie, who shoots him to prevent him from unleashing their supe-killing virus upon the world.
Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) travels to France to see the sights and eat the food she and Frenchie (Tomer Capone) talked about, while MM (Laz Alonso) reunites with his family and finally gives Ryan (Cameron Crovetti) a stable home.
It is also revealed Hughie now runs his own electronics store with a now-pregnant Annie, who still works as a real-life superhero, saving people.
Finally, the last episode of season 5 confirms the survival of Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair), Jordan Li (London Thor) and Emma Meyer (Lizze Broadway), after Gen V was cancelled last month.
One character whose fate remains uncertain is Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), but fans won’t have long before they see him again.
What’s next for The Boys?
While The Boys might be over, there is still more to come from the show’s wider universe, with a spin-off already on the way.
New prequel series Vought Rising, which takes place decades before The Boys, is set to premiere in 2027.
The 1950s show about the origins of Vought will see the return of Soldier Boy as well as Clara Vought (Aya Cash), who was a love interest for Homelander in season 2 of The Boys.
We will also meet a new roster of Vought superheroes, who were the first successful test subjects of V1.
Another spin-off called The Boys: Mexico, in development under Gareth Dunnet-Alocer and executive produced by Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna, is reportedly also in the works.
In 2025, Eric Kripke told Collider: “The pilot of [The] Boys: Mexico is being developed right now. It’s very cool.
“I mean, who knows? Obviously you never know, but I can say that the world itself meets the standard of all of our spin-offs. It’s our world but a totally different tone, and it’s super fun.
“Gael and Diego are executive producers, which is amazing and [they] really engaged with it. Short answer is we’ll see, but I think the script is good.”
The Boys season 5 is now available to stream in full on Prime Video.
