From date nights to solo resets and chaotic nights out, the Klang Valley is stacked this weekend (22–24 May). Whether you’re in the mood for laughs, movement, music, or a wholesome wander, here are our Hype picks for what’s worth leaving the house for.
Comedy Mixtape Vol. 46
Sat, 23 May • 9PM • Kedai KL (Mahsa Avenue)
If your week has been… a lot, this is your sign to laugh it off. Comedy Mixtape Vol. 46 brings open-mic chaos, retro mixtape energy, and a reliably solid lineup of local comics. Expect punchlines that hit, bits that maybe don’t (that’s the fun of it), and a crowd that’s just here for a good time.
It’s intimate, a little unpredictable, and exactly the kind of night that turns into “one more drink” after the show.
Photo Expo: Play Ball & Birth of a Ballgame
Fri, 22 May • From 12:30PM • Mexican Embassy, KL
A slower, more thoughtful pick for your weekend: this photographic exhibition dives into ancient Mesoamerican ballgames — think history, culture, and stunning visuals all in one space.
It’s niche in the best way, and perfect if you’re in the mood to wander, learn something new, and feel just a little bit cultured before heading back to your usual plans.
The Lessons of Silence (KL festival)
Fri – Sat, 22 – 23 May • 8:30PM • The Godown KL
This one’s not light viewing; but it is powerful. This Indonesian production strips dialogue away completely, telling a tense story of survival, race, and class through pure movement and expression.
It’s raw, intimate, and quietly devastating. If you like theatre that lingers with you long after the lights go up, this is the show to catch.
Sunny Side Up Market
Fri – Sun 22–24 May • 11AM–10PM • The Campus Ampang
Weekend markets, but make it meaningful. Sunny Side Up returns with over 40 women-led brands, bringing everything from handmade accessories to artisanal snacks and wellness finds.
It’s the kind of place where you go “just to browse” and leave with three bags and a new favourite local brand. Come hungry, come curious, and bring a friend who loves a good wander.
South Asian Gaelic Games + Afterparty
Sat, 23 May • Bukit Kiara (Games) + Healy Mac’s Changkat (Afterparty)
Sport by day, party by night. The South Asian Gaelic Games take over Bukit Kiara with a full day of matches, food vendors, and community vibes. Even if you don’t know the rules, the energy is enough to pull you in.
Then, it’s straight to Healy Mac’s Changkat for the official afterparty. Think cold drinks, loud music, and that post-game buzz that turns strangers into friends.
NEVER STAND STILL
Fri – Sun 22–24 May • KongsiKL
Contemporary dance, but make it immersive. Zulkarnain Zuber’s NEVER STAND STILL brings together four interconnected works exploring movement, stillness, and everything in between.
It’s expressive, a little abstract, and visually striking — ideal if you’re craving something artistic that doesn’t feel static. Go in open-minded and let the performances do the talking.
Whatever your vibe — chaotic, chill, cultured, or somewhere in between — this weekend’s looking like a good one. The only real question is: how many plans can you realistically fit in?
CHART HER COURSE
Immersive experience by Lightbeam for MISC
Ending the list on something a little different. CHART HER COURSE is an immersive experience designed to inspire more young women in Malaysia to consider careers at sea — and it does so in a way that feels fresh, thoughtful, and visually striking.
Brought to life by the WeAreKix crew, the experience blends storytelling, design, and tech to spotlight possibilities beyond the usual career paths. It’s purposeful, inspiring, and a reminder that sometimes the coolest experiences are the ones that shift your perspective entirely.
Whatever your vibe– chaotic, chill, cultured, or somewhere in between– this weekend’s looking like a good one. The only real question is: how many plans can you realistically fit in?

