Season 5

**Season 5** (also titled as **The Savages: Homecoming**) of REBELReloaded's fanfiction series, **The Savages** premiered on June 24, 2019 and concluded on December 16, 2019. This marks the fifth and final season of the series.

Set six months after the Class of 2017's graduation, The Savages and James A. Masters High School students reunite in Seattle, Washington for an alumni retreat. However, when news gets out that the school is at risk of being shut down, The Savages set aside differences to save the school. It also focuses on a new generation of cliques in James A. Masters High School, as well as a new generation of The Savages. The final season will also serve as a chronological continuation of the second season of *Campus* and a trilogy of theatrical films, *The Savages: Vegas Heist* (2024), *The Savages Gone Wild* (2027), and *The Fate of The Savages* (2030).

Unlike the previous three seasons, *Homecoming* is considered very "high-spirited" and gives a coming-of-age theme. Aside from controversial subjects such as school shootings, negative influences of social media, awareness of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases, the season tackles The Savages alums rekindling their estranged relationship, Nate Osbourne's version of The Savages, the return of Zachary Foxx, Alex Herrera and Carl Touché's complicated future, and more.

The final season has thirteen main roles, with seven of the characters reprising their main roles from the fourth season. Quincy Brown (Trae Ventura), Brittany O'Grady (Maya Hastings), and Taron Egerton (Mike Daugherty) are credited as special guest stars as their roles cross over with the first season of *Campus.* This shift in roles makes both Nick Robinson (Carl Touché) and Diego Tinoco (Alex Herrera) the central characters of the final season.

Meanwhile, Addison Riecke (Alyssa Tanner) is promoted to a series regular after four seasons as a supporting character; Cameron Diaz (Rose De Vil) and Connor Paolo (Zachary Foxx) return as series regulars for the final season. Supporting cast members Sean Ryan Fox (Caiden Touché), Jordan Rodrigues (Novak Canosa), Jolene Purdy (Valley Kahale, and Lovie Simone (Nemo Washington) are promoted to series regulars after appearing in recurring roles in season 3-4 respectively.

Summer Boissiere (Iesha Bennett), Dove Cameron (Sydney Prescott), Katherine Langford (Lily Blossom), and Jacob Latimore (Luke Chambers) return as recurring guest stars. Jessica Lange (Jennifer Gordon) does not return for the final season.

The final season was met with critical acclaim and is considered a "breath of fresh air" for the series' end. Critics praised the new generation of The Savages and character development, but most praise is directed towards the memorable song numbers and performances throughout. The "New Level" and "Coming Home" performances from the two-part specials *The Night of the Redhawk* has garnered viral attention, specifically.
