The Boys is Amazon Prime's very successful and very gross streaming series that explores what a world full of super powered terrible people would be like. The show has had four seasons and the fifth will be its last. Season five began filming about six months ago, and Eric Kripke has shared an update on X on how things are going. He also mentioned the second spin off series, Vought Rising.

“Season 5 halfway through shooting. #VoughtRising writers room writing brilliant scripts & new super suits being designed. It’s all happening #TheBoys #SPNFamily”

There you have it! Season five is halfway through the filming process.

It will probably be quite a while until we have a release date for The Boys season five. It's unlikely that we'll see the fifth season until we'll into 2026. Vought Rising will be even later, likely into 2027. However, it's definitely good to see that the writing process for the new show is well underway!

Vought Rising is a prequel series to The Boys and will be set in the 1950s when Vought wasn’t the powerhouse of a company it is in The Boys. The show will prominently feature Soldier Boys played by Jensen Ackles and Stormfront played by Aya Cash.

Season five of The Boys ended with (SPOILERS) quite a few of the main characters captured and Homelander in an even stronger position of power Butcher is on the run after killing Neuman but may still be able to use the supe virus to end Homelander. Ryan murdered Grace Mallory and Soldier Boy is revealed to be alive. It was a huge ending!

Kripke also recently shared an update on season two of Gen V. He posted the following to X:

“Okay #GenV update! Eps are done editing, doing music, sound & VFX now. Finishing up the first trailer. Trailer drop & date announcement coming soon. (I think this season is better than S1 & will be worth the wait)."

This indicates that a trailer and possibly a release date could be upon us any day now!

Season one ended on a pretty big cliffhanger that involved Homelander showing up and blasting some people to bits with his laser eyes. The imprisoned students underneath the school are set free and many of them join a supe supremacist movement that also plays into The Boys season four. Cate and Sam end up siding with Homelander and are hailed as the new Guardians of Godolkin while Marie, Jordan, Emma, and Andre find themselves locked in a white room in an unknown location.

Are you excited for the fifth season of The Boys and the first of Vought Rising? Let us know in the comments!

"OMG BUT WHY? BUT WHY?" "THEY SHOULD HAVE STOPPED AT EPISODE 2 OF THE FIRST SEASON" "ITS JUST TOO MUCH" "WHYYYYYYYYY?" (Dramatic forecast of the upcoming comments)

A series that once mocked the commodification of superheroes now becoming an ever -expanding commodity franchise is peak irony.

Superheromoviefan - 4/1/2025, 10:44 AM

@mountainman -
ready to admit you were wrong when you said biden and fauci said the vaccine stops the spread?

mountainman - 4/1/2025, 10:53 AM

@Superheromoviefan - Why would I admit i was wrong when they are both on video stating just that?

Superheromoviefan - 4/1/2025, 11:04 AM

@mountainman -
no they didnt
first clip, he said, you wont get covid, not spread it
second clip the same
third says the current research suggest, not certain
the final was a news caster
so its a lie
do you admit?

McMurdo - 4/1/2025, 11:13 AM

@Superheromoviefan - so are you the resident Fauci defender? What's next, you gonna tell us Peter Daszak didn't have money in the Wuhan lab?

Superheromoviefan - 4/1/2025, 11:22 AM

@McMurdo -
he collaborated with the Wuhan Institute in research. whats the problem with that? expert on disease do that. thats how medicine, cures and vaccines are made

McMurdo - 4/1/2025, 11:35 AM

@Superheromoviefan - and do you consider conspiring with renowned scientists (some of whom were doing more than suggesting a natural origin was improbable considering the furin cleavage site of the spike protein a mere 7 days prior via email) to bury and demonize discussion surrounding the origin of the virus within the Lancet Jounal simple collaboration as well?

mountainman - 4/1/2025, 11:38 AM

@Superheromoviefan - It’s a very off behavior for you to come in to this thread and try to bait me into an unrelated argument. I’m not going to argue with you. I know what they said. I know the COVID policies that were implemented were both authoritarian and did nothing to help with the outcomes. But I do not wish to discuss this with you as you are proven yourself to be against logical arguments on this subject. It would be best for you, me, and everyone else on this forum for you to not engage in this type of conversation any more.

