“In two weeks, we’re going out with a bang. Literally, because ya might vibrate watchin’ the series finale in 4DX,” the show announced on Instagram. “Get yer mitts on a seat with the purchase of a concession voucher, which is good towards sweets or soda the day of. See ya May 19 at 9:30 p.m.”

Participating theaters include Regal, AMC, B&B, Marcus, Cineplex, Cinema West, Cinepolis, and Regency.

The Boys finale announcement comes on the heels of Netflix’s similar stunt with the Stranger Things series finale. Due to talent contracts, fans were not charged ticket prices to watch the finale in theaters; instead reserving seats by purchasing a concession voucher, which they were able to redeem during the show. The seat reservation system will be the same for The Boys.

In Season 5 of The Boys, “It’s Homelander’s world, completely subject to his erratic, egomaniacal whims,” as per the show’s official logline. “Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned in a ‘Freedom Camp.’ Annie struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko is nowhere to be found. But when Butcher reappears, ready and willing to use a virus that will wipe all Supes off the map, he sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change the world and everyone in it. It’s the climax, people. Big stuff’s gonna happen.”
