This may be up for some debate, but I'd say that is the best original show on — it's action-packed and shocking but has a lot of heart, with heroes you want to win and villains whom you'd love to see suffer some awful fate. However, sadly, the show is on the way out. With the premier of season 4 imminent on Thursday, June 13, the show's creator Eric Kripke has confirmed that the fifth season will be the final one.

He shared a heavily-redacted script page for the season 4 finale (which should hit Prime Video on Thursday, July 19) that ends with a title card confirming that season 5 is the final one. #TheBoys Season 4 Premiere Week is a good time to announce: Season 5 will be the Final Season! Always my plan, I just had to be cagey till I got the final OK from Vought. Thrilled to bring the story to a gory, epic, moist climax.

That's not a huge surprise as the comic book which is based on has finished, with a definite conclusion to the story laid out. This doesn't mean that the world of is over, with multiple spin-offs out or in the works ( is coming back for a second season and a Mexican version is reportedly in the works). But the main story of vigilante group The Boys and the evil superheroes working for Vought should wrap up.
