• Prime Video's "The Boys" will end with its upcoming fifth season.
• Showrunner Eric Kripke already knows how the series will conclude.
• There's no release date yet, but season five is expected to start filming in mid-November.

All good things must come to an end, including Prime Video's popular superhero satire series "The Boys."

The show was officially renewed for a fifth season back in May. Then on Tuesday, two days before the the season four premiere, creator and showrunner Eric Kripke revealed via X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram that the upcoming fifth season would be the show's last.

"#TheBoys Season 4 Premiere Week is the perfect time to announce: Season 5 will be the Final Season! Which was always my plan, I just had to be cagey about it until I got final permission from @voughtintl,'" Kripke wrote on Instagram.

"But I'm thrilled to bring this story to a gory, epic, emotional climax. So check out Season 4, premiering THIS THURSDAY, because the end has begun! Hop in for the ride. Which will be bumpy. And probably a little moist. @theboystv @primevideo."

Here's everything we know about season five of "The Boys," so far.

Season 4 is designed to be a darker, more introspective season ahead of the all-out action of season 5

So far, season four has explored the characters' biggest fears and unresolved traumas. Kripke compared the show to a three-act film and said that season four serves as act two.

"It's like the darkest point, the most introspective point," he told Deadline. "It's the one where the characters have to emotionally face their existential trauma. So then they're able to jump onto the roller coaster ride that is the climax of the movie."

Kripke already has ideas for the series finale ending

Kripke told Deadline that the writers' room spent weeks discussing the show's mythology and broad ideas for season five, and he has a good idea of how the series will conclude.

"I know that moment where the title card comes up and it says six months later, and you see where everybody is," he said. "I know that. I can really write the last 10 pages of this story right now."

He explained to The Hollywood Reporter that everything isn't mapped out in detail yet because he wants to create room for the writers to suggest ideas and twists.

"I don't totally know how we're going to get there, but I know the destination," he said.

Season 5 of 'The Boys' will definitively wrap up the show's story

"The Boys" juggles many characters and storylines, but the heart of the show is the dynamic between sworn enemies Butcher (Karl Urban) and Homelander (Antony Starr).

Homelander already teased a "scorched" earth" destiny for him and Butcher in the season three premiere. It looks like fans will likely see that play out in season five.

"The show is a serialized story that is about Butcher and Homelander slowly crashing into each other, and the show doesn't work without either of those," Kripke told The Hollywood Reporter. "So, you just can't keep that going on forever, you have to let them smash into each other."

"What I would say is, this particular story is ending, the Butcher-Homelander is ending," he told Variety. "But there can be other stories and other corners of the universe."

There are already various "Boys" offshoots in different stages; the college-set "Gen V" was renewed for a second season in October and a Mexico spin-off is in the works. But the upcoming fifth season of "The Boys" will be the end of the road for the show.

"This story of 'The Boys' will not continue on," Kripke told Entertainment Weekly, adding that there are some other potential spin-offs in development that have yet to be announced.

There's no release date yet for season 5

"It's not totally locked in yet, but we are going to start shooting around mid-November," Kripke told Variety. "And I don't know when it'll premiere yet, but we'll be shooting well into middle of '25."

The showrunner added that, like past seasons, the final installment will be comprised of eight episodes.

Since season five is anticipated to film through 2025, that means it likely won't premiere until 2026.

• Elon Musk seems to have a new go-to shoe.
• The Tesla CEO has been seen multiple times wearing black shoes with the word "Cybertruck" on them.
• Here's where you can find a similar pair.

Elon Musk has been hyping up Tesla's angular pickup Cybertruck for a while now. Lately, he's even started doing so with his shoes.

The Tesla CEO has been sporting new go-to footwear lately: a pair of sneakers bearing the word "Cybertruck" on them.

He was seen wearing them in December in Rome at a meeting organized by the right-wing Italian political party Brothers of Italy.

And in his latest notable outing with them — Tesla's annual shareholder meeting on Thursday — he even got a shoutout complimenting his kicks.

So, where did Musk get the shoes? Business Insider did a bit of a deep dive and found that they look similar to the Roamer men's shoe from Kizik in the color blackout — and were likely custom-made for him. Their big draw is that you can slide the shoes on hands-free.

Kizik did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The price of Kizik's Roamer shoe varies depending on the color. A pair in the blackout color, which is the closest to what Musk appeared to wear at the Tesla shareholder meeting, is currently $99, down from $149, according to the product listing on June 14.

Musk also appears to have another custom-made pair of Kiziks, with one shoe bearing the X in the SpaceX logo and another bearing the Tesla logo.

It looks like the shoes aren't available for purchase with the Tesla or SpaceX detailing, but if you're looking for a dupe, the off-the-shelf Kizik Roamers are a good bet. We recommend grabbing yourself some Wite-Out, too.

