The Boys season 5 finale left star Jack Quaid in tears over Hughie's fate: "It was so surreal for me"

Erin Moriarty as Annie/ Starlight and Jack Quaid as Hughie in The Boys season 5 finale.

Jack Quaid says he was overcome with emotion when he found out what happens to Hughie in the final episode of The Boys.

"Erin [Moriarty] made fun of me on the day because I kept staring at her fake pregnant belly, because it was so surreal for me," Quaid told The Los Angeles Times. "I’m not a father yet, but to me, the closest thing to being an expectant father was like, 'Oh, my TV partner has a baby on the way!'"

In The Boys season 5 finale, everyone (who lives, that is) gets their own happy ending. After turning down a position at the White House, Hughie and Annie own their own AV repair shop by day, and hunt rogue supes by night. One of the final scenes in The Boys sees Annie standing behind the counter of their store with a visibly pregnant belly, which doesn't stop her from flying off into the night to fight some bad guys, mind you. They also named the baby Robin, after Hughie's girlfriend who was killed in season 1.

Though this may be the end for the main cast of The Boys, we still have two spin-offs on the way: The Boys: Mexico and Vought Rising. Prepare for a whole lot more Soldier Boy on your screens...

The Boys season 5 is now streaming in full on Prime Video. For more, check out our The Boys season 5 episode 8 finale recap, our take on the episode in our The Boys season 5 finale review, and all the details about what's next in Vought Rising.
