Official: «The Boys» will end with the fifth season

The creator of «The Boys,» Eric Kripke, announced that the next season will be the last. «Thrilled to bring the story to a gory, epic, moist climax,» the showrunner wrote on X.

Kripke also spoke with Entertainment Weekly and admitted that he is finally happy to implement his five-season plan. In the past, he wanted to end «Supernatural» in the same way, but something went wrong.

Part of it is such a wonky stupid screenwriter thing but three and five are the big magical numbers for writing. Three is movie acts, TV acts are five. Jokes are a runner of three for five. Five just seems like a good round number. It's enough to tell the story but also bring it to a climax without wearing out its welcome. It's been hard because I haven't been able to tell everyone. I was thrilled to finally be able to get the word out there.
— Eric Kripke

The premiere of the fourth season of «The Boys» starts on June 13. On Rotten Tomatoes, it was rated 81%. According to critics, the new season has become darker and slower in pace, but fans should be pleased.
