The Boys creator and showrunner Eric Kripke has revealed that some Amazon bosses questioned the decision for the Prime Video superhero series to stop at five seasons – so he left them with no choice thanks to the explosive ending of the fourth season.
"I kept saying to Amazon, ‘This is going to be five’," Kripke told SFX Magazine. "They let me finish season four, and it ends with the world exploding, right? There’s really nowhere else to go except the finale. Some of the senior executives were like, ‘Wait, do you really want to end it with season five?’ I’m like, ‘I wasn’t joking. And respectfully, you have no choice.’"
