Been waiting a little to let things settle and try and process the end of this show. The Boys,\u201d Starr began his lengthy caption. \u201cDifficult (for me) to put into words what an incredible ride this has been. How much life and growth has occurred. How amazing the team is. It\u2019s truly been the highlight of my career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Starr said he \u201chad no idea what was coming\u201d when the Prime Video superhero series premiered back in 2019. \u201cThis juggernaut left the station and never stopped. Except for that Covid moment. Oh and the strikes. That was a thing too,\u201d he quipped. \u201cBut apart from those two times, it never stopped, boldly making its mark on the television landscape. There\u2019s nothing else like it.

And I love this character. Truly. I will dearly miss heading to work, knowing what we were aiming for but never knowing where we would find ourselves by the end of the day\u2026only that we would have fun and it would be creatively rewarding in the extreme. This complicated character allowed the space and range to discover and push boundaries in a way I never expected and I will always be grateful for this experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Chace Crawford, Antony Starr, Eric Kripke, and Nathan Mitchell behind the scenes of 'The Boys' Season 5\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"760\" height=\"570\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/LuK7bZ_IGuNkg_00qrlVhQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTcyMDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/tv_insider_639\/b4953fc8f277427ebfe4eae842449e8f\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Chace Crawford, Antony Starr, Eric Kripke, and Nathan Mitchell behind the scenes of &#8216;The Boys&#8217; Season 5<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Nathan Mitchell via Eric Kripke on X<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Starr also gave a special shout-out to the show\u2019s creator, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/people\/eric-kripke\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Eric Kripke;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Eric Kripke<\/a>, for helping him create the \u201cmonster\u201d that is Homelander. \u201cI will miss him, and you.
