The Boys S5 ends with finale on May 20: Episode-by-episode release date, where to watch and what to expect

Amazon Prime Video has officially set the stage for the ultimate clash between Billy Butcher and Homelander, announcing that the final season of The Boys will premiere globally on April 8, 2026. Following the release of a high-octane final trailer on March 5, the streaming giant confirmed a serialized rollout strategy that will see the series conclude its eight-year run in late May. With Homelander now exerting fascist control over the American landscape and the titular vigilante group operating from the shadows of "Freedom Camps," the final eight episodes are positioned as the most violent and politically charged installment of the franchise to date.
