It’s been nearly seven years for the reason that satirical superhero series, The Boys, starring Karl Urban, Antony Starr, and Jack Quaid, premiered on Prime Video. The show felt like a breath of fresh air when audiences were mostly exposed to movies and series based on Marvel and DC comics (not that they weren’t good). After an extended wait, fans will finally get to look at the ultimate episode of The Boys Season 5 on May 20, 2026.
Although the most recent season currently has an audience rating of 66% on Rotten Tomatoes, critics have responded rather more strongly, with a stellar 97% rating. As viewers are waiting with bated breath for the finale, try five daring predictions about how The Boys season 5 could potentially end.
(Major Spoilers Ahead For The Boys Season 5)
1. Billy Butcher Beats Homelander But Does Not Kill Him
After The Boys successfully replicate Soldier Boy’s supe-stripping ability using Kimiko, Homelander’s powers are finally taken away. Billy Butcher enters the White House (as seen within the poster), beats Homelander, but doesn’t kill him. Without his powers, Homelander feels vulnerable and totally helpless for the primary time, a fate that’s worse than death for him.

2. Hughie Kills Billy Butcher
After defeating Homelander, Billy Butcher goes on a violent spree and decides to eliminate every surviving superhero on the planet. Hughie, who’s already aware of Butcher’s dark past, steps in and kills Butcher, possibly with the assistance of Ryan, Homelander’s son, who shares an advanced relationship with Butcher.

After the pipeline disaster, the sadistic and selfish superhero The Deep feels threatened by his former allies – marine animals.
