The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke says The Boys: Mexico will take place in the aftermath of The Boys series finale.

Warning: Spoilers for The Boys season 5 episode 8 below!

"It's still a super-fun world, and I think the point we were trying to make at the end is nothing is just perfect and happily ever after," Kripke told Rolling Stone. "Now you have all these loose Supes running around that Vought isn’t taking responsibility for anymore. And there’s problems to solve. There's always gonna be problems to solve. If you pull your loved ones tight and take care of each other, you can have a happy ending."

At the end of the finale, Annie and Hughie are still committed to taking down rogue Supes... despite embarking on a new adventure away from the Boys now that Homelander is finally dead. Now that Vought is in shambles and the new President is trying (and presumably failing) to get all the Supes in order... anything can happen.

It was announced back in 2023 that a spin-off titled The Boys: Mexico, starring Diego Luna and executive-produced Gael Garcia Bernal, was in the works. Interestingly enough, this spin-off was announced well before the Soldier Boy-led Vought Rising prequel spin-off... though that one already has a teaser trailer and release date. We don't know too much about The Boys: Mexico, other than that it'll take place in a post-Homelander world and have a Mexican-led cast.

The Boys season 5 is airing now in its entirety on Prime Video. Check out our The Boys season 5 episode 8 recap for a closer look at the finale, or look ahead to the best new TV shows still to come in 2026.
