'This is the last time I'll ever be on this set. It'll be torn down soon. It's bittersweet, but my primary feeling is gratitude,' the EP shared. 'We have the best cast, the best crew, the most fun story to write, and something that is impossible to predict: the right timing. You wait your whole career to have maybe two of those things, if you're lucky. We got all of them. To #TheBoys family: thank you, I love you all. To the fans: thanks for watching, can't wait for you to see the grand finale. That's a wrap.'
Kripke's post was flooded by messages from the cast — including Jack Quaid, who commented: 'Love you dude. Thank you for literally everything.' Then there was Laz Alonso, who wrote, 'What a ride Krip! I can finally say I experienced lightning in a bottle,' while Valerie Curry said, 'Thank you for this once in a lifetime experience.'
Fellow cast member Erin Moriarty also marked the end of production with an Instagram post of her own, writing in part, 'The tears have begun…. I said goodbye to most of my work family today and I'll be ready to smile about it when I'm ready to smile about it. To my Boys fam: love you, c*nts. forever.'

On June 11, 2024, Kripke announced that The Boys would end with Season 5 — a final batch of episodes that will reunite Supernatural trio Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins.
'The truth is we knew that it was going to be a five-season story for years now,' Kripke told TVLine shortly after the final-season announcement. 'I mean, probably since writing the beginning of Season 3, we knew, and so we were already laying down track that was always heading in this direction. Honestly, [Amazon has] been great about letting us end it on our own terms. I'm really grateful.'
The Boys Season 5 does not yet have a release date, though it is expected to premiere in 2026. In the interim, college-set spinoff Gen V will return for Season 2 on Wednesday, Sept. 17.
As previously reported, Ackles and Aya Cash (who plays Stormfront) will headline the prequel spinoff Vought Rising. A Spanish-language spinoff set in Mexico City is also in development.

When 'Jurassic World Rebirth' Movie Will Be Available to Stream and How to Watch
You would think that the scientists of the Jurassic movies would've learned by now not to mess with the dinos, but when the fate of the world depends on it, then we guess there's a good reasons to step back into that abandoned island where they roam free. With possible cures and hidden secrets waiting to be unlocked, you're definitely going to want to join along for this ride. Ready to step back into the wild and crazy world where dinosaurs live amongst us? Here's everything you need to know about watching Jurassic World Rebirth. Due to the holiday weekend, Universal Pictures decided to forgo a normal Thursday/Friday release and went for a Wednesday release instead. Jurassic World Rebirth was officially released on July 2, 2025. The good thing is that it's pretty easy to catch Jurassic World Rebirth on the big screen. Since the film was just released, you can easily go to your local movie theater to check it out. Just make sure to check for showtimes before you go! Oh, and obviously try to grab a ticket ASAP since it won't be in theaters forever. We get it, you'd rather not watch the scary dinosaurs on a big screen. Unfortunately, it'll be a while before you can stream it at home. The good news is that you'll be able to catch it on Peacock if you're a subscriber! Until then, you can always catch the other films in the franchise there for now! If you're not subscribed to Peacock, you can still rent or buy it at home via online stores like Prime Video, iTunes, Fandango at Home, YouTube, or Google Play. Or if you're a huge fan, you'll also be able to buy it on Blu-ray and DVD!

