With The Boys on its way to its conclusion, Eric Kripke, the showrunner of the hit Prime Video show, said he is excited about how the story will end.
In a chat with Variety, he said, “It’s really fun when it’s the end. It’s hard and it hasn’t hit me yet about the emotion of it. But just from a story point of, you don’t have to keep storylines going into a season beyond that really lets you blow the doors off it in a really exciting way.”
His comments come at the FYC panel, where he was present with the cast of the series.
Antony Starr, who plays Homelander, praised the freedom the streamer gave to the showrunner during the making of The Boys.
“I was just thinking what a great spot we’re in, because a lot of times, your show gets canned and you never see it coming. You don’t see the train coming down the tracks."
"We’ve known since Day 1 — you said, five seasons. And I said, whatever, see if we do well! And nope, five seasons, which is beautiful because we get to go back," the actor added.
"We know that we’re leaving this project. We’ll all stay in touch because everyone does genuinely get on. But we will make the most of every moment that we have together as individuals and as creatives because we’ve had that forewarning," he concluded.
