The final season sees Hughie (Jack Quaid), Mother's Milk (Laz Alonso) and Frenchie (Tomer Capone) locked up in a Freedom Camp as Homelander (Antony Starr) takes control.

Milly Alcock takes on the role of Supergirl, who was first introduced at the end of Gunn's 2025 blockbuster Superman. The film, based on the comic book Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and Bilquis Evely, follows Kara Zor-El on a journey through space as she grapples with the destruction of her home planet Krypton, with partying and booze. Jason Momoa also stars in the film as Lobo, an intergalactic bounty hunter who rides a big motorcycle and has an even bigger mouth.
