Another superhero team joins The Boys universe.
The fifth and final season of the Prime Video series cast Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Emma Elle Patterson, and Dylan Colton as members of the youth superhero team Teenage Kicks. Ely Henry also joined the cast as a new super named Worm.
Season 5 begins with two episodes on Wednesday, with new episodes streaming weekly on Prime Video, culminating with the series finale on May 20th. “This is Homelander’s world, completely ruled by his erratic, self-centered whims,” the logline teases. “Huey, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned in ‘Freedom Camp.’ Annie struggles to resist the overwhelming Super Force. Kimiko is nowhere to be found. But when Butcher reappears, he’s ready and willing to use a virus that wipes all Supers from the map, setting in motion a chain of events that will change the world and everyone in it forever. It’s the climax, everyone. Big things are going to happen.”
Season 5 will include new actors Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Jesse T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minifie, Cameron Crovetti, Susan Hayward, Valorie Curry, and Daveed Diggs.
Colton will play Vought’s hero named Jetstreak, Patterson will play Cherine, and Ramakrishnan will play Count Crow. Similar to the original “The Boys” comics, Teenage Kicks is one of Vought’s other super teams, consisting of teenage heroes designed to appeal to a younger audience.
