A recent trailer for season 5 of The Boys strongly suggests the show will follow Billy Butcher’s storyline from the comic books, including his difficult fate. The first two episodes of the fifth and final season will be available on Amazon on April 8, 2026, and the streaming service has already started promoting the show’s concluding season.
The first trailer for season 5 of The Boys is out, giving fans a glimpse of what happens after the shocking ending of season 4. The trailer hints at some big developments, including Ashley now working as the White House Press Secretary. We also see Homelander punching someone we can’t quite see, and it could be Butcher, Soldier Boy, or even Ryan.
The most exciting part of the trailer is when Butcher brings The Boys back together for a last fight against Vought. At the end of season 4, the team was forced to separate, and most were quickly captured by Homelander’s followers. Butcher says something in the trailer that might reveal what he’s ultimately planning.
Butcher Is Going “All The Way, No Matter The Cost” In The Boys Season 5

The trailer for The Boys season 5 reveals the conflict between The Boys and The Seven has exploded into a full-scale war. The streets of America are filled with bodies, and some members of The Boys are losing hope. However, Butcher inspires them to keep fighting with a powerful speech about the necessity of defeating evil.
Butcher insists he’s completely committed to his mission, regardless of the consequences. This suggests he’s willing to do anything – even if it means people get hurt or killed – to defeat the superheroes. It seems the show might be following the storyline from the original comic books regarding Butcher’s ultimate fate.
Will The Boys Season 5 Give Butcher His Comic Book Ending?

The original comic book by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson showed Butcher becoming dangerously fixated on eliminating superpowered individuals, even to the point of committing genocide, ultimately making him the story’s antagonist. Hughie was forced to kill him to prevent further destruction. A line Butcher says about going “all the way, no matter the cost” suggests the show might follow a similarly grim path.
The TV show’s finale will likely differ from the original comic books. While the show has consistently taken a different path than the comics – and many would argue it’s become better as a result – it’s suggested Butcher might still end up pursuing a drastic solution involving the elimination of all superpowered individuals, similar to his storyline in the comics.
