Eric Kripke Offers THE BOYS Season 5 Update and Promises the Final Season Is “Coming (Reasonably) Soon”
Fans of The Boys are eagerly waiting for the next chaotic chapter of Amazon’s hit superhero satire, and series creator Eric Kripke has given an encouraging update on where things stand with the fifth and final season.
The last time fans got new episodes was back in July 2024, and it’s been a long, blood-soaked wait since then. In a new Instagram post, Kripke shared that the Final Season is deep in post-production and inching closer to the finish line.
“We’re hard at work finishing @theboystv Final Season,” Kripke wrote. “Here’s me and some of the VFX team today. Editing is all done, we’re roughly halfway finished with VFX, Music, Color.”
He added: “I’m really happy with how it’s going and can’t wait for you to see. We go out with a bang. COMING (reasonably) SOON.”
Back in July, Kripke also took a sentimental moment to say goodbye to one of the show’s sets with the Seven’s conference room at Vought Tower.
“This is the last time I’ll ever be on this set. It’ll be torn down soon. It’s bittersweet, but my primary feeling is gratitude,” he said.
“We have the best cast, the best crew, the most fun story to write, and something that is impossible to predict: the right timing. You wait your whole career to have maybe two of those things, if you’re lucky. We got all of them.”
Antony Starr, who has delivered one of TV’s most chilling performances as Homelander, also shared his emotions as he wrapped filming for the series.
“This complicated character allowed the space and range to discover and push boundaries in a way I never expected and I will always be grateful for this experience,” Starr wrote.
The actor also addressed Kripke directly in his farewell message: “We created a monster, sir. And I will miss him, and you. Til we roll out the last season. When I’ll see you. But this creative chapter is closed, and I’ll miss it, brother.”
After four explosive seasons of shocking twists, political satire, and grotesque superhero antics, The Boys is gearing up for one last ride.
