‘The Boys’ Season 5 Introduces Daveed Diggs—That’s All Ya Get For Now

The Boys is one of the most popular superhero series worldwide. Based on the comic book of the same name, this darker take on the superhero genre has gained significant traction on Amazon Prime, continuously pushing the limits of what can be shown on television.

As the series gears up for the production of its fifth and final season, we can expect more details to emerge. This means we’ll likely see plot leaks, production updates, photos, videos, and new casting announcements. This report will focus on the latest casting news.

The official Twitter account for The Boys has just confirmed a new casting for the fifth and final season, but the tweet shared only the essentials and had the signature style you’d expect from The Boys.

As you know, the situation in the series is pretty chaotic after Season 4’s finale, and everyone is hinting at a wild final season that will completely change the game.

Each character finds themselves in a tough spot, so we can expect a lot of intriguing character development. However, that doesn’t mean the final season won’t introduce new characters. Before we dive in, here’s the tweet in question:

Yes, the tweet was definitely impactful, with The Boys account sharing a Butcher image that made it clear we shouldn’t expect any more information right now. That said, Daveed Diggs is officially joining the final season of The Boys, and judging by the fan reactions in the comments, there’s a lot of excitement surrounding this news.

Diggs is best known for his standout dual roles as Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson in the musical Hamilton. He has also appeared in the series Black-ish (2016–2018) and co-starred in films like Wonder (2017), Velvet Buzzsaw (2019), and The Little Mermaid (2023).

Additionally, he is one of the stars of the Snowpiercer series, which many comic book fans may recognize him from.

At this time, we don’t know who Diggs will portray, as the tweet didn’t reveal any details. However, the crew is certainly building anticipation for the final season in the best way possible. Unfortunately, it’s a bittersweet reminder that The Boys Season 5 won’t premiere until 2026, as confirmed by Kripke and Amazon.
