Gen V Finale Sets Up The Boys’ Final Season as 2026 Window and Renewal Questions Loom

Season 5 will jump ahead six months into an underground resistance against Homelander, according to creator Eric Kripke.

Overview

  • Prime Video has not announced a release date for The Boys season 5, which is expected to arrive sometime in 2026.
  • Filming on the final season began in November 2024 and wrapped on July 1, 2025, with Jensen Ackles confirming he finished his scenes in June.
  • Eric Kripke says the new season begins roughly six months after Gen V season 2 and drops viewers straight into a clandestine fight against Homelander’s America.
  • The Gen V season 2 conclusion was designed to feed its young heroes into Starlight’s growing resistance, with A‑Train described as an important part of the effort.
  • Gen V has not been renewed for season 3 and its future depends on viewership, as Michele Fazekas exits the series and Kripke says the animated Diabolical is unlikely to continue.
