What Happened Before the Finale?
Season 5, Episode 7 delivered shocking deaths that changed everything. Frenchie died protecting Kimiko in the penultimate episode, setting up the stakes for the final confrontation. Tomer Capone’s character fought valiantly against Homelander but couldn’t survive the encounter.

“In a final season full of major deaths, The Boys killed off another main character in its penultimate episode. Frenchie put up one last fight against Homelander to protect his love Kimiko but he was no match for the all-powerful supe.”

Will the Finale Follow the Comics or Go in New Directions?
Showrunner Eric Kripke revealed the TV finale won’t replicate the comic book ending. The original comic series ended with Black Noir as a Homelander clone revealed in the final arc. The TV show dramatically altered that storyline in season three, killing Black Noir long before the finale.
This means unexpected twists await viewers. The series has consistently deviated from Garth Ennis’s source material to create bold, shocking moments. May 20 will likely deliver something entirely fresh for devoted fans.
Why Fans Can’t Wait Until May 20
The entire cast returns for their final performances. Karl Urban as Butcher, Antony Starr as Homelander, and Erin Moriarty as Starlight conclude their character arcs in this climactic battle. The cast has spent five seasons building to this explosive moment.
Will Hughie and Starlight survive the chaos? Can anyone stop Homelander once and for all? The questions viewers have been asking will finally get answered on May 20.
