Fans react to ‘President Homelander’ in The Boys Season 5 trailer

Amazon Prime Video and Sony Pictures Television have released the first trailer for Season 5 of ‘The Boys,’ offering a sneak peek at what’s to come. The trailer ends with a striking image: Homelander sitting in the Oval Office with a smile, suggesting he’s achieved complete power over the United States and, potentially, the world.

The trailer makes his immense power clear, with him claiming it’s “absolute” and far beyond anything anyone could imagine. This is reinforced by his stated aim to get America ready for his “ascension.”

Fans reacted positively to the shot. Here’s what they had to say:

Season 5 of The Boys will have six episodes, with the first two launching on Prime Video on April 8, 2026. The remaining episodes will then be released each week, with the season finale arriving on May 20.

Karl Urban, who plays Billy Butcher, says viewers should prepare for many character deaths this season. He revealed to Variety that ‘nobody is safe,’ starting with the very first episode.

According to an official summary, Homelander is completely in control, acting on his unpredictable and self-centered desires. Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie are being held captive in a so-called ‘Freedom Camp,’ while Annie tries to fight back against the powerful Supes. Kimiko’s whereabouts are currently unknown (via Deadline).

The story then shows Butcher returning with a virus capable of eliminating all Supes, triggering a series of events that will drastically and permanently alter the world and the lives of everyone in it. This is the story’s peak – major developments are about to unfold.

Eric Kripke is the creator and showrunner of The Boys. The series is a co-production between Amazon MGM Studios, Sony Pictures Television, and Kripke’s production company, Kripke Enterprises.
