The Boys S5 trailer leaves fans saying 'reality on steroids'

The final season of The Boys, Amazon Prime Video's irreverent satire on superheroes and capitalism is arriving this year. On Thursday, Prime Video dropped the trailer for season 5, meant to conclude The Boys saga.

And as the trailer showed Homelander trying to retain his supremacy in a world renouncing 'supes', many fans wondered whether the show was mirroring reality a bit too closely.

A press note from Prime Video describes the world of season 5. "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 logline reads.

The trailer shows glimpses of Homelander in the Oval Office, giving his signature evil smirk as he sits in the President's chair. There are also scenes of Black Noir and The Deep hosting their own far-right podcast, and depictions of internment camps for non-superheroes.