• Kensington Palace has released the first photograph of Kate Middleton since her cancer diagnosis. 
• The new image came with a statement that the Princess of Wales is attending Trooping the Colour. 
• The royal event, marking the King's official birthday, is Kate's first since Christmas Day 2023. 

Kensington Palace has released the first official photograph of Kate Middleton nearly four months after she announced that she has cancer.

The photograph, taken of Kate at home in Windsor, was shared by the official Kensington Palace social media accounts.

It came alongside an announcement from Kate that she will attend the 2024 Trooping the Colour on Saturday.

Other senior royals confirmed to attend the event, which marks the sovereign's official birthday, are Queen Camilla and King Charles III, who is also undergoing cancer treatment.

Charles made his return to public duties in April at an Easter church service. Buckingham Palace announced he had been diagnosed with cancer in February after he underwent a procedure to treat an enlarged prostate.

Unlike Trooping the Colour 2023, Charles will likely attend in a carriage rather than on horseback, the BBC reported.

The new photo of Kate Middleton came with a health update

In the photograph, which Sky News reported was taken earlier this week, Kate is seen posing next to a tree wearing jeans and a tan blazer with thin white stripes.

In a caption to the photograph signed "C," she shared a personal update about her condition. She said she is making "good progress" with her chemotherapy treatment and is starting to do some work from home, with the caveat that "there are good days and bad days."

"My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months," she wrote. "On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity."

The royal event on Saturday marks Kate's first official appearance since she said in a video released by Kensington Palace on March 22 that she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy.

Her diagnosis came after tests following a planned abdominal surgery in January found cancerous cells, she said in the video.

Her upcoming appearance marks her first since Christmas Day 2023, when she was photographed taking part in the British royal family's traditional walk to a Church service in Sandringham, Norfolk.

• "House of the Dragon" season two premieres Sunday on HBO.
• The "Game of Thrones" prequel series focuses on the noble houses of Westeros during a civil war.
• Here's how the cast compares to their character counterparts.

Many of the main stars of "House of the Dragon" return for the show's second season.

The "Game of Thrones" prequel was an instant hit when it first premiered in 2022. Season one told a story over 19 years that builds up to a massive civil war in Westeros. Season two will finally show that war, as House Targaryen and House Hightower fight over who should rule Westeros.

Fans may be surprised that many of the cast members do not look like their characters. Though House Targaryen are famous for their blonde hair, Matt Smith and Paddy Considine, who played major Targaryens, are not blonde.

Here's what the cast looks like in real life compared to their characters.

Queen Rhaenyra looks the most similar to Daenerys Targaryen in "Game of Thrones," with signature long blonde hair often worn in braids.

Emma D'Arcy, who portrays older Rhaenyra, wears a wig for their character.

In season one, we saw a younger version of Queen Rhaenyra.

Milly Alcock, who plays young Rhaenyra, is a brunette.

Prince Daemon Targaryen is Rhaenyra's husband and uncle.

Under the blonde wig and sturdy armor, Matt Smith actually has short, dark brown hair.

King Viserys Targaryen has silvery-blonde hair like other members of his family.

Paddy Considine has short, dark, salt-and-pepper hair, but he rocks the same facial hair as his character.

Alicent Hightower is Viserys' second wife and Rhaenyra's former best friend.

In real life, Olivia Cooke has a darker shade of brown hair than her character, and rocks bangs.

In season one, there was a younger version of Alicent.

Emily Carey, who plays young Alicent, also has slightly darker hair than Alicent's.

Criston Cole is a young and solemn knight with curly brown hair and light facial hair.

Of all the cast members, Fabien Frankel resembles his character the most.

Otto Hightower, Alicent's father, is a practical-looking man with close-cropped hair and a beard.

In real life, Rhys Ifans has a less thick beard and lighter hair color.

Princess Rhaenys is the cousin of King Viserys, and wears her hair in a tall, braided style.

Eve Best does have blond hair in real life, but it is shorter than her character's and less silver.

Lord Corlys is a serious leader with white locs and a salt-and-pepper beard.

Steve Toussaint wears a wig for the show because he is bald in real life.

Prince Jacaerys "Jace" Velaryon is the firstborn son of Rhaenyra.

Harry Collett, who plays Jacaerys, has curly hair just like his character.

King Aegon II Targaryen is Alicent's firstborn son.

Tom Glynn-Carney, who plays Aegon, has darker hair than Aegon in real life.

Prince Aemond Targaryen, Alicent's third child, has the Targaryen signature blonde hair.

Ewan Mitchell has shorter hair than Aemond.

Queen Helaena Targaryen, Alicent's second child, also has blonde hair.

Phia Saban also wears a wig to portray Helaena Targaryen.

Lady Baela Targaryen is Daemon's first child with his first wife, Laena Valeryon.

Bethany Antonia wears a blonde wig to play Lady Baela

Lady Rhaena Targaryen is Daemon's other daughter.

