The stakes are high from the start. The official season page says, “Homelander controls America through fascist terror, imprisoning dissenters in Freedom Camps. Butcher, Hughie, Annie and The Boys mount a desperate resistance against insurmountable odds to stop his tyrannical rule.” The material provided adds another major line from Amazon MGM Studios: “He sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change the world and everyone in it.

It’s the climax, people. Big stuff’s gonna happen.” Karl Urban also hinted at how brutal the last season gets. He said, “Every season, but particularly this season, from episode 1 you’re like, ‘Oh wow.’ Like, nobody is safe. Like, fatalities, right from the get go. Let’s go, last season, it’s all on.” The returning cast includes Antony Starr, Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Chace Crawford, Jessie T. Usher, Karen Fukuhara, Laz Alonso, Nathan Mitchell, and Tomer Capone.

The season also features Jensen Ackles, while Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins join the show for the final run.