W Kuala Lumpur announces an exclusive new collaboration with iconic Parisian maison Fauré Le Page, introducing “Carry the Art. Live the W”; a multi-sensory luxury partnership that brings together fashion, design and immersive hospitality through the lens of the W Experience: Taste, Scene and Luxury, Liberated. The collaboration inspired by Fauré Le Page’s Spring–Summer 2026 Parisian story, a season that captures the rhythm of the city, from luminous architecture to lively cafés, reinterpreted through W Kuala Lumpur’s bold, contemporary energy.
The partnership officially debuts with an exclusive preview at the Living Room, unveiling “A Spring in Paris,” the first chapter of Fauré Le Page’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection. Inspired by the timeless romance, architecture and luminous elegance of Paris, the collection reflects the Maison’s free, chic and playful spirit while celebrating the city’s social art of living.
SOURCES: W KUALA LUMPUR
At the centre of the collection is Saint-Honoré Beige, a soft golden hue inspired by the pale limestone façades of Parisian streets, reimagined across the Maison’s signature hand-screened Scale Canvas, meticulously crafted in Annecy, France. Set within the vibrant social energy of W Kuala Lumpur’s Living Room, the launch transforms a traditional presentation into an immersive encounter where luxury is not only seen, but felt.
“At W Kuala Lumpur, we are constantly seeking partnerships that ignite emotion and create experiences guests cannot find anywhere else. Fauré Le Page represents a rare kind of luxury, which is rooted in heritage, artistry and fearless individuality. Together, we are creating something sensual, stylish and unforgettable, where every detail invites our guests not just to witness luxury, but to live inside it,” said Volker Burth, General Manager, W Kuala Lumpur.
A Legacy of French Artistry
SOURCES: W KUALA LUMPUR
The collaboration will also pay tribute to the remarkable heritage of Fauré Le Page, whose story began in the early 18th century in the heart of Paris. For seven generations, the family established itself as master gunsmiths to kings and princes, creating objects so beautifully crafted they became symbols of prestige as much as function.
Within its historic ateliers, artisans perfected the art of transforming noble materials into exceptional creations, earning commissions, medals and royal recognition. Over time, Fauré LePage evolved beyond weaponry to become a true expression of French art de vivre, craftsmanship and timeless luxury, which are values that resonate seamlessly with W’s contemporary vision of liberated luxury.
“Fauré Le Page has always celebrated the art of travel and self-expression, and our collaboration with W Kuala Lumpur allows us to reimagine that spirit in a way that feels immersive, personal and unexpectedly modern. Together, we are creating a journey where Parisian heritage meets the vibrant pulse of contemporary luxury,” added Franck Collin, General Manager, Fauré Le Page.
A Curated Journey Through Taste & Scene
SOURCES: W KUALA LUMPUR
As part of the collaboration, guests can indulge in a French-inspired Afternoon Tea experience at the hotel’s Living Room, complementing the existing Veuve Clicquot Pop-Up Café concept. Designed to reflect the spirit of Parisian café culture, the offering blends refined pastries, savoury creations and artisanal details inspired by Fauré Le Page’s heritage.
Availability: 1st June – 27th September 2026
Price: RM88 per person (Weekdays) or RM128 per person (Weekends)
The experience invites guests to immerse themselves in a world where fashion meets flavour, a signature expression of W’s passion for Taste.
Marriott Bonvoy Exclusive Redemption Experiences
SOURCES: W KUALA LUMPUR
For a select circle of Marriott Bonvoy members, the collaboration unfolds beyond the stay itself through a collection of bespoke privileges designed to deepen the sense of exclusivity; from an indulgent champagne or coffee & croissant experience at the Fauré Le Page boutique in Suria KLCC, to private boutique tours personally hosted by the Fauré Le Page team, alongside a complimentary Fauré Le Page medal with handbag purchases of RM7,000 and above.
Upon arrival, guests will be presented with an exclusive invitation card at check-in, unlocking one of only 150 individually serialised redemption experiences, curated to deliver a seamless and distinctly personalised luxury journey.
Timeless Elegance, Delivered In-Suite
SOURCES: W KUALA LUMPUR
Taking the collaboration to the next level, W Kuala Lumpur brings Fauré Le Page directly into the guest experience with an exclusive in-room concierge service, inviting guests to pre-book private appointments to discover and shop signature pieces from the comfort of their suite.
For elite and VIP guests, the experience becomes even more elevated with the choice of a private boutique tour hosted by our team or an intimate private collection viewing within their own space, making it a bold expression of personalised luxury where iconic Parisian craftsmanship meets the unmistakable energy of W.
Rooted in the brand’s Whatever/Whenever service philosophy, every detail is designed to feel instinctive, effortless and deeply personal, transforming each stay into a seamless extension of the guest’s lifestyle. Available through the W Insider or pre-arrival touchpoints, each experience will be curated with your representative 48 hours in advance to ensure every moment feels exclusive, unexpected and distinctly W.

