Filming has officially wrapped on the fifth and final season of Prime Video's The Boys, with showrunner Eric Kripke taking to social media to share the news along with a photo from the Vought Tower set.

The shot finds Kripke standing in The Seven's Action Room, with a mural of Homelander with his arms outstretched visible above the table.

“This is the last time I'll ever be on this set," writes Kripke. "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 #TheBoys 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."

In the season 4 finale, the leader of The Seven took one step closer to the Oval Office while enacting his plan to round up all anti-Supe protestors and confine them to prison camps. Hughie, Frenchie, Kimiko, and MM were captured, with Starlight and the now even more volatile and unpredictable Butcher still at large.

“There will probably be lots of deaths," creator Eric Kripke says of the final season during an interview with Deadline. “There’s no guarantee of who’s gonna survive.” Nathan Mitchell (Black Noir) added: “There are some things that are coming in Season 5 that you’re not going to have in your bingo card.”

“I look at the last two seasons … like an accordion,” offered Antony Starr (Homelander). “One piece of the accordion is going out and then this is the compression going back in. There was a lot of setup in Season 4 for Season 5. Everything is gunning towards that climactic end. So it’s exciting at the moment because we’re filming all that.”

Potential spoilers follow.

In the comics, pretty much every major character aside from Hughie and Starlight dies, with Billy Butcher ultimately becoming a full-blown villain and taking out most of his own team. The Prime Video series has never been a particularly faithful adaptation, however, so we can't see Kripke being quite so merciless.

Yes, Butcher did embrace his darker side in the season 4 finale, but if he does go down - and we'd say both him and Homelander checking out is a given - there will surely be some redemption involved.

That’s a nice & sweet post by Kripke…

Anyway looking forward to seeing the show wrap up as someone who has been a big fan of it till now!!.

My theory is that Butcher will sacrifice himself and take out Homelander also while the rest of The Boys survive…

The Deep will likely die too aswell as maybe Ashley & Firecracker amongst others while I can see Hughie & Annie adopting and raising Ryan to be an actual hero.

Can't wait, I think they knew they were drawing out the Homelander v. Butcher saga. This will likely be the best/most explosive season, I can't wait!

@Bdub21 - yeah

Given how singularly focused the show was on them and the conflict between The Boys & The Seven unlike the comic that went into various other side plots , there was only so much back & forth that was gonna happen between them that this was bound to end sooner then later.

I'm assuming Butcher kills Homelander the same was his clone/Black Noir does in the comics. Butcher then probably gets taken out by Hughie

I've been waiting 4 long seasons to see Homelander get his ass kicked. All we got was a 3 on 1 fight that Homelander still escaped.
Seeing the smug, sociopath get beat the hell up will be so satisfying.

For now, Gen V will have to do. That's cool though, because that 1st season was solid.

The first 2 seasons were great. Was very disappointed in Season 3 and haven't seen anything else after.
