Phillipson"},"description":"Daisy joined Digitalbox in 2026 as an Editor at Film Shrine, where she oversees all things film and TV. Having written for LADbible, Little White Lies, Digital Spy and Dexerto, she\u2019s covered everything from blockbuster releases to niche horror, with a particular obsession for shows like Euphoria, Severance and The Boys. If it\u2019s dark, disturbing or dominating Netflix, Daisy is probably already writing about it.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/DaisyWebb77"],"jobTitle":"Editor at Film Shrine","url":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/author\/daisythetab-com\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/filmshrine.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/05\/19\/karl-urban-says-the-boys-season-5-finale-wont-end-game-of-thrones-disappointment\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Karl Urban says The Boys finale won\u2019t end in a Game of Thrones level disappointment","url":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/05\/19\/karl-urban-says-the-boys-season-5-finale-wont-end-game-of-thrones-disappointment\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/05\/19\/karl-urban-says-the-boys-season-5-finale-wont-end-game-of-thrones-disappointment\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/05\/the-boys-karl-urban-game-of-thrones-2-150x150.jpg","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/05\/the-boys-karl-urban-game-of-thrones-2.jpg"},"articleSection":"News","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daisy Phillipson"}],"creator":["Daisy Phillipson"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Film Shrine","logo":"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/04\/cropped-The-Tab_Film-Shrine_Favicon.png"},"keywords":["now showing","prime video","the boys","tv"],"dateCreated":"2026-05-19T10:51:01Z","datePublished":"2026-05-19T10:51:01Z","dateModified":"2026-05-19T10:56:19Z"},"rendered":"<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"wp-parsely-metadata\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"headline\":\"Karl Urban says The Boys finale won\\u2019t end in a Game of Thrones level disappointment\",\"url\":\"http:\\\/\\\/thetab.com\\\/filmshrine\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/19\\\/karl-urban-says-the-boys-season-5-finale-wont-end-game-of-thrones-disappointment\\\/\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/thetab.com\\\/filmshrine\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/19\\\/karl-urban-says-the-boys-season-5-finale-wont-end-game-of-thrones-disappointment\\\/\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/cdn.filmshrine.com\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/the-boys-karl-urban-game-of-thrones-2-150x150.jpg\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/cdn.filmshrine.com\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/the-boys-karl-urban-game-of-thrones-2.jpg\"},\"articleSection\":\"News\",\"author\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Daisy Phillipson\"}],\"creator\":[\"Daisy Phillipson\"],\"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"Film Shrine\",\"logo\":\"https:\\\/\\\/cdn.filmshrine.com\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/04\\\/cropped-The-Tab_Film-Shrine_Favicon.png\"},\"keywords\":[\"now showing\",\"prime video\",\"the boys\",\"tv\"],\"dateCreated\":\"2026-05-19T10:51:01Z\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-05-19T10:51:01Z\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-05-19T10:56:19Z\"}<\/script>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/filmshrine.com\/p.js"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3874","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3874"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3874\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3885,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3874\/revisions\/3885"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3874"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3874"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=3874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
