The long-anticipated trailer for the final season of The Boys dropped on Sunday, December 7, 2025, instantly electrifying fans around the world. The makers officially confirmed that the acclaimed and explosive superhero satire—created by Eric Kripke and headlined by Antony Starr and Jack Quaid—will wrap up in 2026. The new season is set to premiere on April 8, 2026, exclusively on Prime Video.
The show’s official X account unveiled the teaser with a characteristically bold message: “We’re going out with a fuckin’ bang. It’s The Boys final season teaser trailer, folks. Get ready to climax April 8.” The post captures the unapologetically wild, fearless energy that has defined the series since its debut.
The trailer’s YouTube description reveals the intense direction Season 5 will take. According to the logline, the world has descended fully under the oppressive rule of Homelander, whose erratic, power-hungry dominance shapes every aspect of society. Key members of The Boys—Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie—have been imprisoned in what is chillingly referred to as a “Freedom Camp.” Meanwhile, Annie January fights desperately to spark a resistance against the overwhelming Supe-controlled forces, even as Kimiko remains missing.
At the center of the storm is Billy Butcher, who reemerges with a dangerous resolve and a weapon unlike anything seen before: a lethal virus capable of annihilating every Supe on Earth. His return sets off a chain of high-stakes events that threaten to reshape the world and push every character to the brink. As the teaser boldly warns, “It’s the climax, people.”
Prime Video will release the season with two episodes on April 8, followed by weekly installments. The epic series finale is slated for May 20, 2026, closing the chapter on one of streaming’s most influential and culturally defining shows.
The upcoming season features the return of fan-favorite actors, including Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, and Colby Minifie. The Boys is produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios, in collaboration with Kripke Enterprises, Original Film, and Point Grey Pictures.
As excitement grows, Season 5 promises the high-voltage action, razor-sharp social commentary, and jaw-dropping twists that have turned The Boys into a worldwide phenomenon.
