The Boys’ series finale to debut in theaters ahead of its Amazon release.

Amazon has revealed that the series finale of The Boys will hit theaters a day before it streams online. This dark superhero saga, created by Eric Kripke and based on the comics by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, is gearing up for a thrilling conclusion. As Homelander (Antony Starr) takes control of the U.S. government with his superpowered allies, viewers can expect a wave of shocking character deaths. The final episode, which wraps up the show’s five-season journey, will premiere in theaters on May 19, followed by its release on Prime Video on May 20.

This trend of bringing popular TV finales to the big screen is gaining traction. Recently, Netflix showcased the Stranger Things finale in theaters, while HBO screened the season 2 finale of The Pit at Alamo Drafthouse before its streaming release. Additionally, the animated hit The Amazing Digital Circus is set to debut its series finale in theaters this June. With theaters seeking to boost attendance and studios aiming to make their shows stand out, these one-night-only events are a perfect match.

Details about the “4DX” experience for The Boys finale screenings haven’t been fully disclosed yet. Typically, 4DX presentations include immersive elements like rumbling seats during intense action scenes and even bursts of air, water, or scents for the audience. Reactions to these experiences can vary widely. What might the finale of The Boys smell like in 4DX? Our guess is a mix of blood and ozone. We’ll find out on May 19.