Earlier this week, news outlets reported that the Seoul Gangnam Police Station had applied for an arrest warrant for YouTuber Kim Se Ui (김세의) of Garosero Institute (가로세로연구소) for defamation. The police alleged that the YouTuber, along with Kim Saeron’s family, had spread false information about Kim Soohyun with the intent to slander him.
SOURCES: TWITTER (@pannchoa & @pannatic)
Along with this arrest warrant application, the police also issued their conclusion on the investigation into Kim Soohyun. To recap, Kim Saeron’s family previously accused the actor of having an intimate relationship with the late actress when she was a minor. The family also shared private photos of the pair, allegedly taken when Kim Saeron was underage.
However, the authorities have recently concluded that Kim Soohyun didn’t date Kim Saeron when she was a minor, claiming that the alleged evidence, including past text messages, had been fabricated. The police also believe that Kim Se Ui and Kim Saeron’s family used artificial intelligence (AI) technology to manipulate voice files of the late star to accuse the actor.
Unsurprisingly, this conclusion sparked negative reactions, with netizens pointing out evidence of Kim Soohyun’s guilt. Some argued that various photos show the pair were at least acquainted when Kim Saeron was a minor, suggesting that Kim Soohyun had groomed the actress since she was a teenager.
The conclusion also prompted a discussion about the many times Kim Soohyun has expressed inappropriate interest towards younger stars. Among the examples listed were the actor saying he would like to play Kim Yoojung’s (김유정) on-screen partner when she was only 13 and telling gymnast Son Yeonjae (손연재) he’s interested in dating her when she was 16 years old.
Despite the police’s conclusion, many said they believe Kim Soohyun is guilty and will continue to boycott his works. What are your thoughts on this?
The Perak-state Government is in the process of designing a programme that focuses on the emotional management aspects of mothers who are experiencing ‘burnout’ or exhaustion.
The Chairman of the Perak Women, Family, Social Welfare, Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Committee, Datuk Salbiah Mohamed shared that this step was taken in light of data obtained through a study conducted by Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM).
“Mothers in Perak who experience burnout may be due to factors such as working while at the same time, playing the role of a mother,”
“The feeling of guilt of not being able to fulfil all responsibilities may be a factor in their burnout. This view is somewhat supported by the research we conducted,” she said.
Mothers are important for development
In regards to this, Datuk Salbiah revealed that the Perak-state Government is looking at partnering with entities including NGOs to create programmes on emotional management and more, in addition to Naungan Kasih, a family strengthening programme that uses digital tools, in-person sessions and remote support to help parents nurture their children’s development and wellbeing.
Utusan Malaysia
“That is what we are trying to do because when these mothers are well cared for emotionally and physically, we can reduce the social problems in the state of Perak. It will also enable us to develop Perak according to the mould we want to shape,” she added.
She went on to explain that mothers are the heart that generates development in the state, therefore mothers should be valued by all parties.
“Without the upbringing of a mother who educates her children, how is it possible for Perak to develop well?”
It’s no surprise that celebrities can easily drop millions for a rare, collectable item. Recently, Jay Chou (周杰倫) revealed he has successfully bid for a painting by famed artist Henri Matisse, with a price tag that shocked netizens.
On 20th May 2026 (Wednesday), the Mandopop icon shared on his Instagram a painting by Henri Matisse, titled “The Morning Session”. In his post, Jay spoke fondly about the artist, showing admiration for his work. The singer also mentioned that he once dreamed about being able to collect one of Henri Matisse’s paintings, before revealing that his dream had come true.
According to reports, the 47-year-old recently purchased “The Morning Session”, known in French as “La Séance du matin”, through an auction by Sotheby’s. The auction house’s website shows that the painting, executed in 1924, was officially sold on Wednesday morning for a whopping US$20 million (approximately RM79.38 million).
Many friends and fans have reacted to Jay’s successful bid, congratulating him on the latest addition to his art collection. For those unaware, the star is an avid art collector and also references renowned artworks in his music. His “Children Of The Sun” music video included several references, including James McNeill Whistler’s “Whistler’s Mother”.
Most of Jay’s collections are displayed at his main residence in Taiwan. Besides the Henri Matisse painting, the singer also owns several artworks from Picasso and Basquiat. Funnily enough, Jay once said in a CNN interview, “I’ve spent almost all my earnings from my concerts on artworks”.
Considering how much he paid for the Henri Matisse artwork, it seems Jay will have to hold more concerts if he wants to continue expanding his expensive collection. What are your thoughts on this?
OPPO Malaysia and Tourism Malaysia have officially unveiled Rediscovering Malaysia Through the Lens, a photography initiative aimed at rediscovering untapped destinations in Malaysia that are worth exploring for both tourists and locals alike. Whether it’s a destination or an intangible cultural heritage, these beautiful hidden gems will be showcased through the lens of OPPO Studio.
The campaign is a local adaptation of OPPO’s continued commitment to visual storytelling and cultural documentation in Culture in a Shot, and it marks another significant effort in the brand’s local efforts in leveraging technology to amplify Malaysia’s position as a premier travel destination. The campaign was officially formalised as part of under the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign, with the presence of senior representatives, Monica Chin, Chief Marketing Officer of OPPO Malaysia, Director General of Tourism Malaysia, Mohd Amirul Rizal Abdul Rahim, and Deputy Director of the Corporate Communications Division at Tourism Malaysia, Pn Norshariza Mohd Saad.
OPPO Malaysia
“Every picture tells a story, and Malaysia – a country that has long stood at the crossroads of culture – has no shortage of places worth seeing. At OPPO, we believe in the power of imaging to preserve culture and bring destinations to life. With the help of Tourism Malaysia, we are proud to be able to photograph the stories, places, and the natural beauty of this country, and hope to inspire the world to experience Malaysia for themselves,” said Monica Chin, Chief Marketing Officer, OPPO Malaysia.
The campaign launches with a dedicated Photowalk Trip to Kelantan, organised with Tourism Malaysia, where photographers and creators will go on a journey to document some of the state's most striking natural scenery — including Jelawang Waterfall, the tallest waterfall in Southeast Asia. The expedition marks the first chapter of a year-long series of photography journeys across Malaysia, with the OPPO Find X9 Ultra serving as the primary imaging tool throughout.

