Anthony Starr Sends Farewell Before The Boys Final Episode

anthony starr sent a farewell note to The Boys fans as the series moved toward its final episode. He wrote, "Sending kisses to all the fans. End of the road this week. X" The message lands just as Season 5 closes in on its endgame.

Blood and Bone on May 20

The final episode, titled Blood and Bone, is set to release on May 20 on Amazon Prime Video. That date turns Starr's post into more than a sign-off: it is a direct cue that the show's central story is about to reach its last beat, and viewers are waiting to see which threads the finale resolves.

Earlier episodes of Season 5 pushed Homelander into greater control over major institutions, while Soldier Boy's relationship with him broke down again. Those moves left the finale with two pressure points already in place, and they explain why the audience has narrowed so much of its speculation to those two characters.

Kripke on Soldier Boy

Eric Kripke said Soldier Boy will not appear in the final episode, cutting off one of the main fan theories headed into the end. He also said, "Our notion was their (Gen V characters) story wasn’t just over just because Homelander is dead. There was a whole other interesting space they occupy as young adults in this world."

Kripke added, "Knowing that that (the Impala reference) was going to be Jensen’s last scene in the series, we wanted to put in one last reference." The comments leave fans with one firm boundary and one open lane: Soldier Boy is out of the finale, but the broader world around Homelander still has room to keep moving.
