The Boys may be heading into its final season, season five. But that doesn’t mean new faces can’t come aboard the super team of actors that bring this intense, gory, and outrageous show to life. Ahead of its season five premiere, The Boys has revealed five new members of its cast: Ely Henry, Dylan Colton, Emma Elle Paterson, and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. Ely Henry is joining in the role of “The Worm.” Meanwhile, Dylan Colton, Emma Elle Paterson, and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan are coming in as members of Teenage Kix, Vought International’s all-teenage superhero team from the original The Boys graphic novel. As we said, it’s never too late to adapt new characters from the original graphic novel. And we know these new members of The Boys season five cast will bring even more excellence to the table.
Those who love the original The Boys graphic novel will know that Teenage Kix is a superhero team created by Vought International to specifically appeal to a younger audience. Gotta widen the base, you know? In The Boys season four, Ryan Butcher, the illegitimate son of Homelander and Becca Butcher, received an offer to join Teenage Kix. We’ll have to wait and see how that all plays out in season four.
For now, here’s what we know: “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.“
The Boys season five will premiere with its first two episodes on April 8, 2026. We’re excited to see all our favorite familiar supes, as well as this latest new cast, come back to us for one final season of The Boys.
