As long as Amazon doesn't do what it did with Fallout season 2's first and last installments, and release The Boys season 5's first pair of episodes early in the Americas, they'll come out on the aforementioned date worldwide.

  • US — Wednesday, April 8 at 12am PT / 3am ET
  • Canada — Wednesday, April 8 at 12am PT / 3am ET
  • UK — Wednesday, April 8 at 8am
  • India — Wednesday, April 8 at 12:30pm IST
