If the Trump allegories weren’t clear enough across four seasons of The Boys, the fifth and final season of Prime’s bloody superhero farce takes that conceit all the way. After successfully dispatching his fiercest opponents in the political sphere, Homelander (Antony Starr) finally has absolute power within his grasp. Season 5 will pick up shortly after the demise of Vice President Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit), the impeachment of President Robert Singer (Jim Beaver), and the election of a new leader of the free world, who just so happens to be a Homelander stan. With martial law in place and his dissenters on the run, Homelander can turn his gaze toward his “bigger destiny”: immortality.
So begins the latest trailer for The Boys’ highly-anticipated finale, which lays out Homelander’s endgame in clear, blood-soaked detail. The omnipotent supe is searching for the V1, the original iteration of the substance that turned everyday humans into enhanced individuals. With help from his foul-mouthed father, Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), Homelander will set off looking for the fountain of youth. At that point, he’ll be unstoppable — that is, unless Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and the Boys have anything to say about it.
