The Boys returned to the global stage at CCXP in São Paulo on Saturday. The event gave fans their first official look at the hit series’ upcoming final season. A new trailer immediately established a dark, tense tone for the conclusion.
The footage reveals an America fully under Homelander’s control. This new dystopian reality follows the catastrophic events of the season four finale. Billy Butcher and his exhausted team now navigate this oppressive regime as their final battle looms.
The trailer introduces unsettling new power dynamics. Ashley Barrett now serves as Homelander’s White House press secretary, tightening his grip on media and propaganda.
Amid the bleak setting, Karl Urban’s Billy Butcher delivers a pivotal line to his crew. He states, “You wouldn’t be the first throwing your life away in a war, but you would be the first saving the world doing it.” This moment serves as the season’s defining rallying cry.

Prime Video also confirmed the release schedule for the final season. The series will premiere on April 8, 2026, with the first two episodes launching together. The season will then conclude on May 20, 2026, wrapping the flagship series.
Over its run, The Boys has become a defining original for Prime Video. Its success spawned the acclaimed spinoff Gen V and ignited consistent cultural conversation. The show’s sharp political satire often mirrors real-world events, sometimes by accident.
Series creator Erik Kripke joined the cast on stage at CCXP. He has frequently discussed how the real-world political climate shaped the show’s narrative. Kripke once recalled the surprise of Donald Trump’s election during the series’ development.
He explained that their original goal was a realistic show about superheroes as corrupt celebrities. The election, however, reshaped their metaphor. Kripke noted, “Suddenly, we were telling a story about the intersection of celebrity and authoritarianism and how social media and entertainment are used to sell fascism.”
