THE BOYS Season 5 Officially Announced by Prime Video with Promo Video
Prime Video has officially announced that they’ve renewed the hit series The Boys for Season 5. The announcement was made on social media with a promo video that you can watch below. It was already reported that the series would come back for a fifth season, but now it’s official.
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 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.”
Katherine Pope, president of Sony Pictures Television Studios shared: “Since its premiere, devoted fans across the globe have been down with The Boys for this unapologetically wild ride.
“And we couldn’t be more proud of our producers, writers, cast, and crew who bring this genius insanity to life. Now, with a fifth chapter to their story, we can’t wait to see where Eric Kripke and The Boys go next.”
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.”
Kripke previously said that he thought the show could eventually run for five seasons with how much source material they have to work with. He later said that he was going to stop predicting how many seasons The Boys projects.
He said: "I have since realized that literally no one in history is worse at predicting the amount of seasons of a show, like literally. I have learned my lesson and I've stopped predicting how many seasons these shows go. You will find out in hindsight."
The Boys will premiere its fourth season on June 13 with the first three episodes, followed by a new episode each week, ending with the epic season finale on Thursday, July 18.
