Amazon’s hit superhero TV series, titled “The Boys“, is rapidly approaching its end as it moves forward with the production of its fifth and last season. Details about the final episodes are being kept secret, although some hint that the finale will be spectacular. However, most viewers are left in the dark about what might transpire during the climactic battle between The Boys and the Supes. Unsurprisingly, the showrunner Eric Kripke is aware of the answers, but even his control over the storyline can’t quell his fear about wrapping up the series: “I am filled with a great deal of apprehension.
On the “Creator to Creator” podcast, co-produced by Sony, Kripke conversed with Shawn Ryan (from “The Night Agent”). In this particular episode, he delved into discussions regarding the final season of “The Boys”, tentatively set to air on a streaming platform in 2026. Although he was coy about specific plot points, his remarks hint that things will become chaotic or complicated.
Previously, Kripke hinted that some characters would meet their demise in Season 5, foreshadowing intense conflicts ahead. However, regarding the storyline, the showrunner has expressed apprehension about wrapping up the series. He also shared that he’s drawn inspiration from some of the best TV finales ever to create an ending that will please fans.
I’m quite anxious about the upcoming series finale. Only a handful of finales can be considered truly outstanding. I believe The Shield is one of them, kudos to the creators for that. On the flip side, many finales are simply awful, and it seems as if a cemetery could house them all. Even if a show has been exceptional for years, a poor ending can tarnish its reputation, making people think, ‘Perhaps that show wasn’t as great as I thought.’
“You Get To Waste People in a Way You Couldn’t Do Before”
Kripke, the mastermind behind Prime Video’s superhero juggernaut, has been at the helm for five years, and while the show has achieved great success, the showrunner has expressed relief in no longer having to worry about how a character’s outcome might impact future seasons. In Season 5 of The Boys, anything goes, and characters may meet their end.
As a movie enthusiast, it’s been quite thrilling actually. In this new phase, I get to explore the concept of conflict in ways that were previously unimaginable. It’s not merely about preserving characters from one season to another, but also about crafting intense confrontations that leave you wondering, “How on earth will they survive this as a relationship?” It’s exhilarating to know that I’m pushing the boundaries and creating situations that I wouldn’t have dared to in the past. I don’t feel the need to hold back, knowing that these challenges will keep the storyline engaging for future seasons.
