The team must come together to save the world in the upcoming season.

The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke explains how the season 4 ending sets up season 5, which is confirmed to be the final season of the popular series. The season 4 finale saw Homelander gaining full control of the United States of America and the Boys in a worse position than ever before.

While speaking with LADbible, Kripke discussed why he wanted season 4 to end this way, and teased what it means for the series’ final episodes. Check out his explanation below:

You know, I think the finale of season four really shows you that we’ve been planning five years all along, because there’s no way a show goes one more season after the events of that finale. As far as we’re concerned, it’s our show’s version of the apocalypse.

Homelander gets everything he has wanted from the beginning, which is to completely remake the United States in his image, and according to his whims.

The boys are at their lowest point, most of them are captured, and we worry for their future. I always look at it as of the five seasons, we’re kind of at that point, that’s sort of the end of the second act of a movie where everyone’s really at their low point, and they’ve all faced their own personal demons. Now, they need to really come together in the fifth season and save the world.
