  • Showrunner Eric Kripke confirmed the Season 5 premiere title as “Fifteen Inches of Sheer Dynamite.”
  • Prime Video released new posters featuring Homelander and Butcher with the tagline “Scorched earth. Shock and awe. Blood and bone.”
  • Kripke has framed Season 5 as the planned conclusion to the show’s core conflicts, led by the ButcherHomelander showdown.
