Ahead of the Season 4 premiere, fans are anxious to know if The Boys is ending. Following a statement by the show’s creator, the audience has been in a frenzy over the show’s future. Moreover, they wonder if The Boys Season 4 is the final installment of the satirical superhero series if there is a Season 5 ahead.
Here is everything you need to know about whether The Boys is ending after Season 4 or not.
Is The Boys Season 4 the last one?
No, The Boys Season 4 is not the last season of the show. There is yet another fifth season to come.
For now, The Boys is not ending after Season 4, because the show will have one more season. Eric Kripke, the show’s creator, announced the news via a post on X. Furthermore, he confirmed that The Boys Season 5 will serve as the show’s finale, thus concluding the superhero saga.
Why is The Boys ending with Season 5?
According to Eric Kripke,The Boys will end with Season 5 because he does not want to drag it on anymore.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kripke shared that since the beginning, he had only planned five seasons for the show. He said, “Part of it is such a wonky, stupid screenwriter thing but three and five are the big magical numbers for writing. Three is movie acts, TV acts are five. Jokes are a runner of three for five. Five just seems like a good round number. It’s enough to tell the story but also bring it to a climax without wearing out its welcome.”
In addition, Kripke stated that it was hard for him to withhold the announcement about The Boys ending after Season 5 till now. Reasoning why he chose to share it just before the Season 4 premiere, he divulged, ” No one can watch this season without feeling at the end like ‘It’s ending next year right?’ So we might as well announce it so people can watch it with that cool epic heading-toward-the-end feeling, which is what I’m hoping for.”
Nevertheless, Eric Kripke told fans not to be disheartened, as even though The Boys will end with Season 5, its spin-off Gen V shall continue. Moreover, there are likely at least two more related projects being planned.
In conclusion, while The Boys Season 4 is not the last installment of the show, the fifth season will be the final one. So, buckle up and prepare yourself for another set of thrilling episodes featuring superhero antics and an explosive finale.
