The Boys has officially come to an end, with the series finale to Prime Video’s superhero hit arriving on Wednesday. And in celebration, the cast and creative team united on Tuesday evening to ride into the sunset together.
Creator Eric Kripke was joined by series stars including Chace Crawford, Erin Moriarty, Laz Alonso, Karen Fukuhara, Jensen Ackles and Daveed Diggs at the L.A. finale event, though leads Karl Urban, Jack Quaid and Antony Starr were not in attendance.
On the red carpet, Kripke opened up about the end of The Boys era — which, spoiler, saw some major deaths in Homelander, Billy Butcher and The Deep — as he explained that he had some of the main characters’ journeys plotted as far back at the pilot episode.
“I want everyone to love it, it’s not fun to go online and have like a thousand comments in a row saying ‘You suck, you suck, you suck, you suck,’ but I’ve sort of made peace with it’s going to be polarized like everything else,” the creator said of his anticipated fan reaction to the finale, after dealing with online backlash all season. “A showrunner said to me a week or two ago, which I really liked, he said, ‘Your job is to get an emotional reaction out of people, not exactly what that reaction is,’ and I liked that a lot. So if people love it, if they hate it, as long as they’re feeling emotion then I’ve done my job.”
