Finished The Boys Season 5? 5 Dark, Addictive TV Shows to Binge Next

So The Boys is officially wrapped after season 5. Bummer, I know. But if you loved its unhinged energy, pitch-black humor, and surprisingly sharp politics, there are plenty of other shows that carry the same DNA in their own ways. Some are messy, some are masterpieces, and a couple are quietly fascinating for what they tried to do in The Boys-era TV.

Here are five shows worth your time next.

1. Jupiter's Legacy (Netflix )

   This one got a mixed reception and Netflix only gave it a single season back in 2021, but it is absolutely an interesting watch. Based on Mark Millar's comic, it follows the kids of legendary superheroes who are stuck trying to live up to their parents' mythmaking. You can feel the streamer looking for its own The Boys moment: big, grown-up superhero drama, TV-MA rating, complicated legacies. It never hit the same cultural highs, but as a quick, self-contained binge, it is a neat snapshot of how The Boys reshaped the genre on TV.

2. Daredevil + Daredevil: Born Again (Netflix/Disney+)

   Yes, it's Marvel, but the original Daredevil series is way gnarlier than your typical MCU comfort food. Grounded, brutal fights, a moral compass that spins, and production values that punched way above normal TV weight. It also jump-started Netflix's whole street-level superhero slate.

   Disney+ has revived the character with Daredevil: Born Again, which continues the story from the Netflix era. The revival draws some striking political parallels too: people have compared Wilson Fisk's populist power plays to the same kind of commentary The Boys does with Homelander. Different universes, similar themes, very of-the-moment.

3. Watchmen ( HBO )

   HBO's 2019 miniseries is a follow-up to Alan Moore's classic comic, set decades later with a brand-new story. After an attack by a white supremacist group, police start wearing masks, which blurs the line between law enforcement and costumed vigilantism all over again. Like The Boys, it digs straight into real-world politics and racism, but a lot of viewers would argue Watchmen threads that needle with even more nuance. It's bold, timely, and it sticks the landing.

4. Preacher (AMC )

   If you love The Boys because of Garth Ennis' boundary-pushing sensibility, go back to Preacher. Also based on a comic he co-created, this one dropped before The Boys and follows Jesse Custer, a small-town preacher who suddenly finds himself with a terrifyingly powerful gift. From there it veers into the supernatural, the profane, and the deeply weird in a way that feels like a spiritual cousin to The Boys, just with more demons and dust.

5. Invincible (Prime Video )

   The obvious companion piece. Robert Kirkman's animated series lives on the same service and plays with a lot of the same 'what if superheroes were real and the consequences were horrifying' ideas. It follows Mark Grayson, a teen who inherits powers from his father, Omni-Man, only to discover dad is not the savior everyone thinks he is. That revelation detonates a story that goes from family drama to planet-level stakes in a hurry.

   Invincible is R-rated, bloody, and absolutely willing to parody classic capes-and-cowls tropes. The big difference from The Boys: it is far more hopeful. Where The Boys leans into cynicism to skewer the genre, Invincible is basically a love letter to it, full of heart and long-arc character work. And yes, season 4 is set to arrive on Prime Video in 2026.

If your favorite things about The Boys were the raunch, the shock, the satire, and the 'superheroes dropped into the real world' angle, these five all hit some combo of that. Different vibes, same itch scratched.
