While the show focuses on a wide range of characters and plotlines, the intense feud between Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and Homelander (Antony Starr) has always been at the forefront of Eric Kripke's adaptation of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's The Boys, and Prime Video has now released a new teaser recapping this "scorched earth" rivalry.

Butcher has been obsessed with bringing the psychotic leader of The Seven down ever since he learned that he raped his late wife, Becca. Of course, Homelander could have eliminated his nemesis any time he chose to, but in season 3, the pair agreed to extend their conflict - likely at the expense of everyone around them.

In the season 4 finale, Butcher manifested some formidable superpowers of his own, which will no doubt even the playing field when these two clash for their long-awaited final battle in season 5.

The streamer has also released a new poster featuring season 5's episode release schedule.

Check out the teaser and poster below, along with the recently released trailer.

In the fifth and final season of The Boys, it's Homelander’s world, completely subject to his erratic, egomaniacal whims. Hughie, Mother's Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned in a "Freedom Camp." Annie struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko is nowhere to be found. But when Butcher reappears, ready and willing to use a virus that will wipe all Supes off the map, he sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change the world and everyone in it. It's the climax, people. Big stuff's gonna happen.

The Boys stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, Colby Minifie, Cameron Crovetti, Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jensen Ackles, and Daveed Diggs.

Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Phil Sgriccia, Michaela Starr, Paul Grellong, David Reed, Judalina Neira, Jessica Chou, Gabriel Garcia, Ori Marmur, Ken F. Levin and Jason Netter serve as executive producers.

Cool recap imo…

Both Karl Urban & especially Antony Starr have done great in their respective roles and helped give us a rivalry that is compelling and engaging over the course of 4 seasons thus far so i hope the fifth & final one brings it to a satisfying conclusion.

Personally I think it should be Butcher redeeming himself via a self sacrifice to save everyone that kills him & Homelander both since mutually assured destruction always seemed like how this was gonna end I feel!!.

I need to try and catch up but like EVERYTHING on TV now I get so tired of seeing the political crap and trying to make it about Right wing people. Show really started pushing that in like season 3 and it was exhausting.

@AgentofSH1ELD - Well, to be fair, much of what is wrong with the world can be laid at "right wing people"'s feet, whether you label them conservatives, alt right, far right, islamic extremists, evangelical christian, etc etc.

Same well spring of hypocrisy, hate, and small mindedness.

@Pathogen - Thats your opinion. Others could say much of what is wrong with the world is because the left allowed certain things to happen.
So, to be fair, much of what is wrong with the world is both of the parties faults and can be laid at our feet for allowing it to happen.
Difference is, hollywood is full of Lib tards (not even democrats) and want to shit all over everything that doesnt involve them or their money.
Cant point the finger at the right when the left is just as responsible.

@AgentofSH1ELD - I will gladly agree with you, the left allowance. Hell, most people on the left like to tout The Handmaids Tale, dress like them in marches...and yet don't know that it was modeled on the revolution in Iran, how leftist policies allowed the fanatical muslim take over. The allegory is made that yes, it can happen in America too.
And so it begins

@Pathogen - !!!! Exactly!!! Thats the thing... Some of the right are crazy asf and want what I call "super freedom" and some of the left just want to control EVERY aspect of your life. Handmaids Tale is a perfect example. Its all about power and not about freedoms for you or I. Ive been making the argument that within 10 years we will see a split ticket for President. Both sides are going crazy so we will see a repub and a dem running together. Thats what we need anyway.
