Characters from the spin-off Gen V. Marie Moreau. Emma Meyer. And Jordan Li. All survived the finale, though Gen V will not return for a third season, Annie (Erin Moriarty) gave Marie a pep talk before the final battle.

Viewer Numbers and Fan Reactions

Season 5 of The Boys became the most-watched original series on Amazon Prime Video, with the 57 million viewers per episode being a record for the show. Amazon reported that the season also saw the largest three-week viewership increase of any series or film on the platform.

Despite the record numbers, fan reactions were mixed. Some viewers felt the finale underutilized key characters like Marie Moreau and her group, while others praised the emotional closure and firm action. Critics noted that the finale managed to wrap up the series’ long-running narrative without needing a feature-length runtime.

Future of the Franchise

With Season 5 confirmed as the final season of The Boys, showrunner Eric Kripke has stated there will be no Season 6. However, two new spinoffs are in development: Diabolical and Gen V will be followed by Vought Rising, a prequel set in the 1950s. Vought Rising will focus on characters Soldier Boy and Stormfront.

Gen V, however, will not return for a second season, with no third season in the works. Meanwhile, another spinoff project is in early development, though it has not yet received a green light. The show’s finale aired as the last episode of the series, marking the end of the original The Boys series on Prime Video.