Purpose-built for photography at the highest level, the OPPO Find X9 Ultra features a Hasselblad-tuned triple periscope camera system, a large-format primary sensor, and advanced computational photography capabilities. These features are among many that help deliver exceptional clarity across a wide range of shooting conditions — from sweeping natural landscapes to intricate detail work.
Imagery from the Kelantan photowalk and subsequent campaign journeys will be amplified across OPPO Malaysia’s official channels, with select works featured on OPPO’s global lock screen platform — extending Malaysia’s reach to an international audience of millions.

Rediscovering Malaysia Through the Lens is a year-long photography campaign by OPPO Malaysia that brings Malaysia’s most remarkable landscapes and cultural destinations to global audiences, as wallpapers and lock screens captured exclusively using OPPO smartphones.
Conducted with Tourism Malaysia, the partnership builds on OPPO Malaysia’s growing track record as a platform for cultural storytelling in Malaysia — from the #OPPOMalaysiaThroughTheLens Coffee Table Book, which documented five fading traditional Malaysian art forms, to Culture in a Shot, the brand’s globally recognised initiative with Discovery, spanning cultural heritage across more than 15 countries.
Rediscovering Malaysia Through the Lens deepens the brand’s appreciation for cultural heritage, framing Malaysia not just for preservation, but for the world.
It all built up to this. After five seasons of depravity, corporate satire, and relentless bloodshed (and MEMES, don’t forget the memes), Prime Video’s “The Boys” has officially drawn to a close! Heading into the series finale, fans were anxious to see how the show would stick the landing and just how the final battle with Homelander would play out.
Unlike other slow-burn genre hits, “The Boys” has never had a problem killing off characters. The show proved this by delivering its hardest-hitting blow yet in the penultimate episode, where Frenchie made the ultimate sacrifice to protect Kimiko and Sister Sage from Homelander’s wrath. Driven by grief, the remaining Boys entered the finale with everything to lose and a burning incentive to finally put a stop to Homelander’s reign of terror once and for all.
Source: Prime Video
Here is exactly how the chaotic and brutal series finale of “The Boys” unfolded. Spoilers follow, of course, so, proceed at your own risk.
Unlocking Kimiko’s New Weapon
The finale picks up in the somber aftermath of Frenchie’s death, with Hughie, Butcher, Mother’s Milk, and Kimiko burying their late friend. Kimiko has been rendered mute by the trauma, and early signs suggest that Sister Sage’s master plan—subjecting Kimiko to radiation to mimic Soldier Boy’s power-neutralizing chest blasts—has failed.
Before the final assault, the small bunch of “Gen V” characters are safely sidelined. Starlight prepares to send Marie, Emma, and Jordan to Canada to shepherd a group of Starlighters to safety. In a passing of the torch, Starlight reminds Marie to never lose the urge to fight, thanking her for being an “annoying little shit” before the young heroes head north.

