Okay, so The Boys just dropped its series finale, “Blood and Bone,” and we NEED to talk about who survived the absolute chaos of Homelander vs. Butcher , because honestly? Way more people made it out than we expected.
Remember back in Season 3 when Homelander (Antony Starr) and Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) basically shook hands on a mutual destruction pact? Yeah, that “scorched earth” energy did NOT fully deliver. Some beloved characters definitely bit the dust, but a surprisingly solid chunk of the cast lived to fight another day. Let’s break it all down.
First up , Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles). Here’s the thing: he wasn’t even IN the finale. No final showdown moment, no sneaky post-credits cameo (and yes, there are zero post-credits scenes, so don’t sit through the Kripke logo waiting). As of Episode 7, our problematic super-daddy is still frozen in cryostasis. Whether someone defrosted him before the credits rolled on the whole series? Genuinely unclear. What we DO know is he’ll pop up in the already-filmed prequel series Vought Rising, set in the 1950s. So he’s alive, technically , just extremely cold and very much asleep.
Now, the Gen V crew. Despite their own show getting the axe, Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair), Jordan Li (London Thor), and Emma Meyer (Lizze Broadway) all made it out. Their exit? Driving a truck full of refugees straight to Canada, which is honestly very on-brand. Fans had been theorizing Marie would unleash her blood powers against Homelander in some epic final moment , spoiler: nope, didn’t happen. Emma did show up to drop some choice words and handle the driving duties, though, so she gets full credit. The rest of the Gen V kids are reportedly safe in hiding, even if the finale didn’t bother giving them a proper shoutout by name.
So yeah , The Boys went out swinging, but maybe not with the full bloodbath some of us were bracing for. Some characters got satisfying endings, some got ambiguous ones, and one is literally on ice waiting for a prequel to explain his whole deal.
Five seasons, endless superhero carnage, and somehow Canada is where the story ends. Very Boys of them, honestly.
