The Boys kicks off its endgame with a two-part Season 5 premiere on April 8.
In the final season, Homelander is at the peak of his powers after gaining control of the U.S. government. Meanwhile, Butcher returns more vengeful and unhinged than ever.
However, they are far from the only players who will determine the outcome of the final battle. From Vought employees to newcomers, anyone could change the game.
Highlights
- The Boys Season 5 sets up the climactic showdown between Homelander and Butcher.
- New arrivals and returning faces expand the stakes ahead of the series’ endgame.
- Characters from Gen V cross over, while a Supernatural reunion is also on the cards.
Here are all the key cast members confirmed for Season 5.

The maniacal leader of The Seven now controls the U.S. government. With no one left to keep him in check, Homelander is more dangerous than ever and poses a threat to not only the Boys but the entire world.
Karl Urban as Billy Butcher
The de facto leader of the Boys returns despite losing his team’s trust. The last time fans saw Butcher, he had gained new powers but was slowly d*ing from them. With a dangerous virus at his disposal, he will try to eradicate Supes before his time runs out.
Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy

Following his introduction in season 3, Ackles returns as a series regular in the final season. As the original leader of The Seven and Homelander’s biological father, he becomes the ultimate wildcard in the final battle.
Jack Quaid as Hughie Campbell
The group’s moral and emotional compass, Hughie, will undoubtedly play a major role in the final battle. Given his newfound confidence, he may be the only person capable of bringing Butcher back from the dark side.
Erin Moriarty as Annie January/Starlight
