JBye-bye, ‘Boys’ Prime Video superheroes bid farewell in Season 5
ust as there comes a time when we all need a hero, there also comes a time when our heroes must bid us adieu. After seven years and what will be 40 episodes throughout its run, Prime Video’s “The Boys” is going out with a bang.
Join the action when the fifth and final season of “The Boys” premieres with a two-episode drop Wednesday, April 8, on Prime Video. Subsequent episodes will air weekly until the series finale Wednesday, May 30.
According to the official description offered by Prime, “’The Boys’ is an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes, who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as gods, abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It’s the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about ‘The Seven’ and their formidable Vought backing.”
At its core, “The Boys” is a vigilante story that tackles themes of corporate greed, misplaced power and the weaponization of human beings, while posing the question of where one’s civic responsibility begins and ends in the face of largescale corruption. Headed toward its culmination point, the action series — which is also not without its share of comedic moments — gets darker as Homelander (Antony Starr, “Outrageous Fortune”) controls America through fascist terror, imprisoning dissenters in Freedom Camps.
“It’s Homelander’s world, completely subject to his erratic, egomaniacal whims,” reads the Season 5 description on Prime’s press site.
“Hughie [Jack Quaid, “Companion,” 2025], Mother’s Milk [Laz Alonso, “My Dad the Bounty Hunter”] and Frenchie [Tomer Capone, “Fauda”] are imprisoned in a Freedom Camp. Annie [Erin Moriarty, “Jessica Jones”] struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko [Karen Fukuhara, “The Boy and the Heron,” 2023] is nowhere to be found.
“But when Butcher [Karl Urban, “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,” 2003] reappears, ready and willing to use a virus that will wipe all Supes off the map,” the description continues, “he sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change the world and everyone in it.”
Homelander has been the villain throughout the entire series thus far, but online discussion per ComicBook.com suggests that perhaps things aren’t all they appear to be as the series comes to a close, especially when considering how closely the television adaptation has kept to the comic book storyline.
Without sharing the potential spoilers discussed in the ComicBook.com article (curious individuals can seek out Clay Pitman’s March 15
piece online), it remains entirely likely that a more diabolical villain than even Homelander could materialize during these last eight episodes.
“One popular ‘The Boys’ Season 5 theory is that the show will do a fairly accurate adaptation of the comic book series’ ending,” reads Pitman’s piece. “In the comics, [one of their own] becomes the main villain of the show.
“Although ‘The Boys’ has been building up to a final confrontation with Homelander this entire time, this theory states that it will pull the rug out from under fans by switching things up [from the expected] and [conclude] with a final confrontation with [redacted].”
Regardless of the direction writers go with the series’ ending, there is always the possibility that the story will continue by way of a prequel series, sequel series, spinoff or film franchise; indeed, the Supes-in-training series “Gen V” is awaiting Season 3 confirmation at Prime Video and a brandnew production is “confirmed to be in development,” per Collider.com.
Collider has also reported that a new project
has been announced and is expected to release before Season 5 hits the streamer. (If all goes according to plan, that timeline means that the project is already out.)
“Arvore Immersive has teamed up with ‘The Boys’ for a new VR game, titled The Boys: Trigger Warning, which will be released on March 26,” reads the March 11 Collider piece. “The series follows Lucas, a new hero in The Boys universe, who is pulled into a violent fight with Vought while working alongside Butcher and Mother’s Milk.”
In addition to the returning main cast, the final season of “The Boys” includes “Supernatural” stars Jensen Ackles (returning as Soldier Boy), Jeffrey Dean Morgan (returning as Joe Kessler), Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins, alongside “Breaking Bad’s” Giancarlo Esposito (returning as Stan Edgar) and series newcomer Daveed Diggs (“Hamilton,” 2020).
“It’s been an incredible [expletive] journey, best job of my life,” wrote showrunner and producer Eric Kripke (“Supernatural”) in a post on Instagram, adding that “the best part of filmmak-
ing isn’t the film, it’s the making. ... Solving problems together and laughing a lot. I’ll miss the show, but far more, I’ll miss the people I made the show with.
“You guys have my love and gratitude forever,” Kripke concluded. “[I] can’t wait for everyone to see what we cooked up.”
Kripke returns to helm the series, which is based on the comics of the same name by Garth Ennis (“Constantine,” 2005) and Darick Robertson (“Gen V”), who also serve as executive producers alongside Seth Rogen (“The Studio”), Evan Goldberg (“Superbad,” 2007) and James Weaver (“This Is the End,” 2013), to name a few of many.

