The Boys Sets April 8 Premiere for Final Season as Kripke Says It’s Complete

The creator says this finale delivers the end he planned from the start.

Overview

  • Prime Video will launch the eight-episode farewell on April 8 with two episodes, then release one each Wednesday through the May 20 finale.
  • New TV spots this week show Homelander waking Soldier Boy to track Billy Butcher, signaling an alliance that raises the threat level.
  • The official setup places Homelander in control of the U.S., with Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie in a “Freedom Camp” as Starlight rallies a resistance.
  • Billy Butcher is framed as more dangerous than ever with a supe-killing virus, in a season creators and cast call the darkest and most emotional yet.
  • Showrunner Eric Kripke confirmed post-production is 100% finished and called The Boys the best professional experience of his life.
