Antony Starr, the actor from The Boys, has responded to the Prime Video superhero series&#8217; season 5 finale.
In later interviews, showrunner and executive producer Eric Kripke reiterated that season 5 of The Boys will be the final season, stating that he believed it was the proper moment for the series to end. Even though Prime Video would have liked additional episodes, Kripke said he was happy to stick to his five-season plan.

Participating at a panel for Happy Sad. Starr got frank with Josh Horowitz and other The Boys actors about the reality that the show is ending after season 5. The actor revealed that he had previously been a part of a series that continued on past its intended ending point, and he did not mince words regarding his experience. Starr replied, in part, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been involved in a show that did this, it was f-king horrible.&#8221; Read the complete quote below:
<blockquote>“[Kripke] started the show saying that this was always in his head to go five seasons. And, of course, I don’t know about you guys, but I was sitting there going, ‘Pff, we’ll see. Oh, we shall see. It might only go two.’ But, no, the show has done well.”
“I think everyone wants to go out on a strong note, and I think there’s nothing worse &#8211; and I’ve been involved in a show that did this, it was f&#8211;cking horrible &#8211; you do that last season and it’s s&#8211;it. And you get remembered very poorly and you’ve got to kind of wear that. I like to think that we will go out on a really strong note and I think we all deserve it.”</blockquote>

<h3>Why The Boys Season 5 Being The Last Is The Right Move</h3>
It Gives The Show Some Needed Urgency.

<blockquote>&#8220;A virus that would wipe out all superpowered characters, even the good ones and the generally harmless, is a serious potential endgame.&#8221;</blockquote>
The Boys, like any long-running television series, has established patterns and cliches. Every season, the heroes endeavor to put an end to Homelander, but they make little headway, and the major protagonists are generally secure. That last section is especially startling, given that the high stakes and unstable individuals should make the narrative more chaotic.
However, with the recent revelations in season 4, episode 6, &#8220;Dirty Business,&#8221; the status quo appears to be finally disturbed. A virus that eliminates all superpowered characters, including the good and largely innocuous, is a severe potential endgame. It provides the Emmy-nominated Prime Video show a shock of forward energy that would not have been as strong without the knowledge that the final episodes are approaching. That could explain why Prime Video chose to reveal the final season so early.

A-Train&#8217;s impending death and battle with Homelander are further boosted by the fact that the adaptation is coming to a finish, since it increasingly feels like anything is possible for The Boys characters. Similar to Kripke&#8217;s Supernatural, the raunchy superhero series may still have some fantastic stories if it lasts more than five seasons. However, as Starr suggests, it&#8217;s preferable to end with a definite stopping point because it makes things feel more important.
