Sharing a picture of himself in the screening room, he wrote: "Testing the @4dxusa screening of @theboystv finale with the @primevideo gang. Holy fuck. A literal ride. Those who scored tickets are in for a treat. Thanks for a moment I'll never forget."

The final episode of the superhero show will be shown in theaters across the US, hours ahead of its release on Prime Video. Audiences will be get to see an immersive 4DX version of the episode, which will have a runtime of one hour and five minutes.

No trailer or synopsis has been confirmed for the final episode yet but it will pick up in the aftermath of the dramatic events of episode 7. This saw the Boys manage to give Kimiko powers akin to Soldier Boy after blasting her with uranium to make her the ultimate weapon in the fight against Homelander. It seems she'll have revenge on her mind too after her boyfriend Frenchie was murdered at the hands of the maniacal Supe as well.

The final episode will be the last time we see a lot of these characters, especially after spin-off Gen V was also canceled. However, the universe will continue with upcoming prequel Vought Rising as well as the reported spin-off The Boys Mexico.

If you are not lucky enough to have a ticket to the in-person screening of The Boys season 5, check out our guide to The Boys season 5 release schedule to make sure you don't miss a moment. While you're here, we have a guide to the best Prime Video shows to watch right now to fill up your watchlist after the series finishes too.
