About this episode

The episode reviews Season 5 of The Boys, discussing its themes, characters, and overall reception.

Tonight on TV Party Tonight, we're reviewing Season 5 of The Boys, the fifth and final chapter of Eric Kripke's satirical superhero saga based on the comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. Produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television, the season brings back Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Karen Fukuhara, Chace Crawford, Laz Alonso, and the rest of the core cast, with Daveed Diggs joining the ensemble. As Homelander tightens his grip on America and seeks the original Compound V formula that could make him effectively immortal, Billy Butcher and The Boys unite for one final mission, armed with a virus capable of wiping out every Supe on Earth. Premiering on Prime Video in April 2026 and concluding in May, the season earned generally favorable reviews for its action, performances, social commentary, humor, and emotional payoff, though some critics cited pacing issues and a lack of focus. Tonight, we'll see if the finale sticks the landing.
