Oi, it's time to start counting down to the end of The Boys. One of the most popular Prime Video shows of all-time is set to draw to a close with its fifth and final season. And, if you're anything like me, you've been keenly awaiting its arrival since last season ended.

There won't just be one episode to enjoy on launch day, either. Indeed, The Boys season 5's first two chapters will drop simultaneously when the R-rated TV series returns. When will that be? I'm glad you asked — read on for those diabolically all-important details.

As long as Amazon doesn't do what it did with Fallout season 2's first and last installments, and release The Boys season 5's first pair of episodes early in the Americas, they'll come out on the aforementioned date worldwide.

Of course, Amazon could make a last-minute decision to air them on the evening of April 7 in North and South America. If that happens, I'll update the dates and times listed below. For the time being, here's when they should drop on one of the world's best streaming services:

  • US — Wednesday, April 8 at 12am PT / 3am ET
  • Canada — Wednesday, April 8 at 12am PT / 3am ET
  • UK — Wednesday, April 8 at 8am
