People Are Betting Thousands on Who Will Die in ‘The Boys’ Season 5 Finale — Here’s Who Fans Think Will Survive

Fans are placing real money bets on which characters might meet their demise in ‘The Boys’ Season 5 finale, which is set to conclude the series this week. As the final episode approaches, viewers are fixated on one pressing question: who will survive, and who will not make it out alive.

The trend of betting on character deaths is driven by prediction markets like Polymarket, where users can wager on various outcomes in TV shows and real-world events. In this instance, the spotlight is on the concluding season of ‘The Boys’.

Chace Crawford, who portrays The Deep in the series, has reacted to this betting phenomenon. In an interview with Today, he learned that approximately $14,000 is being wagered on whether his character will die in the final season. He humorously remarked, “It could be my $14,000! We don’t know,” adding, “Insider trading… it’s still the wild west on Polymarket, right?” He also mentioned that fans have been reaching out for hints about the plot, but he remains tight-lipped.

Crawford elaborated, “I’ve gotten some texts actually, from some people who were like, ‘Hey, really, dude, what episode is it exactly if you do?’ Can’t confirm or deny,” referencing his interview with Today.

On Polymarket, trading activity indicates strong opinions regarding which characters might perish. Reports suggest that many users believe Homelander has a high likelihood of dying by the season’s end, with The Deep closely following. Billy Butcher is also part of the speculation, albeit with lower odds. Some characters, including Firecracker, A-Train, and Frenchie, are already considered out of the running based on earlier outcomes.

The betting rules for this market are quite stringent. A character is considered “dead” only if their death is explicitly shown on screen or confirmed within the storyline. If a character returns later through revival or reanimation, the death still counts.

Flashbacks, dreams, or hallucinations do not qualify as real deaths. If a character’s fate remains ambiguous, it will not be counted either. The outcome will be determined solely by what occurs in the official episodes of ‘The Boys’ Season 5, including any post-credits scenes.

The rules also clarify that external materials like comics, podcasts, or other media will not influence the outcome unless directly referenced in the show.

With only the finale remaining, speculation is at an all-time high. Viewers are eagerly anticipating how the story will conclude, while betting markets continue to fluctuate as fans attempt to predict which characters will survive until the end of ‘The Boys’.
