Eric Kripke knows that The Boys will eventually come to an end, but that’s something he doesn’t want to think about anytime soon.
The showrunner spoke to PEOPLE days after the Prime Video series released its season 4 finale, and opened up about his “bittersweet” feelings toward the upcoming fifth season.
“I’m really grateful and happy that I get to end the show on our terms,” Kripke tells PEOPLE on Friday, July 26, at San Diego Comic-Con.

“That’s really rare. Frankly, it’s the first time I’ve been able to do it,” he adds. “So it just really, it really is exciting for the creative. But I’m also sad. I genuinely love this cast. We really are a family. I’m successfully blocking it for now, but like when we all eventually go our separate ways, I’m gonna be a mess.”
