Gen V Finale Positions The Boys Season 5, As Amazon Charts the Franchise’s Next Moves

Eric Kripke says the last season begins roughly six months later, with a 2026 debut expected.

Overview

  • Prime Video has not announced a release date for The Boys season 5, which wrapped filming on July 1, 2025 and is expected to arrive in 2026 as the series’ final chapter.
  • Kripke confirms Gen V’s second season was designed to flow directly into season 5, with the new episodes dropping viewers into an organized pushback against Homelander’s America.
  • Gen V season 3 has not been greenlit, and Kripke says renewal depends on viewership even though a plan for another season exists.
  • Showrunner Michele Fazekas is departing to oversee Law & Order: SVU, introducing a leadership change if the college-set spinoff continues.
  • Prequel series Vought Rising began production in early August 2025 and is expected to follow The Boys season 5 in the release pipeline.
