What's Inside?

  • Antony Starr calls portraying Homelander “the highlight of my career” while reflecting on the show’s challenges and unforgettable creative journey.
  • The Boys Season 5 wraps filming, with Homelander’s political influence growing and the final season set for a 2026 release.
  • Starr thanks cast, crew, and fans, praising the series as “beautiful, complex, warped, delicious” and promising an explosive final season.

Since its explosive debut in July 2019, The Boys has redefined the superhero genre with its sharp satire, shocking twists, and unapologetic edge. Now, with Season 5 wrapping filming in June 2025, Antony Starr – the man behind the unsettlingly charismatic Homelander has penned an emotional farewell to the role that has become the pinnacle of his career. The upcoming season will mark the show’s grand finale, set to premiere in 2026.

On Instagram, Antony Starr shared a series of behind-the-scenes snapshots — from blood-smeared Homelander stills to candid cast moments — accompanied by a deeply personal note. “Ok. Been waiting a little to let things settle and try and process the end of this show,” he began, admitting that it was “difficult” to put into words what the journey had meant to him. Calling the series “the highlight” of his career, Starr reflected on the remarkable ride that endured production hurdles from the COVID-19 pandemic to the 2023 Hollywood strikes.

His tribute overflowed with thanks — from “the incredible Canadian crew” and “insanely talented cast” to Amazon and Sony, who, as he humorously noted, “made the great choice in casting me.” Starr also acknowledged every contributor to what he described as “this beautiful, complex, warped, delicious show.”

Speaking of Homelander, Starr’s words captured the deep creative connection he shared with the character: “This complicated character allowed the space and range to discover and push boundaries in a way I never expected.” He reserved special praise for showrunner Eric Kripke, calling him his “co-parent with this twisted gem of a character,” before adding, “We created a monster, sir. And I will miss him, and you.”

Over five seasons, Antony Starr’s Homelander has been the magnetic and menacing force at the heart of The Boys. From shockingly unhinged displays of power to some of television’s most talked-about moments — the milk obsession, chilling public speeches, and ruthless eliminations — the stars-and-stripes-clad supe has remained an unpredictable, dangerous presence. In Season 5, Homelander’s political grip tightens as he entrenches himself in Washington, while The Boys themselves face capture or exile.

Though the show’s curtain is closing, the The Boys universe isn’t going quiet. Spinoff Gen V will return for its second season on September 17, 2025, keeping the satirical world alive for fans eager for more morally messy supes. Still, Starr’s departure marks the end of an era — one that blended raw villainy with unsettling charm in a way few characters ever achieve.

In his final sign-off, Starr left fans with one last in-character wink: “Okidoke people. We cooked for the last time. Can’t wait to show you what we made. TIL that day, Homelander, signing off.” For many, it was a bittersweet reminder that while the cape and boots may soon be retired, Homelander’s shadow over the superhero genre will loom for years to come.
