The Boys’ fifth and final season is headed to Amazon Prime Video on April 8th, 2026. In addition to a release date, Prime Video revealed the trailer for season five during CCXP in Brazil, offering a look at the reunion between Supernatural costars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, as reported earlier by Variety.
The Boys added Ackles as cryogenically frozen super-soldier Soldier Boy during season three, before snapping up Padalecki for an unknown role in February of this year.
The trailer doesn’t offer any hints at Padalecki’s character, either, and instead offers a glimpse into a Homelander-controlled nation that’s “completely subject to his erratic, egomaniacal whims,” according to the show’s official description:
Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned in a ‘Freedom Camp.’ Annie struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko is nowhere to be found. But when Butcher reappears, ready and willing to use a virus that will wipe all Supes off the map, he sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change the world and everyone in it. It’s the climax, people. Big stuff’s gonna happen.
Though the final season will debut in April, the last episode is set to arrive on Prime Video on May 20th, 2026. Even after the series finale, you’ll still be able to step into The Boys universe with upcoming spinoffs Vought Rising and The Boys: Mexico. The second season of Gen V also made its debut in September.
