Our Take On The Boys Season 5 Wrapping Filming
It Is Great News
WithThe Boysbeing one of my favorite shows in recent years, I amthrilled to hear that production on season 5 has now wrapped, and that post-production has now begun. Many ofThe Boys' cast membershave provided vague teases about the final season being satisfying, and at this point, I am ready to see the ending for myself.
Amid all the progress, I amglad to see Kripke taking a moment to reflect. He and the rest of the cast and crew should be proud of creating a lasting show that not only subverts the superhero genre, but that provides powerful real-world commentary in ways that are equally hilarious, sobering, and entertaining.
As the wait forThe Boysseason 5 continues, audiences can enjoyGen Vseason 2, with its three-episode premiere releasing on September 17 on Prime Video.Gen Vand the other spinoffs would not be possible withoutThe Boys, though, and I am most interested in seeing the conclusion to the original show.