Catch the series premiere of “Big Mistakes” when it arrives Thursday, April 9, on Netflix, with creatorexecutive producer Dan Levy (“Schitt’s Creek”) and Taylor Ortega (“Kim Possible,” 2019) starring as Nicky and Morgan, two siblings who are in over their heads when a misguided theft for their dying grandmother (Patsy Meck, “Silver Linings Playbook,” 2012) goes spectacularly wrong, resulting in them being blackmailed into working for organized crime.

“The Testaments” - Season 1
The story of Gilead continues when the first season of “The Testaments” premieres Wednesday, April 8, on Hulu. Based on Margaret Atwood’s sequel to “The Handmaid’s Tale,” the series shifts the story forward to a new generation coming of age inside Gilead. At the center are two teenage girls whose
lives could not be more different. Agnes (Chase Infiniti, “Presumed Innocent”) has been raised inside Gilead, dutiful, devout and prepared for the future expected of her. Meanwhile, Daisy (Lucy Halliday, “Blue Jean,” 2022), a newcomer from beyond Gilead’s borders, arrives carrying questions that challenge everything the regime demands its citizens believe. Both soon find themselves within the gilded yet brutal halls of Aunt Lydia’s (Ann Dowd, “The Handmaid’s Tale”) elite school for future wives. As their unlikely bond deepens, the girls begin to uncover the truth about the system that has shaped their lives — a discovery that threatens Gilead’s carefully controlled future. Written for television by “The Handmaid’s Tale” creator Bruce Miller, “The Testaments” stars Hattie Kragten (“The Snoopy Show”) as Constance, Zarrin Darnell-Martin (“Ginny & Georgia”) as Aunt Gabbana, Blessing Adedijo (“Humane,” 2024) as Zilla and Brad Alexander (“You”) as Garth.

Operating from a planet beyond Imperial control, Maul begins rebuilding his criminal syndicate and tightening his grip on the underworld. His plans take a new turn when he encounters Devon Izara (Gideon Adlon, “The Mustang,” 2019), a disillusioned young Jedi Padawan who could become the apprentice he needs in his relentless pursuit of revenge.

This isn’t the “outcome” he was hoping for. From writer-director Jonah Hill (“21 Jump Street,” 2012), a Hollywood star’s spotless image begins to unravel
when “Outcome” makes its way over to Apple TV Friday, April 10. This dark comedy follows Reef Hawk (Keanu Reeves, “The Matrix,” 1999), a beloved Hollywood star whose polished reputation is thrown into jeopardy when a mysterious video surfaces, threatening to destroy his career. Determined to uncover who’s behind the blackmail, Reef sets out to confront the mistakes of his past. With the help of his lifelong friends, Kyle (Cameron Diaz, “My Best Friend’s Wedding,” 1997) and Xander (Matt Bomer, “In Time,” 2011), and guided by his crisis lawyer, Ira (played by Hill), he sets out to make amends with anyone he may have wronged — hoping the path to redemption will also lead him to the person behind the blackmail. David Spade (“The Emperor’s New Groove,” 2000), Kaia Gerber (“American Horror Story”) and Ivy Wolk (“Anora,” 2024) round out the cast, while Adam Merims (“Madame Web,” 2024) serves as executive producer.

This British crime drama follows DCI Joe Mottram (Warren Brown, “Strike Back”), a respected Metropolitan Police detective who retreats to the Italian island of Capri with his daughter, Angelica (Beau Gadsdon, “The Conjuring: Last Rites,” 2025), after a devastating personal loss. Hoping for a quiet summer with his late wife’s family, Joe instead finds himself drawn back into investigating crimes when trouble surfaces on the island. At the heart of the family is Elena Da Vinale (Phyllis Logan, “Downton Abbey”), the sharp and observant matriarch who runs the local restaurant. Meanwhile, Insp. Lara Sarrancino (Cristiana Dell’Anna, “The King of Laughter,” 2021), an ambitious detective with the Naples State Police, snoops around for clues. Created by Matt Baker (“Patience”), and with episodes directed by Jon Jones (“The Great Fire”), “A Taste for Murder” also stars Annamaria Serda (“Crawl,” 2019), Hari Mackinnon (“Staged”) and Yuri Buzzi (“Spy,” 2015).

