Amazon's Prime Video announced today that The Boys will be ending after its fifth season. The news comes less than a month after the superhero drama was picked up for Season 5, and just two days before its Season 4 premiere.

"#TheBoys Season 4 Premiere Week is a good time to announce: Season 5 will be the Final Season!" showrunner Eric Kripke said in a post on social media. "Always my plan, I just had to be cagey till I got the final OK from Vought. Thrilled to bring the story to a gory, epic, moist climax. Watch Season 4 in 2 DAYS, cause the end has begun!"

Based on the comic book by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, the series is set in a world where powerful and revered superheroes abuse their powers instead of using them for good. To combat this, a superpowered CIA squad is tasked with monitoring the community and exposing the truth about The Seven, and Vought – the multi-billion dollar conglomerate that manages these superheroes and covers up all of their dirty secrets.
