It’s official: The Boys is coming to an end after its fifth season.
Just days before the premiere of The Boys season 4 on Prime Video, creator Eric Kripke took to Twitter to announce plans for the show’s endgame.
"#TheBoys Season 4 Premiere Week is a good time to announce: Season 5 will be the Final Season!" Kripke wrote, alongside a redacted image of the fourth season’s finale script. "Always my plan, I just had to be cagey till I got the final OK from Vought. Thrilled to bring the story to a gory, epic, moist climax. Watch Season 4 in 2 DAYS, cause the end has begun!"
In recent weeks, Kripke has been non-committal over putting a season count on The Boys – despite previously outlining plans for five seasons of the Amazon series.
"I am – without hyperbole – literally the worst person in history at predicting how long their show should go," Kripke told SFX magazine. "No one in the entire history of the entertainment business has been more wrong than me, giving interview after interview on how I thought Supernatural should end after five years [the series went on for 15 seasons]."
Now, that seems, it was all a little bit of a Vought-style PR spin. The Boys will end after its fifth season, but no release window has yet been revealed.
That’s not to say The Boys universe is coming to a close. Far from it. Gen V season 2 will continue the college-set spin-off, though Eric Kripke has revealed how it will deal with actor Chance Perdomo’s death.

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
