Amazon Prime Video has officially confirmed that The Boys final season will be released on April 8, 2026, exclusively on the platform. The American superhero series first premiered in July 2019, nearly 11 years after the plans for the comic book’s adaptation started. It was first slated to be a trilogy of films, but that plan was scrapped.
The project eventually got revived in 2016 as a television show, with Eric Kripke announced as the showrunner. The series has won four Primetime Emmy Awards from twelve nominations, seven Critics’ Choice Super Awards, and several other accolades.
The trailer for the fifth and final season of The Boys was released on December 6, 2025.

What is the plot of The Boys final season?
Not much has been revealed about The Boys final season, but according to the synopsis, the world within the series has devolved into chaos. Homelander’s authoritative rule has transformed the world while Annie (Starlight) attempts to mount a resistance. However, she struggles to do so before Butcher reappears with a drastic plan that could potentially wipe out every Supe on the planet.
The synopsis reads:
"In the fifth and final season, it’s Homelander’s world, completely subject to his erratic, egomaniacal whims. Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned in a “Freedom Camp.” Annie struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko is nowhere to be found."
It continues:
"But when Butcher 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. It’s the climax, people. Big stuff’s gonna happen."
