Karl Urban has confirmed that the upcoming fifth season of The Boys will address the origin of Billy Butcher’s forehead scar.
Speaking at the MCM London Comic Con, the actor shared that Season 5 will explore the story behind the scar. He added that he initially preferred to leave it a mystery, but the new season will reveal the truth. Urban said, “Personally, I would actually love to keep that a bit enigmatic. But, Season 5, you’re going to find out the origin of Butcher’s scar. That is one spoiler I will tell you – so I can’t divulge it in this room, but you are going to find out.” (via Games Radar)
While specific details about the upcoming episodes remain a secret, filming for the final season has officially wrapped. Series creator and showrunner Eric Kripke confirmed the news in July, calling it a “bittersweet” moment. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, “This is the last time I’ll ever be on this set. It’ll be torn down soon. It’s bittersweet, but my primary feeling is gratitude.”
Urban will reprise his role as Billy Butcher in the upcoming season. Other returning cast members include Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Laz Alonso, Karen Fukuhara, Tomer Capone, and Antony Starr. The fifth season is expected to continue the storyline from the events of Gen V Season 2.
An official premiere date for the upcoming season, which will conclude the Prime Video show, has yet to be confirmed.
