Latest News About The Boys Cast

Here’s the latest I can share about The Boys cast (as of early 2026).

• The Boys Season 5 is underway and set to be the final season, with production wrapping up around mid-2025 and premiered later in 2025 or early 2026, according to press briefings and official posts. This season is described as bigger and more supernatural, with notable guest and returning players confirmed.[1][3]

• Returning core cast members include Antony Starr (Homelander), Karl Urban (Billy Butcher), Jack Quaid (Hughie), Erin Moriarty (Starlight), Laz Alonso (Mother’s Milk), Karen Fukuhara (Kimiko), Tomer Kapon (Frenchie), and Jessie T. Usher (A-Train) among others, with ongoing expectations that the main ensemble will be complemented by new guest leads.[2][1]

• New additions for Season 5 include Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins in guest roles, Mason Dye as Bombsight, and Daveed Diggs in an unspecified new role, as part of a broader push to expand the cast for the final run. Some details about these characters remain under wraps.[1]

• There have been multiple reports about other guest appearances and return engagements tied to the finale, including Jensen Ackles’s continued involvement as Soldier Boy and occasional reunions with Supernatural co-stars for crossover moments. Exact screen time and story placements are still being finalized.[3][1]
