"The Boys" Showrunner Eric Kripke Addresses Filler Episode Criticism Amid Weekly Release

The Boys Showrunner Eric Kripke Is a Big Fan of Its Weekly Release Schedule, but Thinks Filler Episode Criticism Is One of the 'Side Effects'

The Boys is almost over, with just two episodes of the fifth and final season to go. And while there has been plenty to chew on week to week, some fans have said that Season 5 contains too many “filler episodes” that focus on character development over moving the overarching plot forward. As you'd expect, co-creator and showrunner Eric Kripke doesn’t agree with that sentiment at all.
