THE BOYS Season 5 Has Been in Development for a Month and "There's Crazy Sh–t" Being Discussed
The Boys Season 4 is still a few weeks away from premiering, but Season 5 is already in the works. It’s been in development for a month now, and as you might imagine, they are talking about all kinds of insane stuff to do with it.
During an interview with ScreenRant, showrunner Eric Kripke offered the following update: "We're about a month into the writers' room right now, so we have some pretty cool notions.”
He continued: “It's a very raw lava-esque deal right now. It hasn't hardened into anything, but I'm excited. I think there's some crazy shit's been talked about, that's for sure."
This series has taken some big crazy swings and the outcomes for these stories have been completely bonkers. Every season tries to outdo the last, so I have no doubt that Season 5 will feature a bunch of crazy stuff that we’ve never seen or experienced before.
This has been such an enjoyable show to watch and the creative team behind it including Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, have done such a awesome job telling the story of these superpowered characters.
Amazon MGM Studios head of television Vernon Sanders said in a previous statement: “The Boys is an unabashed and bold series that continues captivating our customers all over the world by piercing the cultural fabric season after season.
“We are proud of this series that has grown into a global franchise, and we are thrilled that Eric Kripke and the creative team have more engaging stories to tell for all the loyal fans.”
Kripke added, “The Boys could be the best job I’ll ever have. What other show allows me to write about politics, capitalism, family, and exploding genitalia, though not in that order.
“The cast and crew are deeply grateful to Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios for the opportunity to tell this story for another season. My only problem is that since this year promises to be free of any conflict or misinformation, we’re not sure what to write about.”
In “The Boys” Season 4, which is coming this summer, “The world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power.
“Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son as well as his job as The Boys’ leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it’s too late.”
Jack Quaid, who plays Hughie Campbell, recently talked about Season 4, saying: "There are certain things in this season when I read them that I audibly gasped.
“I really didn’t see a lot of the beats coming, and that’s very hard to do for a person who’s been on the show for four seasons. The writers just really outdid themselves. The ending is awesome. The ending is f–king nuts. It’s insane."
The first three episodes of The Boys Season 4 are set to arrive on Prime Video on June 13.
