Giancarlo Esposito says the fifth and final season of The Boys will be a “whirlwind” as production on the flagship series continues.
“I think it’s going to be a whirlwind season,” Esposito revealed in an interview with Deadline. “Every show that comes to an end has an explosive ending in its final season, and The Boys is just such a very outrageous show, but also reflective of the world we live in now. When superheroes have the power to not only save us, but to harm us, that’s an interesting show.”
“I love it, because I believe that we are all superheroes. I believe that inside of us all, if you’re able to think differently, will unlock a hidden power that we all have. So, I’m convinced that the way to do that is to impact people in a way that gives them love, but also uplifts them, and also affirms their self-determination to be the best human beings they can be.”

“I‘m excited to finally execute a 5-season plan,” Eric Kripke, the showrunner behind The Boys, told Entertainment Weekly in June, referencing his time as showrunner on Supernatural, right before the series picked up for another ten years. “That’s very exciting for me.”
