'The Boys' season 5 episode 1 and episode 2 release date and time
Wondering exactly when you can hang with the craziest superheroes on streaming? We've got all the answers you seek.
"The Boys" season 5 is slated to premiere Wednesday, April 8 on Prime Video.
Assuming Amazon sticks to that plan and doesn't opt for an early-release move (similar to its strategy for the first and last episodes of "Fallout" season 2), the first two episodes of "The Boys" season 5 should premiere worldwide on that date.
That said, there is still a chance Amazon could make a late change and release them on the evening of April 7 in North and South America. If that happens, the schedule below will obviously change. For now, though, you can count on this data for the expected release times for the show's Prime Video premiere.
U.S. — Wednesday, April 8 at 12 a.m. PT / 3 a.m. ET
Canada — Wednesday, April 8 at 12 a.m. PT / 3 a.m. ET
U.K. — Wednesday, April 8 at 8 a.m. BST

'The Boys' season 5 plot details
Since this is the final season of "The Boys," expect an epic endgame that's bloody and brutal. Here is Prime Video's official synopsis:
"In the fifth and final season, it’s Homelander’s world, completely subject to his erratic, egomaniacal whims. Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned in a “Freedom Camp.” Annie struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko is nowhere to be found. But when Butcher reappears, ready and willing to use a virus that will wipe all Supes off the map, he sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change the world and everyone in it. It’s the climax, people. Big stuff’s gonna happen."
