The Boys has confirmed the addition of Daveed Diggs to its cast for the fifth and final season, although details about his character remain under wraps. The show's official Twitter announced the news with excitement, but fans will have to remain patient as the show is expected to air in 2026.

Fans can look forward to more content even after the series concludes.

When will The Boys season 5 be released?

The Boys season 5 is expected to be released in 2026, following a similar timeline to previous seasons which often saw multi-year gaps between releases.

The show, which airs on Amazon Prime Video, explores themes of corruption, power, and the dark side of superheroes, becoming a critical and commercial success since its premiere. With a dedicated fan base, the anticipation for the final season is particularly high, especially after the cliffhanger ending of season 4.

It's always exciting to see fresh talent like Daveed Diggs joining a series as bold as The Boys; it just adds more layers to an already wild narrative. Sure, the long wait until 2026 feels like a stretch, but with Gen V keeping the universe alive in the meantime, there's plenty to look forward to in the meantime

It's wild to think we have to wait until 2026 for the final season of The Boys, but at least we know the universe isn’t slowing down with a spin-off on the way Daveed Diggs joining the cast adds some serious talent, so I’m excited to see how they keep pushing those boundaries.
