The final season of The Boys is in full swing, and it is already giving us plenty of drama, action, and uncertainty. One beloved character met their untimely end in the first episode of The Boys Season 5, but what other surprises are coming our way? The Boys cast has hinted that there are some serious “Oh Shit” moments coming before the end of Season 5.

During a recent interview, Nathan Mitchell (Black Noir) and Colby Minifie (Ashley) were asked about how they expect people to react to upcoming scenes in the series. Minifie initially said, “’Heart dropping’ is a good one,” before adding that she expects people to say “Oh shit!” at some of the upcoming twists.

Of course, neither actor was willing to say what those twists were because, you know, spoilers, but the Black Noir actor did hint that there would be something unlike anything we’ve seen before coming before The Boys Season 5 ends. “I’m thinking of a particular scene. It’s definitely going to be the first time you’ve ever seen anything like it on television. You’re just going to be like, ‘Wow, I didn’t know, I didn’t know that could happen. I don’t understand the physics of that.’”

Those are bold words for those of us who have followed The Boys since its first season. We’ve watched whales get impaled, Homelander breastfeeding, and multiple penis-based fatalities. Telling us we’re going to see something we’ve never seen before sets the bar pretty high.

The Boys Season 5 is currently airing on Prime Video. From the sounds of it, the final season is definitely going out with a bang.

They are brash, unforgiving, and a little rough around the edges... and they're the good guys! The heroes of Prime Video's The Boys, led by Karl Urban's Butcher, go up against the 'superheroes' that is the Seven, led by Anthony Starr's Homelander, leader of the Seven. With that show's five seasons plus spinoffs such as Gen V, Diabolical, and reportedly more, there's a lot to the Boys Franchise, and we're here to help... with:
