It’s oi-fficial:The Boysseason 5 is on the way for Prime Video.

Announced duringAmazon’s Upfronts 2024 presentation, the hit R-rated series will return for another outing afterThe Boysseason 4, which is due to premiere on June 13.

The reveal was made in a brief video, which was made public on X/Twitter afterPrime Videoconfirmed the show’s renewal, and shows the titular group’s silent, superpowered individual Kimiko (played by Karen Fukuhara) carving the phrase “season 5” into a wooden table top.

Understandably, little else is known aboutThe Boys' fifth installment. In anAmazon MGM Studios press blast, the e-commerce giant’s streaming division simply stated that it had ordered a fifth season of its incredibly popular satirical superhero series, which is based on Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s graphic novel series of the same name.

We won’t know what season 5’s plot will entail, nor will we know which characters will return for its next entry, until season 4 of one of thebest Prime Video showshas finished airing. Even then, we’ll certainly have to wait longer forThe Boysseason 5 to debut on one of the world’sbest streaming services.

I’d expect season 2 of its college-based spin offGen Vto be released before the main show’s fifth outing, as storylines inThe Boysseason 4 are sure to impact what happens inGen Vseason 2.

Regardless, it’s clear that there’s more story to tell inThe Boys' live-action universe post-season 4. And, given how successful it’s been for Amazon, a fifth season – while not an inevitability until today’s (May 14) announcement – those involved are definitely up for grossing us out with more Supe-killing adventures.

“The Boysis an unabashed and bold series that continues captivating our customers all over the world by piercing the cultural fabric season after season,” Vernon Sanders, Amazon MGM Studios' Head of Television, said in a statement. “We are proud of this series that has grown into a global franchise, and we are thrilled that Eric Kripke and the creative team have more engaging stories to tell for all the loyal fans.”

“The Boyscould be the best job I’ll ever have,” showrunner Eric Kripke added. “What other show allows me to write about politics, capitalism, family, and exploding genitalia, though not in that order. The cast and crew are deeply grateful toSonyPictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios for the opportunity to tell this story for another season.  My only problem is that since this year promises to be free of any conflict or misinformation, we’re not sure what to write about.”

No wonder it’s one of10 of my most anticipated TV shows that’ll be released in mid-2024– well, it would’ve been 12, butThe Bearseason 3andThe Rings of Powerseason 2’s mid-2024 releases hadn’t been announced by the time of that article’s publication.
