Season 5 of Amazon Prime's live-action adaptation of 'The Boys' is underway. Episode 4 is out now, and despite the show's trademark raunchiness and violence, the team remains united — for now. However, this could change before the season concludes.
Although 'The Boys' is based on a comic series, viewers unfamiliar with the source material don't know who might meet their end, but that hasn't stopped fans from speculating.
On Polymarket, a popular prediction-market app, users have been trading on the market of 'Who Will Die in Season Five of The Boys', which has drawn tons of volume.
Who Will Die in Season 5 of The Boys
In Episode 3 of Season 5, Butcher’s ultimate weapon to kill Homelander hit a snag. After a series of lethal tests on lower-tier Supes proved the virus could work, Dr. Sameer’s reunion with his daughter led to a 'tainted' production batch.
This setback complicates the Boys' plan to take down Homelander in Season 5, but for the rest of the Supe population, it might be the only reason they survive, for now.
However, no Supe or human is safe, these are the characters that are most likely to die in Season 5, according to traders on Polymarket:
Firecracker – 89%
Billy Butcher – 78%
Frenchie – 77%
The Deep – 74%
Homelander – 66%
These percentages are likely to change as each episode rolls out and more Polymarket predictions are made.
Will Starlight Die in Season 5
The protagonist Annie, aka Starlight, is the one person in the middle of Butcher and Homelander's feud of hatred who is trying to keep the peace.
While constantly trying to keep the pieces of the puzzle together, she has found herself on the opposite side of Homelander, which makes her a target.
Many fans and show watchers are curious if she'll die before the end of Season 5, which would break a lot of hearts. As predicted by traders on Polymarket, here's the chance that Starlight will die in Season 5:
Starlight – 14%

Market Resolution Rules
This market will resolve to “Yes” if the specified character dies during "The Boys: Season 5". Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
A qualifying death must show the specified character dead on screen, or otherwise that character’s death must clearly be stated to have occurred, even if offscreen (e.g., characters confirm their death in conversation, the funeral of a character occurs, etc.).
If a death is reversed through a revival, resurrection, or reanimation that occurs after the character has died, that death will still qualify. Deaths occurring in any timeline or dimension depicted in "The Boys: Season 5" will count toward resolution.
