Jack Quaidis gearing up for the final season ofThe Boys, and he promises it will be one of the most disturbing seasons of television ever created.The Boyskicked off in 2019 when Hughie’s (Quaid) girlfriend was (literally) destroyed by the speedy “superhero” A-Train (Jessie T. Usher), leading him to meet Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and join his mission for revenge against the supes. The show has already produced some incredibly shocking moments so far, but Quaid promises that Season 5 will be unlike anything audiences have ever seen.
Quaid recently sat down with Josh Horowitz on theHappy Sad Confusedpodcast to discuss his career.

The actor said he feels incredibly grateful that the series was given the chance to go out on its own terms, and he cannot wait for audiences to witness the diabolical shocks the team has in store for the finale:
“It is really cool that we get to have a Season 5, [a] final season. We’re ending it on our own terms. That’s such a gift in TV and I’m so excited to make probably one of the most f*cked up seasons of television that ever existed.”

“I read the script, and I was like, ‘This is awesome.’ I didn’t realize it was based off a comic book, initially. I thought he basically just wrote a script about America and put superheroes into it. And then I did my research, and I was like, ‘Oh, it’s this whole series of books.'”
Quaid had nothing but praise forThe Boys, going so far as to say that, even if he was never cast, he would desperately fight just to be a background extra in the series.The BoysSeason 4 finale aired this week, setting the stakes for the fifth and final season.
