The Boys will soon be back with its much anticipated fifth season, which will also be its finale. For the unversed, the show is set in a world where superheroes are a part of a cooperation. Some vigilantes go against these individual with superpowers to seek revenge. In a recent interview with Deadline, the cast of The Boys Season 5 talked about what audience can expected from the much awaited final season.
Jack Quaid, who plays Hughie Campbell, told Deadline, “Every time it’s the same reaction. ‘No! Who do I have to murder!? And that’s a good sign. You don’t want the opposite where they’re like, ‘Oh thank God.”
Meanwhile, creator Eric Kripke added, “there will probably be lots of deaths” and there’s no guarantee of who’s gonna survive” in the final season of The Boys.
Antony Starr, who played Homelander, said, “One piece of the accordion is going out and then this is the compression going back in. There was a lot of setup in Season 4 for Season 5. Everything is gunning towards that climactic end. So it’s exciting at the moment because we’re filming all that.”
Colby Minifie, who plays Ashley, talked about her reaction to learning that The Boys will come to an end. She said, “When the announcement came out, Kripke said we get to end it on our terms, which I think is a really beautiful thing. The best stories have a beginning, middle, and end. Knowing the end is in five, we were able to tell the middle really well.”
According to Prime Video, the official lot of The Boys reads, “The Boys is an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes, who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as Gods, abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It’s the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about “The Seven”, and their formidable Vought backing.”
