Homelander Strives to Become Immortal in the Gore-tastic Trailer for The Boys Season 5
Homelander is heading to the White House! Plus, we’re getting a Supernatural reunion of sorts! If you ask me, The Boys is going out with a bang as the ultra-violent superhero series approaches its final season. In a brand-new trailer for The Boys Season 5, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins reunite for the final round of episodes of Prime Video’s unrelenting superhero drama, The Boys.
What Happens in the New Trailer?
In the trailer, Homelander (Antony Starr) strives to become immortal by seeking V1, Vought’s first iteration of Compound V, the chemical that helped create the supers. To help get the job done, Homelander wakes his father, Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), from cryogenic stasis. Together, Homelander and Soldier Boy encounter two characters played by Padalecki and Collins, though the nature of their roles remains elusive. Meanwhile, the Boys are in hot pursuit, with Billy Butcher using his tentacle-based powers to rip and shred his way to victory.
The Boys Season 5 takes place after the events of Gen V Season 2, with Homelander in a unique position to rule the world with an iron fist like an all-powerful dictator. With immorality on his mind and the Oval Office as a would-be new home, the Boys must use every last weapon in their arsenal to destroy Homelander before his ascension.
What’s The Boys Season 5 About?
Per the description for The Boys Season 5, “In the fifth and final season, it’s Homelander’s world, completely subject to his erratic, egomaniacal whims. Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned in a ‘Freedom Camp.’ Annie struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko is nowhere to be found. But when Butcher 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.”
What can you watch after The Boys ends?
If you’re upset about The Boys coming to an end, don’t be; there’s plenty of ultra-violent superhero action in the pipeline with the spinoff Gen V, the animated series The Boys Presents: Diabolical, the upcoming Jensen Ackles-led prequel Vought Rising, and a Mexico-set series still in the works.
