‘The Boys’ Cast Answers Burning Questions About Season 4’s Devastating Ending and That Mid-Credits Scene


"The Boys" Season 4 finale ended in the darkest timeline possible, setting up an intense Season 5, which will be its final installment.

In rapid succession, Annie’s (Erin Moriarty) newly returned powers helped her escape, but forced her to leave Hughie (Jack Quaid) behind; Homelander (Antony Starr) is now fully in control of the new U.S. government, since Congress has declared martial law, and he’s planning further chaos with Sister Sage (Susan Heyward); Ryan (Cameron Crovetti) has killed the Boys’ founder, Grace Mallory (Laila Robins), in a Homelander-esque rage, and runs away; and Butcher (Karl Urban) and his imaginary friend Kessler (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) ride off into the night with a vial of the global pandemic-level supe virus, after Butcher killed a repentant Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit). And that’s not even counting what happens after the finale credits begin to roll, when it’s revealed to Homelander that his supe father, Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy, is alive, and is currently being held in a frozen state, just waiting to be revived. Kimiko speaks for the first time ever, if we’re not counting the musical dream sequence in Season 3) — and it’s to scream “No!” as she and Frenchie are separated by “Gen V” characters Cate (Maddie Phillips) and Sam (Asa Germann).
