In a conversation with Variety, Karl Urban confirmed that viewers can expect serious character deaths in the final season of "The Boys." The actor stated that "no one is safe", and events will rapidly escalate towards a massive climax. According to him, his "jaw dropped to the floor" while reading the scripts, and he repeatedly asked himself: "Are they really doing this?" Urban noted that the season sharply raises the stakes from the first minutes and leads the story to a climax without hesitation.
The fifth season will be the final one, giving the creators freedom in concluding storylines. After the events of the fourth chapter, the stakes were already extremely high, and the confrontation between Butcher, Homelander, and the other characters reached a point of no return.
The premiere of the fifth season will take place on April 8, 2026. Two episodes will be released on the release day, then new episodes will be released weekly until May 20.
