SPOILER ALERT: This story includes details from the currently streaming Season 5 of Prime Video‘s The Boys.
The Boys’ final season is currently streaming new episodes on Prime Video. Many of the regulars have already met their fates and more is certainly to come ahead of the series finale. Composers Matt Bowen and Christopher Lennertz won’t spoil what’s ahead but say their music will only get bigger.
“Literally every week somebody’s dying, and so it’s only caused us to up the quotient,” Lennertz said at Deadline’s Sound and Screen Television awards-season event. “There’s actually a lot more emotion this year. There’s a lot more orchestra especially as we get to [episodes] 6, 7 and 8 because it deserves it. We’ve fallen in love with these characters and now we unfortunately have to say goodbye to some of them.”
The duo conducted orchestra performances of selections of music during the Sound & Screen event, including a gospel choir for the funeral rendition of A-Train’s (Jessie T. Usher) “Faster.”
Lennertz said when they learned A-Train’s fate, show creator Eric Kripke told them, “ ‘We need to take “Faster” and make it a giant anthem.’ It was a full on rap song in Season 2 that Jessie Usher did. Eric wanted it fully reimagined. I got all those amazing singers. Shout-out to Bryson Camper who did a gospel arrangement.”
Kripke often tells the composer duo they haven’t gone far enough. Bowen said this season he got the directive to “blow the f*ckin’ doors off.” So they did, beginning with the recap that opens the season.
“The very first cue of Season 5 is one of the biggest cues we’ve written in the entire franchise,” Bowen said. “That set the tone for the rest of the season.”
Bowen and Lennertz will also score the spinoff Vought Rising. Set in the 1950s with Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash, Vought will give the composers new sounds with which to play.
“Paul Grellong, who’s writing the show, who’s been a writer on The Boys the whole time, is just a genius, [and] has some really special stuff cooked up,” Lennertz said. “It’s not the same show but it’s got everything you love and all kinds of new stuff too.”
Even with a new job lined up, the composers will miss The Boys. Lennertz will also miss the conversations it sparks.
“I’ll miss the watercooler-ness of it all,” Lennertz said. “I’ve been in pizza places where I walk in and overhear someone like, ‘Do you believe the penis exploded?’ All the time this happened. It’s amazing to be part of a show that entered pop culture like that.”
