Jasper Savage/Prime Video After seven years and five seasons, “The Boys” is coming to an end.
Season 5 of Prime Video’s ultra-violent superhero satire premieres with two episodes on Wednesday, April 8.
The new season picks up with the main characters all living in “Homelander’s (Antony Starr) world, completely subject to his erratic, egomaniacal whims.”
Prime Video’s official synopsis continues: “Hughie (Jack Quaid), Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso), and Frenchie (Tomer Capone) are imprisoned in a “Freedom Camp.” Annie (Erin Moriarity) struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) is nowhere to be found. But when Butcher (Karl Urban) reappears, ready and willing to use a virus that will wipe all Supes off the map, he sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change the world and everyone in it.”
Though these final eight episodes mark the end for “The Boys,” the universe of the show will live on with a Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash-led prequel; “Vought Rising” is expected to premiere on Prime Video in 2027.
The first two episodes of “The Boys” Season 5 will be released on Wednesday, April 8.
New episodes of “The Boys” Season 5 come out at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT every Wednesday on Prime Video.
“The Boys” is streaming exclusively on Amazon, so you’ll need a Prime Video membership to tune in.
If you aren’t a Prime Video subscriber yet, you can get started with a 30-day Amazon Prime free trial, including Prime perks, such as the Prime Video streaming service, free two-day shipping, exclusive deals, and more. After the free trial, Amazon Prime costs $14.99/month or $139/year.

The final season of “The Boys” will have eight episodes released weekly (aside from the two-episode premiere). Here’s when you can expect new episodes to drop at 3 a.m. ET.
Characters from the college-set spin-off “Gen V” will also appear in Season 5, alongside guest actors Jared Padalecki, Misha Collins (both of whom previously starred in “Supernatural” with Soldier Boy actor Jensen Ackles) and “The Boys” executive producer Seth Rogen.
