Jack Quaid Reflects on The Boys Season 5 and Why It's the Perfect Time to End
As the anticipation builds for the final season of The Boys in 2025, Jack Quaid, who plays Hughie Campbell, has shared his thoughts on why the show’s conclusion is coming at just the right time. Having been part of the chaotic and gritty world of The Boys for four intense seasons, Quaid seems ready for the show to wrap up its story, and his reasons are grounded in creative integrity and the show's narrative trajectory.
Quaid recently opened up about the end of the series in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter . He explained that the fifth season marks the right time for the show to conclude, not because of external pressures or cancellations, but because it was always the plan. “It’s good that we end with Season 5 because we’re ending on our own terms. It’s not like someone canceled us, and we’re trying to quickly make a season that feels final. This was always the showrunner’s intention, and I’ve actually known that for a little bit,” he said. This perspective is refreshing, as many shows in recent years have ended abruptly, leaving fans with unsatisfying conclusions or unresolved plotlines. For The Boys , fans can expect a carefully crafted ending, knowing that the team had this moment in mind all along.

In discussing the show’s finale, Quaid emphasized the intentionality behind it. “It’s going to be crazy. It’s going to be very messy,” he teased. And he’s not wrong— The Boys is known for its violent, unpredictable twists, and Season 5 promises to deliver even more of that high-stakes, blood-splattered action that fans have come to expect. Quaid even joked about the probability of many characters meeting their grisly fate, adding, “I just keep thinking a lot of us are probably gonna die. It’s just going to be insane, and I’m excited to see what that entails.” It’s clear that he’s not just saying goodbye to Hughie, but embracing the wild ride that the series’ ending will surely provide.
Quaid’s comments also reflect his broader acceptance of change. Despite his deep connection to Hughie, he understands the importance of giving a show a dignified exit. While it may be bittersweet for fans, the show’s planned conclusion ensures that the creators can tell the story they intended, without having to stretch things out unnecessarily.
Beyond The Boys , Quaid is staying busy with other exciting projects. He’s been involved in several offbeat films between seasons of The Boys , and he’s clearly ready for new challenges. However, the legacy of The Boys will likely stay with him for a long time. The universe of The Boys might be ending with the fifth season, but as Quaid points out, it’s not disappearing entirely. With spinoffs like Gen V , The Boys: Mexico , and a prequel about Soldier Boy and Stormfront, the Boys franchise will continue to thrive, offering fans more stories set in this dark, chaotic world.
In the end, Quaid’s willingness to embrace the show’s conclusion on its own terms speaks to the maturity and professionalism of an actor who’s been part of one of the most groundbreaking superhero series of recent years. Fans may be sad to say goodbye to their favorite characters, but with the promise of an epic finale and the continued expansion of the universe, the legacy of The Boys will live on for quite some time.
