The Supes are back in town for one final season of *The Boys*, and Antony Starr has shared an emotional farewell message to the superhero TV series ahead of its last episodes.

In a lengthy statement posted on Instagram overnight Wednesday, Starr, who plays the nefarious anti-superhero Homelander, praised the show's cast, crew, and fans.

"Been waiting a little to let things settle and try and process the end of this show," the 49-year-old wrote at the top of the post, which also included photos of himself in character alongside the cast.

He continued, adding that it's "difficult (for me) to put into words what an incredible ride this has been. How much life and growth has occurred. How amazing the team is," calling the experience "the highlight" of his career to date.

"When we began, I had no idea what was coming. This juggernaut left the station and never stopped. Except for that Covid moment. Oh and the strikes. That was a thing too," he joked. "But apart from those two times, it never stopped, boldly making its mark on the television landscape. There's nothing else like it. It lives in its own lane."

Starr noted that gratitude is "all there really is" left to express at the end of the ride, before thanking the Canadian crew of the series, the production team, and his fellow cast members who starred in "this beautiful, complex, warped, delicious show" alongside him.****"I love this show. And I love this character. Truly. I will dearly miss heading to work, knowing what we were aiming for but never knowing where we would find ourselves by the end of the day…only that we would have fun and it would be creatively rewarding in the extreme," he continued. "This complicated character allowed the space and range to discover and push boundaries in a way I never expected and I will always be grateful for this experience."**

Starr finished his statement by honoring his "co-parent with this twisted gem of a character," show developer Eric Kripke.

"We created a monster, sir. And I will miss him, and you. Til we roll out the last season. When I'll see you. But this creative chapter is closed , and I'll miss it, brother," Starr added. "And finally- massive thank you to the fans. You are the life blood. Without you, we don't get to do this. And our fans are second to none. Mad love to you….and deepest respect for your taste ;)"

The post finished with a promising outlook for the final episodes ahead: "Okidoke people. We cooked for the last time. Can't wait to show you what we made. TIL that day, Homelander, signing off. Xo."**

Starr has played Homelander since 2019 across four seasons of the Amazon Prime Video series, which also stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Chace Crawford, and more.**

In the comments section of Starr's post, Moriarty wrote that it was "a gift to get to watch your masterclass in acting, let alone boogie w you during it," while fellow *Boys* actress Karen Fukuhara added, "What a f---ing time we had. Grateful to have had this experience with you + greatly miss it already."

"The shows talk to each other, so season 4 of *The Boys* sets us up in season 2 of *Gen V*," she said. "So Homelander has taken over America, and now we get to see what that looks like in the country, what that looks like at the school, and then what the resistance is going to start to look like. And there will be some important cameos. Where are some of these people from *The Boys*? Where did they end up? So there will answers to that and how they all play into the resistance to Homelander."