By Adam Thomlison TV Media
Q: Has Leonardo DiCaprio ever been on “Saturday Night Live”?
A: I’ll answer your question exactly as you wrote it and say yes, silver-screen megastar Leonardo DiCaprio (“Inception,” 2010) has “been on” the landmark sketch show “Saturday Night Live.” But not in the way that might imply, because, at the same time, DiCaprio regularly features on lists of the (few) celebrities who’ve never hosted the show.
It was that longstanding absence that made his cameo appearance in 2014 such a thrilling surprise for fans.
His buddy Jonah Hill (“Moneyball,” 2013) was hosting in January 2014, just after getting an Oscar nomination for the movie they did together, “The Wolf of Wall Street” (2013). During his monologue, DiCaprio jumped on stage and suddenly the two of them were recreating the famous scene at the bow of the boat from DiCaprio’s 1997 star-making hit “Titanic” (it made sense in context).
It was just a brief moment during the monologue, so DiCaprio didn’t get a credit or anything. That means it also didn’t break his streak of decades of stardom without ever hosting the show. That streak is certainly notable, but it’s actually not all that strange. While it does seem like everyone who’s anyone has hosted the show at some point, in fact those lists mentioned earlier are pretty lengthy. And they include some comedians you’d imagine would be natural choices — folks like Sacha Baron Cohen (“Borat,” 2006) and Whoopi Goldberg (“Ghost,” 1990).
The lists also include some more of the most celebrated actors of our time — such as Sandra Bullock (“The Proposal,” 2009) and Denzel Washington (“Training Day,” 2001).
Q: Where else can I see the actor who plays Cate Randa on “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters”? She’s doing a great job on that show.
A: You aren’t the only one impressed by Anna Sawai’s (“F9: The Fast Saga,” 2021) work. She also has Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes (“1917,” 2019) in her fan club — he recently cast her in one of the central roles in his sprawling
quadrilogy of biopics about the members of The Beatles.
Sawai will play controversial art-scene icon Yoko Ono (“Isle of Dogs,” 2018), who married Beatles singer-songwriter John Lennon (played by “A Murder at the End of the World” star Harris Dickinson), turning the two into an early example of a celebrity power couple.
That’s the next big role in a pretty impressive run for Sawai. It includes her current role as thirdgeneration monster tracker Cate Randa on the Apple TV series “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters,” which debuted its second season in February.
She landed that role on the heels of a couple of other hits. First, she starred in the Apple TV family drama “Pachinko” from 2022-24. But more notably, she starred in the first season of the multiaward-winning smash “Shogun” — and got a bunch of those awards herself, including the big one: the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
Prior to all that, her most notable role was much earlier — as Kiriko in the 2009 sleeper-hit action movie “Ninja Assassin.”
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she said that she’s managed to keep her head (so far) in the midst of all this success — partly because it all came pretty quickly.
“I knew that a lot was going to happen before things would calm down, so I wasn’t getting myself too excited about everything. I was just going to each event, doing all the interviews and trying to keep myself grounded. So I don’t know if [life] is that different.”
We’ll see if that changes once she’s appeared in the highly anticipated Beatles movies, due out in 2028.
Q: Is Mark Harmon going to come back for more “NCIS: Origins”?
A: It seems likely. There will definitely be more of the show, and Mark Harmon (“Freaky Friday,” 2003) is a critical part of it, one way or another. Harmon, who starred as Leroy Jethro Gibbs in the original CBS hit “NCIS,” is an executive producer of “NCIS: Origins,” the prequel spinoff that chronicles his character’s younger years. He also narrates the new show as the older version of the Gibbs character; his younger self is played by Austin Stowell (“Bridge of Spies,” 2015).
We have no reason to believe that Harmon’s involvement will change for the show’s third season, which has already been greenlit, and will likely debut in the fall like the previous two.
It’s the only role on his plate right now — he’s still an executive producer on the original series but doesn’t have an on-screen presence. To be fair, Harmon has earned some downtime. He’s been a household name since his ‘80s heartthrob days, coming to fame on the TV classic “St. Elsewhere” and in films such as “Summer School” (1987) and “The Presidio” (1988).