Superheromoviefan - 4/1/2025, 11:55 AM

@McMurdo -
i hear speculations only

Superheromoviefan - 4/1/2025, 11:59 AM

@mountainman -
keep running coward

if i was as wrong as you i would do the same, just like the last time you got exposed

McMurdo - 4/1/2025, 12:04 PM

@Superheromoviefan - literally nothing I stated above is speculation man. You don't sound very informed. This is all documented and verified.

mountainman - 4/1/2025, 12:04 PM

@Superheromoviefan - I have never seen a person so confident about being right who is actually wrong before. Great job.

Superheromoviefan - 4/1/2025, 12:05 PM

@McMurdo -
post it

@mountainman - Anything that is hosted by a billion dollar company, even one that gives creative freedom, will stifle creativity eventually.

Matter of fact I'm surprised they're getting to end the main show at Season 5. I'm certain Amazon would have preferred to drag the show out to Season 10 or whatever. The five season structure is Kripke's go-to, he did that with Supernatural as well. So I'm pretty sure 5 seasons was the plan.

The spin-offs feel like a compromise with Amazon along the lines of "You get to end the show on your terms, in return we get to keep the show 'alive' through spin-offs".

The comic-book had like 70 issues and ran for six years. Kind of fitting as well.

Superheromoviefan - 4/1/2025, 12:10 PM

@mountainman -
well, lets break it down
you said fauci and biden said the vaccines will stop the spreading and post a video as proof. in the video the clip of biden he says "you are ok you won't get covid if you have the vaccinations". nothing about spreading. next clip fauci says "vaccines prevent getting infected, prevent getting sick, prevent hospitalization". also nothing on spreading. they never said "the vaccines will stop the spread". they said you wont get simptoms, wont get hospitalize, wont get sick. never said wont spread it or even carry it

McMurdo - 4/1/2025, 12:18 PM

@Superheromoviefan - no problem.

mountainman - 4/1/2025, 12:20 PM

@Superheromoviefan - Keep trying to bait. You are still wrong. And will be wrong until the end of time. Just like Biden and Fauci were about COVID.

Now stop trying to bait me into a debate about some unrelated shit. I have more important things to do with my time than debating Branch Covidian cultists like you.

Superheromoviefan - 4/1/2025, 12:29 PM

@mountainman -
case and point loser

Superheromoviefan - 4/1/2025, 12:35 PM

here he is testify at congress

ToldYaSo - 4/1/2025, 2:21 PM

@Superheromoviefan - A question or two...

How does any of this relate to the article?

Why don't you go argue your point on reddit?

ARE YOU EFFING HIGH??? GTFO with your toxin.

mountainman - 4/1/2025, 2:22 PM

@Superheromoviefan - No case no point. You sound like a loser that got excited they win an imaginary fight with someone in their head.

Superheromoviefan - 4/1/2025, 2:35 PM

@ToldYaSo -
just confronting a coward who run

Superheromoviefan - 4/1/2025, 2:36 PM

@mountainman -
keep pivoting, theres a reason you couldnt find anything wrong with my summary

McMurdo - 4/1/2025, 4:56 PM

@Superheromoviefan - that's the whole point bud. He changed his mind 72 hours later. Then they published as much in the Lancet. I take it you believe it was zoonotic then? And what intermediate source are you of the believe it transferred to then

mountainman - 4/1/2025, 5:35 PM

@Superheromoviefan - I’ve ignored everything you have written because, as I said in my first response to you in this thread, I am not interested in arguing with you about something unrelated to what I posted in this article. You seem unwilling to accept this fact, so you continue arguing with yourself. It’s quite sad.

