Overview

• Prime Video will launch the first three of eight episodes on Sept. 17, then roll out new episodes each Wednesday through the Oct. 22 finale.
• Showrunner Michele Fazekas confirms the season directly picks up after The Boys Season 4, with storylines reflecting Homelander’s expanded power.
• Hamish Linklater joins as Godolkin’s new dean, Cipher, and Ethan Slater portrays founder Dr. Thomas Godolkin, with cameos by The Boys’ Starlight and The Deep.
• Producers will honor the late Chance Perdomo without recasting Andre, reworking the season to keep his presence felt and elevating Polarity’s role.
• Trailers and press materials highlight a harsher Godolkin, detention-to-campus returns, and a secret program tied to the school’s origins, with Eric Kripke calling the season a first look at “Homelander’s America” and a bridge to what comes next in The Boys.
