‘The Boys’ Season 5 Teaser Reveals Premiere Date & Jared Padalecki’s Reunion With Eric Kripke, Jensen Ackles — CCXP Brazil

The end is near for The Boys as the Prime Video series unveils the premiere date and teaser for its fifth and final season.

During Saturday’s panel at CCXP in São Paulo, Brazil, the streamer announced on the Thunder Stage that the concluding season of the Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios show will debut on April 8, 2026 with a two-episode premiere, culminating in a May 20, 2026 series finale.

In the fifth and final season, it’s Homelander’s (Antony Starr) world, completely subject to his erratic, egomaniacal whims. Hughie (Jack Quaid), Mother’s Milk (Laz (Alonso) and Frenchie (Tomer Capone) are imprisoned in a ‘Freedom Camp’. Annie (Erin Moriarty) struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) is nowhere to be found. But when Butcher (Karl Urban) reappears, ready and willing to use a virus that will wipe all Supes off the map, he sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change the world and everyone in it. It’s the climax, people. Big stuff’s gonna happen.

Also featured in the teaser is the return of Jensen Ackles‘ Soldier Boy, now in a cryogenic state, as well as the debut of Jared Padalecki‘s undisclosed character, marking a Supernatural reunion with the shows’ mutual creator Eric Kripke.

Showrunner Kripke was joined onstage Saturday by Moriarty, Alonso, Fukuhara, Capone and Colby Minifie.

Prime’s college spin-off Gen V recently concluded its second season, which sets up The Boys finale, and the animated The Boys Presents: Diabolical is not likely to get a second season. Meanwhile, Paul Grellong serves as showrunner on the upcoming prequel series Vought Rising, and Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal are executive producing The Boys: Mexico, from Blue Beetle writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer.