Back at the safe house, the emotional breakthrough the team needs arrives via cruel provocation. Sister Sage callously equates Frenchie to a loyal lapdog who threw his life away. The comment triggers a profound, defensive rage within Kimiko, causing her to accidentally unleash a blinding energy beam from her chest. The blast hits Sage, immediately burning away her supe abilities and rendering her human. Butcher confesses he put Sage up to the provocation, knowing the blast required pure, unadulterated emotion to activate.
With Sage out of the picture and heading to Orlando (to find Firecracker?) as a civilian, the roadmap becomes clearer. The Boys must infiltrate the White House, where a power-drunk Homelander is preparing a global address.

Homelander’s Final Rejections
Before taking the global stage at the White House for Easter, the cracks in Homelander’s god complex began to show through two pivotal, deeply revealing confrontations.
First, Homelander tracks down Ryan at a secluded cabin, attempting one last time to pull his son back into the Vought fold. In a desperate bid for connection, Homelander tries to convince the boy that they are cut from the exact same cloth.
Source: Prime Video | Antony Starr as Homelander and Cameron Crovetti as Ryan, in “The Boys” Season 5
Ryan, however, completely shuts him down. In a blistering reality check, Ryan tells his father that he is nothing like him, pointing out that accumulating more power will only make him more isolated. Ryan cuts straight to the bone, telling Homelander that scaring people into calling him a “god” doesn’t actually make him one and that deep down, Homelander is terrified because he knows it’s true. Rejected and visibly shaken, Homelander leaves his son behind.
Back inside the corridors of power, a desperate Homelander begins cutting away any dead weight in his inner circle. When corporate billionaire backers request terms before pledging their allegiance, Homelander flies the wealthy mogul directly into space, leaving him to suffocate before returning to Earth to prove he answers to no one.
Source: Prime Video | Antony Starr as Homelander and Chace Crawford as The Deep in “The Boys”
It’s here that The Deep steps up, desperately offering his unwavering assistance in hopes of finally gaining validation. Instead, Homelander delivers a psychological death blow. He coldly informs The Deep that the only reason he hasn’t killed him yet is because he wants him alive to feel just how truly worthless and pathetic he really is. With his ego shattered, The Deep is left to grovel, while Homelander commands “Oh Father” to prep the psychics to execute anyone who refuses to bow the second the live broadcast ends.
Chaos In the Oval Office
As Homelander takes the stage to address the United States and the world, he goes completely off-script. Declaring himself the “Second Coming” and an absolute god, he threatens a horrific, immediate purge via an army of psychics against anyone who fails to pledge their allegiance.

Deep in the White House tunnels, The Boys find themselves trapped by a security lockdown as gunfire rains down. Their salvation, however, comes from an unlikely source. It’s Ashley Barrett. Sneaking away from her security detail with the psychic guidance of Bashley, the malignant face in the back of her head. Ashley frees Butcher and the gang from the cages, pointing them toward Homelander before fleeing.
The finale’s climax quickly fractures into two separate battlegrounds as they find The Deep moping around near the Oval Office. Starlight quickly takes this as her fight and flies him off to a nearby beach, where they battle. He’s desperate to kill her to prove his worth to Homelander. Instead, Starlight hits him with a powerful light beam that sends him flying into the ocean. There, the local marine life turns on him, mauling him to death as retribution for his past ‘ecological crimes’. So, Noir somehow got his revenge from beyond the grave.

Back in the presidential building, Oh Father corners Hughie and Mother’s Milk. Just as Oh Father prepares a lethal attack, Mother’s Milk shoves a ball gag into his mouth. When Oh Father tries to trigger his signature supersonic boom, the sound waves backfire, causing his own head to explode.
The Fall of Homelander

Inside the Oval Office, the final showdown officially begins. Butcher and a newly arrived Ryan tag-team Homelander, but the plan hinges on Kimiko using her radioactive blast to level the playing field. However, when Kimiko steps up, sadness replaces the rage she is supposed to tap into, causing her to freeze.
In a poignant vision, Frenchie appears to her one last time. He assures her that hatred isn’t what makes her strong, holding his hand to her heart and reminding her that it has always been her love that gives her power. Channeling Frenchie’s memory, Kimiko unleashes a cataclysmic blast that knocks out Homelander, Ryan, and Butcher simultaneously.

