A new behind-the-scenes cast photo has confirmed that production has begun on The Boys‘ fifth and final season.
Laz Alonso, who portrays Mother’s Milk in The Boys, shared the cast photo on his Instagram account alongside the caption, “And just like that….. we’re back!” The actor concluded the caption by tagging the official account for The Boys and adding the hashtags “#Season5” and “#letsgo”.
Based on Alonso’s caption, and that the photo’s location is listed as Toronto, Ontario, where The Boys films, it’s clear that the cast and crew have reconvened to start production on the final season of the fan-favorite Prime Video series.

Who is back for The Boys Season 5?
Going off the photo alone, the following cast members are back for The Boys Season 5: Jack Quaid (Hughie), Karl Urban (Billy Butcher), Atony Starr (Homelander), Jessie T. Usher (A-Train), Chace Crawford (The Deep), Karen Fukuhara (Kimiko), Valorie Curry (Firecracker), Colby Minifie (Ashley Barrett), Tomer Capone (Frenchie), Susan Heyward (Sister Sage), and Nathan Mitchell (Black Noir II).
Although not pictured in the cast photo, Erin Moriarty, Jensen Ackles, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan are also confirmed to return for the final season as Starlight, Soldier Boy, and Joe Kessler, respectively.
The fourth season of The Boys concluded on July 18, 2024. Although a premiere date has not yet been announced for Season 5, it is known that it will be the series’ final season, with The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke sharing back in June 2024 that a five-season run has always been the plan for the show. “Thrilled to bring the story to a gory, epic, moist climax,” he teased at the time.
While The Boys may be ending after its fifth season, Prime Video is set to keep the franchise alive with a multitude of spin-off series. In addition to a second season of Gen V, a Mexico-based spin-off is in development, as well as a 1950s-set prequel series titled Vought Rising. The latter will see Ackles and Aya Cash reprising their roles from The Boys as Soldier Boy and Stormfront, respectively.
The first four seasons of The Boys are streaming on Prime Video.
