The Boys Season 5, Episode 7 Teaser Finally Brings Back Gen V Heroes as Homelander Takes the Oval Office

Prime Video has published a The Boys Season 5, Episode 7 teaser trailer, revealing that some members of the Gen V cast will soon return as a refreshed Homelander takes the Oval Office.

The footage shows a few brief glimpses from the penultimate episode of showrunner Eric Kripke’s brutal superhero show. With just two episodes left to go until the series finale, The Boys is set up for an explosive finish.

Warning! Spoilers for The Boys Season 5 follow.

Episode 6 left Butcher, Hughie, and the rest of the crew with a shocking and upsetting twist: Soldier Boy has given Homelander V-One. As the series’ superpowered antagonist shot his laser eyes into the sky, it seemed clear that the good guys are at least going to need to tweak their super virus plan, if not come up with a new one entirely.

The Boys Season 5, Episode 7 teaser trailer picks right up where it left off, with Hughie seemingly ready to admit defeat as he says, “It’s over. We lost.” As quick cuts tease the return of Sheline and Dogknott, we also get a glimpse of the Gen V reunion viewers have been waiting for.

The college-aged superheroes were previously poised to be major players in the universe going forward when we last saw them in Gen V Season 2. Most of the spinoff’s cast has been almost totally absent, leaving fans to wonder if Kripke and crew had other plans in store. Now, we know that at least the blood-bending Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair) and the body-swapping Jordan Li (London Thor/Derek Luh) will have some role to play as The Boys comes to an end.

Finally, the episode teaser trailer leaves off with a menacing shot of Homelander in the Oval Office of the White House. What he’s doing there remains to be seen, but we can probably guess that he’s feeling especially godlike after finally nabbing that V-One.

The Boys Season 5, Episode 7 will premiere on Prime Video this Wednesday, May 13. While we wait to see how it will prep audiences for an especially theatrical finale, you can read about the recent cancellation of Gen V. You can also see how Kripke reacted after the show managed to accidentally predict events in the real world yet again.

Finally, be sure to read IGN’s 8/10 Episode 6 review. We said at the time, “Though the dramatic climax doesn’t entirely land, The Boys Season 5, Episode 6 nonetheless delivers a proper blend of humor, violence, and dramatic pathos.”
