The Boys

As someone who found Season 4 of Amazon’s superhero satire, The Boys, rather lackluster, I’m happy to report that Season 5 is very much a return to form, at least so far. We’re two episodes in, and the third episode is just around the corner. The first two episodes were some of the best since Season 2.
Hopefully showrunner Eric Kripke and the rest of the show’s writers can keep the momentum for the next six episodes. Read on to find out everything you need to know about The Boys Season 5, Episode 3 plus the full season release schedule and more.
New episodes of The Boys release on Wednesdays on Amazon Prime Video at midnight Pacific Time. This is a global release, so Episode 3 will drop at the same time in every region Prime Video is available. Here’s what that translates to in your timezone:
The third episode clocks in at 1 hour and 2 minutes, just a tiny bit longer than the first two. The rest of Season 5’s episodes all clock in just above one hour. The remaining episodes release on the following dates:
MORE FOR YOU
Quite a lot went down in the first two episodes of The Boys Season 5 and I actually have a pretty detailed recap of both episodes right here.
One year has passed since the events of Season 4 and Homelander has solidified his hold over both Vought and the nation. A puppet president is in place. Butcher is on the run while MM, Frenchie and Hughie are all detainees in a Vought-run “Freedom Camp” for Starlighter sympathizers and other political prisoners. After Starlight releases the Flight 37 video showing Homelander’s true nature, he vows revenge and has Sister Sage leak that the Boys will be executed in three days. Butcher finds Starlight and Kimiko and they make an escape plan that goes very badly until A-Train shows up and finally does something truly heroic.
The Boys escape and move onto the testing stage of Butcher’s plan to release the supe-killing supervirus, which involves breaking into a mansion that houses supe infuencers and testing it out on them. Only, Homelander unfreezes his dad, Soldier Boy, and sends him after Butcher, withholding information about the supervirus. Things get crazy and two of the influencer supes are infected with the virus and die. Soldier Boy is also infected, but while everyone from Butcher and Starlight to Homelander himself thinks that Soldier Boy is dead, he’s revealed to be very much alive in the end.
I’m excited to see where Episode 3 takes us, but I’m not watching the trailer because I hate spoilers. I’ll be tuning into Episode 3 tomorrow so look for my recap and review here on this blog sometime tomorrow afternoon or evening. If you follow me on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook I always share my reviews to socials. What do you think of Season 5 so far?
