‘The Boys’ Ending With Season 5

There’s been a ton of speculation about when The Boys will end. And in advance of the fourth season premiere this week, we now know: The Boys is ending with Season 5.

The news was revealed on X (formerly Twitter) by showrunner Eric Kripke, in a post.

“#TheBoys Season 4 Premiere Week is a good time to announce: Season 5 will be the Final Season!” Kripe wrote. “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!”

As Kripke notes, he’s been playing it close to his chest through the press cycle for multiple seasons. While he talked about wanting to end with Season 5, he also noted that he has a notoriously bad track record when guessing how many seasons a show will run. Specifically, Supernatural, which he said would run five seasons, and then ran 15.

In a previous Q&A on Twitter, Kripke said as much, stating, “The rough idea in my head is five seasons total. But I also know better than to say how many seasons a show is going to have, ’cause my last show Supernatural, I said ‘five seasons, for sure,’ and then that f**ker went 15. So I’m mostly going to keep my mouth shut, but creatively five feels like a good, round number.”

So there you go! Five is indeed, a good round number, except for the fact that it’s an odd number. But regardless, Season 5 is coming at you and will finish the saga of The Boys, hopefully in style.