Melissa Benoist and Chris Wood Played a Couple on ‘Supergirl,' Then Really Fell in Love
Actors Melissa Benoist (The Waterfront) and Chris Wood (The Vampire Diaries) may have begun as Supergirl co-stars, but they've since become so much more. From going public with their romantic relationship in 2017 to welcoming their first child together three years later, the couple has quickly achieved some pretty important milestones. Here's everything we know about their relationship history. Benoist and Wood first met on the set of her DC Comics series Supergirl, where she played the titular character, Kara Zor-El (a.k.a. Supergirl). Wood joined the cast in season 2 as Mon-El, Supergirl's love interest. Benoist and Wood were spotted vacationing together in Cancún, Mexico, on March 28, 2017. On June 10, 2018, the new couple made their red carpet debut at the 72nd Tony Awards at New York City's Radio City Music Hall. On February 10, 2019, Benoist announced their engagement via Instagram. She captioned the photo with a simple, 'yes yes yes it will always be yes♥️' The couple got married later that year, on Sept. 1, 2019. Over Labor Day Weekend, they held an intimate wedding ceremony in Ojai, California. Celebrity guests included Paul Wesley and fellow Supergirl actress Odette Annable. A source told E!, 'It was a beautiful setting for a wedding, very peaceful and quiet. The vows were brief and lasted about 15 minutes. There was lots of cheering and applause as it ended.' The source continued, 'There were lots of glowing candles and lights strung above. The food was served family style, and everyone passed the dishes back and forth. It looked like an elegant outdoor dinner party. There was a lot of laughter and happiness.' Later that month, the newly married couple attended the Saturn Awards. On Nov. 15, 2019, Benoist posted an intimate wedding photo of her and Wood embracing with the caption, 'I'm always going to remember looking at you every five minutes on this day knowing both of us were thinking 'how in the world did we get so lucky?' I still don't understand how, but you prove to me every day that I'm one of the damn luckiest out there.' She also included a Dior tag on her white gown. On March 4, 2020, Benoist announced that they were expecting their first child together, writing, 'A non-canine child is coming to our family very soon!!! 😱😆😭 @christophrwood has always been an old dad by nature but now he's going to be a real one!' Wood also posted his own announcement that leaned more on the comical side. In the photo, Benoist is shown caressing his fake pregnant belly. He wrote, 'The photo is a joke but the news is real...!!! 👶🏻🍼🤗.' Later that month on March 20, Wood announced that they were having a boy. He posted a photo of his New Balance sneaker next to a much tinier one. 'My little boy is gonna rock 990s just like his dad, and that makes the world feel a little less sad today,' he shared. On Sept. 25, 2020, Benoist shared the first photo of their baby boy, Huxley Robert Wood. In her caption, she wrote that he was born 'a few weeks ago' and that he was 'everything.' Wood shared the same photo and cheekily wrote, 'Our son was born his name is Huxley he's amazing and no it's probably none of your business xo brb see you in 18 years.' On Nov. 4, 2022, Wood made his Broadway debut as the musician Russell Hammond in Almost Famous. Benoist joined him on the red carpet and shared photos on Instagram. In her caption, she wrote that she was 'so unbelievably proud' of him. Benoist wished Wood a happy Valentine's Day with a sweet photo of them on the beach. Deadline announced that the couple would play co-stars yet again in a forthcoming NBC series titled Duo, written and executive produced by Wood. The project is currently in development. Benoist will also executive produce via her production company, Three Things Productions.

Freddie Prinze Jr. says kids thought ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer' was funny
A love of movies runs in the Prinze family. In a recent interview with Freddie Prinze Jr., who shares two kids with wife Sarah Michelle Gellar, says his family goes 'to as many movies as we can go to.' Prinze and Gellar have been married since 2002. They later welcomed a daughter Charlotte in 2009 and a son Rocky in 2012. And when it comes to movies their famous parents star in, they've seen at least one of those, too. According to Prinze, Charlotte, 15, and Rocky, 12, have watched the movie that started their family, 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' Prinze and Gellar met while making that movie. The cult classic horror movie, which premiered in 1997, is getting a sequel on July 18. 'They thought it was funny,' Prinze said of his kids' response to the movie, according to 'but they didn't like when mom died.' Prinze played Ray Bronson in the film, and Gellar played Helen Shivers. Prinze is set to reprise his role as Bronson in the 2025 sequel. Prinze told that he wasn't surprised by Charlotte and Rocky's reaction to the movie. 'If they watched the horror movies now, they would be more scared than watching the older stuff. And they know movies are fake. Horror movies haven't worked their brains or done evil to them.' The father of two admitted he almost didn't reprise his 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' role, but when the movie's director and writer, Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, shared her thoughts with him, he 'was really overwhelmed by all this information that she brought to the table and was so impressed,' he told In addition to Prinze appearing on the big screen this month, Gellar also shared exciting news on Wednesday, July 2. In an Instagram video filmed by Prinze, Gellar learned that she earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame alongside Prinze Jr.'s father, Freddie Prinze, who was also an actor and comedian.
