Sorry, The Boys fans, but Billy Butcher himself says season 5 won’t be out for at least two years

The second season of its spin-off Gen V is expected next year, at least.

The Boys season 4 only just wrapped up, but if you’re looking forward to more, it’s sounding like you’ve got a while to wait yet.

It was only last week that the long awaited season 4 of The Boys wrapped up with its eighth and final episode, an episode that had to have a last-minute name change due to, uh, recent events. I won’t spoil anything for those that haven’t managed to catch up yet, but let’s just see the titular Boys have been left in a bit of a tricky position, to put it lightly, one that will likely leave many wanting more pretty much immediately.

Unfortunately, season 5 definitely won’t be here immediately, at least if The Boys’ very own Billy Butcher, i.e. Karl Urban, is to be believed. Urban shared a post on Instagram last week to commemorate the season finale with a few behind the scenes pictures of himself and co-star Jeffery Dean Morgan, and it was the caption that indicated when we can expect to see season 5 (as spotted by GamesRadar ).

“Working with the illustrious [Jeffrey Dean Morgan] was the best part of my day every day,” Urban wrote. “That’s all for now, folks. See you in…2 years (wish it was sooner) for the final season on [Prime Video].” That’s obviously quite a while away, but not particularly surprising considering the fact that The Boys season 3 aired way back in 2022, so a two year gap has become pretty par for the course for fans of the show.

Filming for The Boys season 5, which will also be the last season , is expected to start later this year , and will run through 2025, so let’s hope no production issues will delay it past 2026.
