2026 has been a massive year for Prime Video so far, but the success it has seen this year dates back to the end of 2025. On December 16, 2025, Prime Video debuted the long-awaited second season of Fallout, its hit sci-fi series based on the popular video game franchise of the same name. Prime Video was so confident that Fallout was going to perform that the show was renewed for Season 3 months before an episode of Season 2 hit the air. Prime Video is also fresh off the success of the fourth season of Invincible, which just went off the air a few weeks ago. After a considerable gap between the first and second seasons, though, Prime Video has since righted the ship and released new seasons of Invincible at a much quicker pace since Season 2 — Season 5 is already confirmed to premiere in 2027.
However, one show that’s been on the air longer than both Fallout and Invincible is The Boys, the hit superhero series that tackles a much more realistic take on what superheroes would be like in the real world. The Boys arrived back in 2019, and the show has consistently put out new seasons every year or two. At the conclusion of Season 4 back in 2024, Prime Video renewed The Boys for Season 5, confirming that it would be the show’s final season. There are now only a few episodes remaining in The Boys Season 5, but Prime Video just made a game-changing announcement for the series. The Boys series finale is officially coming to theaters on May 19, one day before the final episode is set to air on Prime Video. A new poster has also been released to celebrate the announcement.
What’s Happening in ‘The Boys’ Season 5 Right Now?
The latest events in The Boys Season 5 have Homelander (played by Antony Starr) and his father, Soldier Boy (played by Jensen Ackles), racing against The Boys to find V1. The original Compound V formula not only produced the strongest supes when it was first invented, but it also made those who could survive it completely immortal. If Homelander gets his hands on V1, there will be no one or nothing that can stop him from killing whoever he wants. The Boys aim to use a supe-killing virus to take him out before he can acquire the ultimate upgrade.
