The finale of the fifth season of The Boys: the fate of Homelander and other Supes
20 may 2026 в 18:13
After five seasons, the series «The Boys» has officially concluded, and as expected, the final episode was filled with brutality and revenge. The Prime Video creators aptly titled the 8th episode of the 5th season «Blood and Bones». Now, fans seeking spoilers are wondering what happened to Homelander (Antony Starr), Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), and the other Supes.
We have prepared a complete overview of the 5th season finale of «The Boys» — from Homelander’s fate to the future of the Supes. (Warning: Spoilers for the 5th season finale of «The Boys» ahead.)
Using her new anti-Supe powers, Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) stripped Homelander of his abilities after he took control of America in his godlike status. Kimiko attacked Homelander, and he found himself nearly immobilized compared to his invulnerable and ruthless nature.
After losing his powers, Homelander was in the most vulnerable position viewers had ever seen.
Yes, Homelander finally got what he deserved in the final episode of «The Boys» — a brutal and bloody death. Butcher (Karl Urban) seized the moment to literally take down Homelander live on air, knocking out all the confidence he ever had.
Butcher finished the job by driving a crowbar into Homelander’s skull. And, as fans already know, Homelander’s death was not just the physical destruction of the character, but also a public humiliation and the overthrow of a dictator.
Many characters met their demise in the finale, aside from Homelander’s brutal death. The Father (David Diggs), The Deep (Chace Crawford), Butcher, and his dog Terror.
The Father died in an epic battle at the White House. Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso) delivered the final blow to the Father, causing his own sonic attack to backfire on him with the help of a mouthpiece. Ultimately, the Father’s head exploded.
The Deep also met a dramatic end, dying in a fight with Starlight/Annie. Annie dragged him into the ocean for continuing to support Homelander, and The Deep was ultimately killed by sea creatures when an octopus wrapped its tentacles around his head.
The death of Butcher’s dog, Terror, pushed him to his limits before his own death. Although Butcher was the one who killed Homelander and his planned authoritarian regime, he still attempted to carry out a genocide of the Supes by re-releasing the virus. Huey (Jack Quaid) mortally wounded Butcher, and he bled out in Huey’s arms.
Surprisingly, Soldier Boy did not appear in the 5th season finale. As fans remember, the penultimate episode showed Soldier Boy (also known as Ben) leaving as Homelander unsuccessfully tried to convince him that he could have a life of glory, wealth, and greatness with him. In the end, Homelander choked Soldier Boy until he lost consciousness and then pushed him back onto the ice to deal with him later.
Thus, Soldier Boy’s whereabouts in the 8th episode of the 5th season remain unconfirmed. His fate is left to the viewers' imagination until the premiere of «Vought Rising» in 2027.
Ryan survived the grim finale of «The Boys», - and his fate remains uncertain after witnessing Butcher’s fall. It seems the show has given the character an open future, allowing him to become a better Supe than Butcher or Homelander ever were
