The Boys season 5 spoilers: Why is creator ‘terrified’?
As many of you may be aware of at this point, The Boys season 5 is coming to Prime Video next month — and yes, it will be chaotic.
So just how chaotic are we talking about here? Well, a suitable place to start off here is with a reminder that lives are going to be lost here as the world is inevitably going to be so much more violent than it has ever been before. How can it not, mostly when you consider everything that we have seen so far?

Speaking in a new interview with SFX Magazine, creator Eric Kripke did his best to map out just what this particular world is going to be looking like as we push onward:
“It’s just a totally transformed world … It’s Homelander’s world and, unfortunately, we’re all living in it. Starlight is mounting a desperate resistance, but The Boys are scattered. Frenchie, Mother’s Milk and Hughie have been captured. We talked a lot about the French Resistance and prison camp breaks. We were really working our way through that kind of season.
“I mean, there are not full battle scenes because we still don’t have Game of Thrones‘ budget, but there are a lot of very direct confrontations; a lot of the people that you want to see smashing into each other smash into each other. I hope it’s cathartic and emotionally satisfying, but I’m a tiny bit terrified.”
So, who could die?
Almost anyone really! We’re worried about people like Kimiko and Frenchie given that they would do almost anything for the people they love. Meanwhile, Homelander could very well get killed, but he is going to try everything he can to keep that from happening. After all, he will be looking to try and become immortal at the start of the season.
