As a lot as I nonetheless completely have to see how The Boys will observe up on the whole lot that went down in that bonkers Season 4 finale, I additionally dread that second’s arrival, as a result of it’ll imply the comedian adaptation’s ultimate season has begun, and solely a finite variety of hours will probably be left to spend with this sordid batch of heroes, villains and the whole lot in between. (Actually the whole lot.) However now Homelander’s Antony Starr is getting me all labored up months forward of time together with his prolonged farewell publish.
The Boys completed filming the ultimate season in early July, with co-star Erin Moriarty reflecting on Starlight’s journey virtually instantly, and a few celebratory Emmy nominations being introduced a few weeks later. It took Antony Starr a bit over a month to convey all of his emotions out about closing the e book on Homelander — presumably a e book about nursing — however he shared fairly a number of heartfelt emotions on Instagram alongside a collection of bloody and candid behind-the-scenes pics.
Starr started by usually addressing the Boys’ inventive group with the ability to convey a present like this to life with none obstacles…nicely, aside from these two industry-halting incidents, that’s. In his phrases:
Tough (for me) to place into phrases what an unbelievable experience this has been. How a lot life and progress has occurred. How superb the group is. It’s really been the spotlight of my profession. After we started, I had no thought what was coming. This juggernaut left the station and by no means stopped. Aside from that Covid second. Oh and the strikes. That was a factor too. However other than these two occasions, it by no means stopped, boldly making its mark on the tv panorama. There’s nothing else prefer it. It lives in its personal lane.
The actor additionally pulled focus in on Homelander himself, a personality whose actions are virtually all the time repugnant and shockingly skeezy, and but we have now to like him anyway. (Partially because of the risk of being laser-eyed out of existence in any other case.) Starr addressed the enjoyment of portraying the omnipotent Supe, saying:
I really like this present. And I really like this character. Actually. I’ll dearly miss heading to work, understanding what we had been aiming for however by no means understanding the place we’d discover ourselves by the top of the day…solely that we’d have enjoyable and it might be creatively rewarding within the excessive. This difficult character allowed the area and vary to find and push boundaries in a approach I by no means anticipated and I’ll all the time be pleased about this expertise.
Sequence creator Eric Kripke, who’s chargeable for the ultimate season’s massive Supernatural reunion between Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins, understandably acquired a particular shout-out in Antony Starr’s farewell publish. The truth that he straight up says the chapter is closed is kinda miserable, since I am nonetheless holding out hope that he’ll present up someway within the upcoming spinoff Vought Rebellion, in addition to in Gen V Season 2. (However the latter is premiering earlier than The Boys.)
And naturally large gratitude to my co-parent with this twisted gem of a character- [Erik Kripke]. We created a monster, sir. And I’ll miss him, and also you. Til we roll out the final season. Once I’ll see you. However this inventive chapter is closed , and I’ll miss it, brother. 🙏🏼
Starr ended his publish by giving because of all The Boys‘ followers watching the present with Amazon Prime subscriptions and preserving it atop Prime Video’s Prime 10 checklist. As he put it:
You’re the life blood. With out you, we don’t get to do that. And our followers are second to none. Mad like to you….and deepest respect in your style 😉 Okidoke folks. We cooked for the final time. Can’t wait to indicate you what we made. TIL that day, Homelander, signing off. Xo
To be anticipated, Starr’s publish earned tons of affection from followers who shared every kind of constructive and bittersweet feedback about how glorious he was/is as Homelander, and the way a lot that character will probably be missed.

Additionally to be anticipated, a number of of Antony Starr’s co-stars and Boys buddies shared replies of their very own, as seen beneath:
- NATE MITCHELL: Love you buddy ❤️❤️❤️
- KAREN FUKAHARA: What a fucking time we had. Grateful to have had this expertise with you + drastically miss it already 🫶🏻💛

For now, it is unclear when The Boys‘ ultimate season will drop, and it doubtless will not occur in the course of the 2025 TV schedule, however maybe we are able to kick off 2026 with some head-exploding, orgy-tastic good occasions. And, you recognize, hopefully the present debuts then as nicely. (Homelander would chuckle awkwardly at that joke.)
