Daveed Diggs Joins ‘The Boys’ For Fifth & Final Season

Prime Video’s The Boys has added Daveed Diggs as a series for the show’s fifth and final season. Details regarding his character are under wraps.

Based on The New York Times’ best-selling comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys subverts the superhero genre, imagining a present day where awesome avengers, controlled by the unscrupulous Vought corporation, purport to stand for “truth and justice” while secretly committing heinous acts.

Showrunner and EP Eric Kripke recently teased that fans should expect to say goodbye to many of the show’s characters in Season 5.

“There’s no guarantee of who’s gonna survive because we don’t have to keep them for another season, so you can have really shocking, big things happen all the time,” Kripke told Total Film. “And so, as the writers, as we’re starting to cook it up, we’re really enjoying that.”

Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson also serve as executive producers and it is developed by executive producer and showrunner Eric Kripke. Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Phil Sgriccia, Michaela Starr, Paul Grellong, David Reed, Judalina Neira, Jessica Chou, Ken F. Levin, and Jason Netter also serve as executive producers. The Boys is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television, with Kripke Enterprises, Original Film, and Point Grey Pictures.