Phoebe Campbell also wears a blonde wig to play Lady Rhaena

Ser Harrold Westerling is the former lord commander of the Kingsguard.

Graham McTavish looks exactly like his character, without the armor.

Mysaria has long dark hair that is often cloaked in public.

Sonoya Mizuno also looks very similar to her character in real life.

Heavy storms and floods swamped southern Florida as residents are still recovering from 2023 flood damage. Some areas saw as much as 20 inches of rain in one day.

• Tesla's cult-like following was on full display at its annual shareholder meeting on Thursday.
• Fans wore "Cybertruck" shirts, signed shareholder banners, and cheered throughout the event.
• Shareholders praised the CEO in the Q&A segment and commented on his impact on history. 

It's no secret that Elon Musk has a cult-like following — and that was on full display at Tesla's annual shareholder meeting on Thursday.

Musk successfully mobilized his fanbase to help push through his $55 billion pay package, and some of Tesla's biggest supporters scored invites to the annual meeting.

Some also scored a factory tour with the CEO, which was one of many tactics Tesla used to boost the number of retail shareholders who voted on proposals, including Musk's pay package and Tesla moving its state of incorporation from Delaware to Texas (which was also approved).

Musk and Tesla's board did a full-court press in the lead-up to the vote, and it seems to have worked.

NYT's Dealbook reported that Tesla succeeded in getting a higher-than-usual number of retail investors to vote, and Musk's pay package passed with about 72% approval. Retail investors undoubtedly played a key role, but Tesla needed the support of some of its biggest institutional investors, like BlackRock and Vanguard, to get the pay package across the finish line.

Vanguard was Tesla's largest outside investor that voted in favor of the pay package, according to a report from Reuters. Vanguard's fund manager voted against the compensation package in 2018, the report said.

A triumphant atmosphere — and some dancing from Musk

For Muska and Tesla fans who made the journey to Texas for the meeting, the mood was celebratory.

Some wore "Cybertruck" shirts to the event and fans signed a large banner at the event emblazoned with the words "Don't mess with Tesla retail shareholders."

Musk danced his way onto the stage after it became official that his shareholders had re-approved his enormous pay package, jumping up and down to the crowd's cheers.

"I just want to start off by saying, hot damn! I love you guys," Musk said at the meeting.

Thursday's vote made one thing crystal clear: For many of Tesla's retail shareholders, the feeling is mutual. Most of the questions posed to Musk during the Q&A segment started with the shareholders singing their praises to the Tesla CEO.

One shareholder started by saying, "We love you so much, Elon," and another said he moved to Texas thanks to Musk. One shareholder referred to him as "an absolute idol" and asked if Musk was taking care of his safety and health because he cared about him as a person.

Musk ate it up. The CEO was in high spirits and even agreed to make one of the proposed changes from shareholders on the spot, like offering one more quarter of a limited-time Full Self-Driving transfer to new vehicles.

Musk's tendency to make bold and ambitious promises, even if they shift, is part of what excites his fanbase. His ability to achieve seemingly impossible goals, like the ones entailed in his performance-based compensation plan, has clearly fueled loyalty and passion for his vision.

• Russian unmanned aircraft can be seen destroying Ukraine's night bomber drones in videos from the war.
• Ukraine's Vampire drones have caused headaches for Russia's military, but the Russians are now intercepting them.
• Taking out a drone with another drone is a less expensive solution than some other air-defense options.

Recent footage from the war shows Russia using its own unmanned aerial vehicles to take down Ukraine's night bomber drones.

Russia has struggled to contain Ukraine's Vampire drones, which have caused significant damage to the Russian military at night, but recent combat videos circulating on social media suggest the Russians may have worked out a solution.

The videos show Russia successfully destroying the drones using UAVs of its own as interceptors, war watchers have reported. Business Insider was unable to independently verify the purported details for the footage.

Nicknamed "Baba Yaga" drones by Russian forces, a reference to an evil creature in Slavic folklore, Ukraine's Vampire drones are regularly able to avoid detection and can fly at high speeds, allowing them to wreak havoc on Russia's military.

The Ukrainian drones can find targets during the day with the standard camera and at night using thermal imaging. Their ability to operate during both day and night makes them significantly more useful compared to Ukraine's other drones, but they are not as cheap.

Drone-on-drone combat has been a less common occurrence over the course of the war, but it's starting to happen more often now. To combat Ukraine's significant use of UAVs, Russia has begun targeting them using first-person-view drones, Russian commentators have noticed lately.

They "will mow down the ranks of Baba Yaga drones," one commentator said of FPV drones, per a translation of the remarks by Samuel Bendett, a Russian drone expert. "This clumsy and slow-moving bomber is already shot down by experienced FPV drone crews."

The commentators predict that the FPV drone could evolve into a "super weapon," as powerful as the anti-tank guided missiles that are used to destroy armored military vehicles. In many ways, these systems are already reshaping modern warfare, threatening anything that moves, from top tanks to individual soldiers.
