Jack Quaid, the star of the hit series The Boys, has shared a new behind-the-scenes photo from the set of the show’s fifth and final season. As fans of the series know, one thing is certain: Huey Campbell, played by Quaid, often ends up covered in blood! The photo doesn’t give much context, but it suggests that Huey will find himself in another bloody situation when the show returns next year.
Filming for the fifth season has been going on since last November. In the season 4 finale, Huey and many of his teammates faced a dire fate as they were captured by the forces of Homelander, the show’s main antagonist. This latest set photo hints at the potential setting for the upcoming season and leaves fans speculating about what might happen next.
What to Expect in Season 5
The season 4 finale left viewers on the edge of their seats, with only Annie January, aka Starlight, powered up and ready to fight, while Billy Butcher is on the run. It seems like it will be up to Annie to rescue Huey and the others from their predicament. The stakes have never been higher!
Eric Kripke, the showrunner, has mentioned in interviews that the scripts for the new season are still being written. This means that while filming is underway, there may still be surprises in store for fans. The comics on which the show is based have seen many major characters meet their demise, with Billy Butcher eventually becoming a villain who eliminates most of his own team. However, the series has taken its own path, often diverging from the source material, so we can expect some unique twists ahead.
