Showrunner Eric Kripke confirmed last month that he had always planned for the series to end after its fifth season<\/a>, and now Black Noir star Nathan Mitchell has given his reaction to the news.<\/p>\n Speaking exclusively with RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Mitchell said: \u201cWe always knew it was the rough plan, but I think he confirmed it with us probably earlier this year.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd on one level, it\u2019s sad, because I love the show, I love everybody on the show, so happy that they\u2019re in my life.<\/p>\n \u201cOn another level, we\u2019ll have the opportunity to continue being in each other\u2019s life, but just not in the same way.<\/p>\n \u201cYou always want to go out on as high of a note as possible. You want to tell the story you want to tell on your terms, and I think that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing by deciding to end it at five seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cWould I be mad if we got to spend another year together? Absolutely not. But I think the most important thing is telling a good concise story, and by ending it at 5, I think we\u2019re doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Mother\u2019s Milk star Laz Alonso recently gave his own suggestion for how the series could come to an end, revealing that he\u2019s been pitching a feature film<\/a> to bring the story to a close.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cMake the last episode of season 5 a cliffhanger and announce the film that we\u2019ve been filming since the beginning of the series, pretty much.\u201d<\/p>\n However, he added that having heard the pitch, Kripke \u201calways somehow gets out of that one\u201d.<\/p>\n The current season of The Boys has seen Homelander looking to cement his power using a plan put together by Sister Sage<\/a>, the most intelligent person on Earth.<\/p>\n The Boys season 4 will continue on Prime Video on Thursday 18th July.<\/strong>\u00a0The Boys seasons 1-3 are available to watch now\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>try Amazon Prime Video for free for 30 days<\/a>.
