• Set after The Boys Season 4, the new chapter centers on a hardline Godolkin University under Dean Cipher and a secret program tied to the school’s founding that entangles Marie.
• The season is dedicated to Chance Perdomo, with Andre absent from the story as the show folds grief and remembrance into the characters’ arcs.

• Initial reception is generally positive, with early Rotten Tomatoes tallies reported in the 89%–100% range and critics praising Jaz Sinclair and Hamish Linklater while noting heavier franchise crossover and uneven plotting.
