Jack Quaid is back to remind us that The Boys is not for the faint of heart—or the easily nauseated. The 32-year-old actor, who plays everyone’s favorite reluctant superhero babysitter, Hughie Campbell, is gearing up for the fifth and final season of Prime Video’s hit show. And, as expected, things are about to get bloodier than a vampire’s meal prep.
While we’re all impatiently waiting for an official premiere date (seriously, Prime Video, drop it already), Jack is throwing us a bone—a very, very messy, possibly severed one.
More Blood? Of Course, More Blood.
In a recent chat with Men’s Health (because apparently, even professional chaos-makers need abs), Jack teased what’s coming for Hughie:
“A lot more blood. The streak continues, of course,” he confirmed, which is great news for anyone whose idea of fun involves watching people explode like overfilled water balloons.
But it’s not just about the carnage! Hughie is apparently adulting this season. “It’s been really cool to play Hughie this season; the events of last season were really hard on him, but he has really grown up,” Jack revealed. Which is a nice way of saying, “He’s seen some sh*t.”
He added, “There’s a maturity to him this season that I don’t think we’ve seen before. He’s truly come into himself.” Translation: Hughie might finally stop running into fights like a guy who forgot he has no superpowers.
Major Deaths Incoming? Shocking.
If you thought The Boys was done emotionally wrecking you, think again! Show creator Eric Kripke has already confirmed that the final season will feature major deaths. And since this show’s idea of “major deaths” is literally anyone and everyone, you might want to emotionally detach from all your favorite characters now.
So, buckle up, wear a poncho (for safety reasons), and get ready for The Boys’ last, bloody, probably traumatic ride.
