As The Boys gears up for its explosive fifth and final season, fans are in for what promises to be the wildest and most shocking ride yet. According to Nathan Mitchell, who portrays the mysterious Black Noir, The Boys Season 5 will take viewers on a journey full of unexpected twists, emotional arcs, and the show’s signature brand of grotesque chaos.
Nathan Mitchell Teases More of “New Noir”
After Black Noir’s brutal death at the hands of Homelander in Season 3, fans were stunned to see the character return in Season 4—but with a dark twist. The version of Black Noir seen posthumously isn’t the original, but rather an actor hired by Vought to maintain the illusion that Noir is still alive. Mitchell, who originally played Earving—the silent, masked original—was finally allowed to show his face and speak in Season 4, surprising longtime viewers.
Mitchell recently spoke about what’s coming in Season 5 and hinted at big developments for his character.
“Ah, man. I am excited for the audience to see more new Noir in Season 5,” Mitchell said. “I think we learn more about him, and I think it’s a fun ride. There are character arcs, journeys, and very gross moments in Season 5 that you are not expecting.”
While plot details remain under wraps, Mitchell emphasized that fans should expect the unexpected.
“Where we go with certain characters, you’re going to be like, ‘Oh, I knew we were going somewhere, but I didn’t know we were going there!’” he teased. “I think it is going to be an amazing conclusion, and I can’t wait to share this journey with the fans.”
Filming Wraps as The Final Season Takes Shape
Although no official release date has been announced, it appears that production on Season 5 has wrapped. Cast members recently posted celebratory photos and videos online, indicating that a wrap party took place over the weekend. That’s good news for fans eager to see how the story ends.
This final chapter will not only dive deeper into characters like the new Black Noir but also bring the narrative arcs of other major players—like Homelander, Butcher, Hughie, and Starlight—to a head.
A Supernatural Reunion in the Works
Adding to the excitement, The Boys Season 5 will feature a mini-reunion for Supernatural fans. Jensen Ackles is confirmed to return as the unhinged and unpredictable Soldier Boy. But that’s not all—Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins are also joining the final season, though their roles remain under wraps.
While Ackles has already made his mark in the series, it’ll be the first time viewers see Padalecki and Collins in The Boys universe. Their inclusion has sparked massive speculation, especially since showrunner Eric Kripke—who also created Supernatural—is known for weaving wild surprises into his storytelling.
A Bizarre New Power in Episode 1
Though full plot details are still a mystery, early reports suggest that the first episode of Season 5 will introduce a character with a particularly strange superpower—one so bizarre, in fact, that even writers have joked about how odd it is to describe. If previous seasons are any indication, this new “Supe” will likely deliver one of those WTF moments that The Boys has become famous for.
What’s Next for Fans?
With production wrapped and the cast hinting at big surprises, The Boys Season 5 is shaping up to be a thrilling conclusion to a series that’s never been afraid to push boundaries. Whether it’s the evolution of Black Noir, the return of Soldier Boy, or the Supernatural reunion, fans can expect a finale packed with gore, dark humor, and emotional payoffs.
Though Amazon Prime Video hasn’t set a premiere date yet, viewers can safely assume Season 5 will debut sometime in 2025. Until then, fans can revisit earlier seasons or explore Prime’s growing catalog of superhero and action-driven series.
