For the fifth and final time, The Boys are coming back. Season 5 of Amazon's hit series, which was created by Eric Kripke and inspired by the comic book run by Garth Ennis and Darick Robinson, returns for its victory lap. That's not to say that this is really the end -- The Boys' cinematic universe has grown with spinoffs Gen V, the short-lived Diabolical animated series and the other in-development spin-off currently in the works.
But by all accounts, this is the last run of Homelander and Billy Butcher's respective crews. Their five-season-long story arc, and the enduring battle between Butcher's resistance fighters and Vought's 7, will reach its final crescendo. Needless to say, the internet is about to be lit up with Supe reviews, rumors and gossip.
All the familiar faces are back, including Antony Starr, Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Chace Crawford, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso and Tomer Capone. Jensen Ackles makes his return as Soldier Boy; his Supernatural co-stars Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins are also on board for the new season.
