As per the official description for The Boys Season 5: "In the fifth and final season, it's Homelander's world, completely subject to his erratic, egomaniacal whims. Hughie, Mother's Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned in a 'Freedom Camp'. Annie struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko is nowhere to be found. But when Butcher reappears, ready and willing to use a virus that will wipe all Supes off the map, he sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change the world and everyone in it. It's the climax, people. Big stuff's gonna happen," according to Variety.
The teaser also features Butcher (Karl Urban) reuniting with Hughie (Jack Quaid), Annie (Erin Moriarty), and the rest of The Boys, following his abrupt departure at the end of Season 4. The reunion hints at a high-stakes battle as the team fights to prevent global catastrophe.
In addition to Urban, Quaid, Starr, Moriarty, Padalecki, and Ackles, the final season also stars Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minifie, Cameron Crovetti, Susan Heyward, and Valorie Curry.