Butcher regains consciousness first and discovers that the experiment worked perfectly: Homelander has been stripped of his powers. Stunned to find himself entirely human, the world’s greatest monster begs for his life on a live global broadcast. Showing no mercy, Butcher grabs a crowbar and drives it directly into Homelander’s forehead, cracking his skull and ending his reign of terror for good.
Butcher’s Final Crusade
The death of Homelander leaves an immediate vacuum. While Vought strips the newly impeached Ashley Barrett of her executive power, corporate titan Stan Edgar exploits the chaos and announces his triumphant return to Vought.

Butcher, however, is not finished. After returning to the safe house and discovering his beloved dog Terror has passed away from old age, Butcher decides that killing Homelander isn’t enough. Consumed by a scorched-earth philosophy, he steals the supe virus and heads straight for Vought Headquarters, intending to dump it into the main sprinkler system to eradicate every single supe across all 99 floors.
Hughie tracks him to the building, pleading with him to accept that they have already won. Butcher remains adamant that total genocide is the only true victory, leading to a desperate struggle. When Butcher freezes before pulling the trigger to release the virus, Hughie does the unthinkable and shoots his mentor several times in the abdomen. In his final moments, Butcher commends Hughie for always staying true to himself despite the horror they’ve endured, before succumbing to his injuries.

Stan Edgar: Survived the political fallout and successfully reclaimed his throne at Vought.
One Happy Ending
Unlike previous seasons that still had an air of dread in them, this time, the series closes with a rare, peaceful flash-forward. The remaining Boys gather one last time at Butcher’s grave to say goodbye before parting ways to heal.

Mother’s Milk rebuilds his family, celebrating a renewal of his vows. Ryan is also adopted by him. Kimiko honors the dream she shared with Frenchie, moving to Paris and adopting a dog just as they had always wanted.
As for Hughie and Annie, the cycle of violence has finally been broken. President Bob Singer calls Hughie to offer him the leadership of the Bureau of Supe Control, but Hughie firmly turns it down. Instead, he chooses a quiet, normal life running his late father’s electronics repair shop. The final moments reveal that he and Annie are expecting a child together (named Robin as a tribute to his previous partner), giving “The Boys” a genuinely hopeful, well-deserved happy ending.

What’s Next for the “Vought Cinematic Universe”?
The flagship series has drawn to a peaceful close. However, Prime Video has no intention of letting its highly lucrative “Vought Cinematic Universe” fly into the sunset. Multiple projects are already in the works for this universe. And these new stories will explore both the dark origins of Vought International and fresh, international corners of the franchise.
Sure, the college-set spinoff “Gen V” officially got cancelled and will not return for a Season 3.However, producers have explicitly assured fans that the surviving characters from Godolkin University will continue to transition and appear in future projects across the franchise. And since we saw Marie, Jordan, and Sam ride off to Canada, they’ll most certainly show up in the future. Just where and when? We don’t know yet.
The biggest and most anticipated confirmed project is the prequel series “Vought Rising”.
Set in the mid-1950s, the upcoming prequel will delve deep into the earliest days of Vought’s supe experimentation. It explores the dark origins of Compound V. Fans will see Jensen Ackles return as Soldier Boy in his prime. Alongside him, Aya Cash will reprise her role as Clara Vought. This is years before she became known as Stormfront or Liberty. Besides, it will also introduce and reintroduce characters like Bombsight, Torpedo, and Private Angel in this series. So, stay tuned.

Showrunner Eric Kripke has described the series as a “really graphic, really profane” twisted murder mystery. The series wrapped principal photography in early 2026 and fans will not have to wait too long. It is currently slated for a 2027 debut on Prime Video.
Another major expansion currently in active development is “The Boys: Mexico”. Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna will executive produce the new series with a Mexican-led cast that would take place in a post-Homelander world.
According to Kripke, the script explores the chaotic power vacuum left behind by the main series. It tracks the “loose supes” running around the world. Vought stubbornly refuses to take any responsibility for them. While a pilot script is being finalized, a formal release date has not yet been locked in.
So, there we have it, folks. “The Boys” has genuinely ended after seven years of absolute, blood-soaked madness. It is genuinely surreal to realize we are finally living in a world where Homelander isn’t lasers-a-day away from a total mental breakdown and Billy Butcher isn’t aggressively calling people his favorite word.
And of course, the memes. What are we going to do without our meme generator now? Truly a legend.
All episodes of “The Boys” are currently streaming on Prime Video.
