The Boys Finale to Spark Mixed Reactions, Says Actress

With the final season of The Boys premiering soon, the cast is sharing insights into the finale's emotional impact. Erin Moriarty, who plays Starlight, told Collider that she expects viewers to have "mixed responses" to the ending, anticipating a more emotionally complex conclusion than a straightforward victory. Colby Minifie and Karen Fukuhara echoed this sentiment, hinting at a powerful and shocking finale. Minifie believes the last episode will leave viewers both satisfied and yearning for more, calling it "beautiful." Moriarty added that Season 5 will surprise viewers with both laughter and shock, while also carrying unexpected emotional weight. She noted that the complex portrayals of even the most malevolent characters will lead to greater emotional investment from the audience than anticipated. The final season of The Boys premieres May 20 on Prime Video. Several spinoffs are also in development, expanding The Boys universe. Vought Rising, set in the 1950s, will star Aya Cash and Jensen Ackles. Another series, The Boys: Mexico, will feature Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal.