Superheromoviefan - 4/1/2025, 5:40 PM

@McMurdo -
i trust the experts. so, i dont know dude how could i prove it, there isnt anything i could do to prove it to you since you will say its proof of your side. if the people who you cite that asked the quections confirm they were wrong, but you still doubt it and think it also confirms your side

Superheromoviefan - 4/1/2025, 5:41 PM

@mountainman -
sure, but thats bc you ran away like a pussy in the past

mountainman - 4/1/2025, 5:49 PM

@Superheromoviefan - Fun fact: someone can’t run away from something they never participated in. Keep on sadly fighting with no one. And keep being wrong about COVID too. Being so confident about supporting the bad guys is an odd choice, but it’s the one you’ve made.

McMurdo - 4/1/2025, 5:53 PM

@Superheromoviefan - "my side".

Say less lol. No need to continue.

Superheromoviefan - 4/1/2025, 6:00 PM

@mountainman -
lol
"i didnt lose, i just didnt fight, bc if i did, oh boy you would be in trouble"

Superheromoviefan - 4/1/2025, 6:02 PM

@McMurdo -
yeah, you dont think everyone has a side? of are you one of those "i have my own side" and by own they mean exactly the side they sound alike

mountainman - 4/1/2025, 7:27 PM

@Superheromoviefan - Bro go and read my first comment on this thread, and the fact that my entire history of comments in this thread has told you I don’t want to discuss this with you today, and then think about how stupid you look trying to claim you won something today.

Superheromoviefan - 4/2/2025, 1:10 AM

@mountainman -
ok loser, run away

mountainman - 4/2/2025, 7:23 AM

@Superheromoviefan - How mad does it make you that I almost never wore masks and never took the vaccine for COVID? And that my wife and daughter also do not have COVID vaccines?

Does that make you personally mad? If so, you should really look at why and reevaluate your life.

Because outside of logging into this site to catch up on articles (RIP Val Kilmer), I don’t think about you at all. And even though you are demonstrably wrong about your views about COVID, I’m still not mad at you. You were manipulated and taken advantage of. I’m mad at the evil people who passed authoritarian policies for no good reason and messed up our society. But you for some god awful reason have tried baiting me into an argument on this subject, when it is completely irrelevant to the article and what I posted, when you know that neither of us are going to be changing the other one’s mind. I really feel bad for you and how pathetic your life must be for you to take this pointless one sided discussion literally into a second calendar day. Maybe if you stopped defending pointless authoritarianism, you could get a life’s. Just please don’t go key anyone’s car or firebomb any car dealerships. Folks with your political views sure like to both tell others how to live and destroy what belongs to others.

Superheromoviefan - 4/2/2025, 8:53 AM

@mountainman -
yes, i can tell how not mad you are lol
i thought you didnt want discuss this with me today, sunddenly you start a new topic, since you lost the last one we argue about lmao

mountainman - 4/2/2025, 8:59 AM

@Superheromoviefan - This guy still is deluded and thinks he won an argument that never happened. Quite sad actually.

Superheromoviefan - 4/2/2025, 9:50 AM

@mountainman -
keep crying and running

mountainman - 4/2/2025, 10:30 AM

@Superheromoviefan - I could post numerous articles and videos of Fauci, Biden, the then head of the CDC, numerous liars in the corporate press like Rachael Maddow all stating that the vaccine would either completely prevent spread or make you a “dead end” for the virus (like this one: https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/553773-fauci-vaccinated-people-become-dead-ends-for-the-coronavirus/)

But really it doesn’t matter how you want to split hairs of how it was discussed. The whole point was that vaccine mandates and passports were anti science since they didn’t stop the spread. You can incorrectly interpret what they all said all you wants but it doesn’t change the fact that the policies were objectively wrong.

And I tried a dozen times to avoid this conversation. Because I know you will ignore these facts and try to claim you are correct again.

But you just look stupid and obsessed. I don’t even remember the last time we discussed this. But I was commenting on a Boys article and brought nothing up about COVID in this thread. You tried stirring up shit and I tried avoiding it numerous times. But you persisted because you wanted to be proven wrong in public AGAIN. It’s sad. And assuming you are left leaning, it’s really weird of you to simp for one of the richest of most corrupt companies in the world, Pfizer.
