- The boys season 5 won’t hold back on the character death front
- Karl Urban says people will be killed as soon as its final season begins
- Prime Video’s satirical superhero show is ending after this season
Hang in there, fans The boysbecause your favorite character might not be safe in the fifth and final season of the hit show.
At least that’s what Karl Urban says, who plays Supe-hater William ‘Billy’ Butcher in Prime Video’s TV adaptation. Speaking to Variety ahead of the premiere of his new Amazon film BluffUrban warned that the satirical superhero series won’t hold back when it comes to killing off members of its ensemble cast.
“Every season, but especially this season, from episode one, you’re like, ‘oh wow,'” Urban teased. “No one is safe. [There are] fatal accidents right from the start. Let’s go! Last season! It’s all on!”

Given the amount of people who have shuffled off their mortal coils over the past four seasons, plus the fact that this is the hugely popular show’s last hurray, one or more carnage can be expected when The boys season 5 premieres on April 8.
Furthermore, Urban’s comments don’t actually spoil who could be in on the chopping block The boys season 5. Still, it’s as good an indication as any that some characters — starring or otherwise — who populate this universe won’t survive what will be its deadliest eight-parter yet.
Who is most likely to die in The Boys season 5?
Who are the most likely candidates to perish? Butcher and longtime adversary Homelander seem like dead certs, the pair’s long-running feud being one of them The boys‘ big storylines that need to be resolved before Season 5’s final credits roll.
With Butcher slowly dying of cancer and Homelander being the show’s sinister Big Bad, I’d be amazed if either or both of them make it out alive. And with The boys ostensibly building on a climactic showdown between the pair, I don’t think it’s a secret to say they’ll survive long enough for their long-awaited duel to take place in the series’ final ever entry.
As for everyone else, it looks like it’s going to be a lottery of who lives and who dies The boys‘ last season. As long as Hughie, Starlight, Mother’s Milk, Frenchie and Kimiko live to tell the tale, though, I don’t care who else earns a headstone.
