THE BOYS is an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes, who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as Gods, abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It’s the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about “The Seven,” and their formidable Vought backing. We also discuss the satellite shows Diabolical and Gen V.
Even if the show "ends" with season 5, they won't kill off Homelander. He may be incapacitated, frozen in some capsule, maybe stripped of his powers via Soldier Boy... but not killed. Why? Simple. Homelander will always be that backup character, "When there's an emergency (we need money), break open glass."
If they end the series at season 5, Sony and Amazon will still be wanting to capitalize on the property, which is the reason for so many spin offs. And when those spin offs inevitably aren't as successful as the main show? BOOM.... resurrect Homelander.
