‘The Boys’ Creator Says Final Season Has Wrapped Filming: ‘This Is the Last Time I’ll Ever Be on This Set’

“The Boys” will soon come to an end.

In a heartfelt Instagram post Tuesday night, “The Boys” creator and showrunner Eric Kripke shared that the fifth and final season of Amazon Prime’s superhero dramedy has wrapped filming.

“This is the last time I’ll ever be on this set,” Kripke wrote. “It’ll be torn down soon. It’s bittersweet, but my primary feeling is gratitude. We have the best cast, the best crew, the most fun story to write, and something that is impossible to predict: the right timing. You wait your whole career to have maybe two of those things, if you’re lucky. We got all of them. To [‘The Boys’] family: thank you, I love you all. To the fans: thanks for watching, can’t wait for you to see the grand finale. That’s a wrap.”

“The Boys,” based on the comic series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, was first released back in 2019. It follows a group of vigilantes, some super, some not, who team up to take down corrupt superheroes who use their powers only for personal gain. The show stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara and Nathan Mitchell.

Throughout the previous four seasons, “The Boys” earned one Emmy Award for outstanding stunt coordination for a drama series in 2023. The show has been nominated at the Emmys seven times.

While discussing “The Boys” Season 5 at a FYC panel in December 2024, Kripke said he enjoyed the creative freedom that comes with writing the final season of a show.

“It’s really fun when it’s the end,” Kripke said. “It’s hard and it hasn’t hit me yet about the emotion of it. But just from a story point of, you don’t have to keep storylines going into a season beyond that really lets you blow the doors off it in a really exciting way.”
