The Boys creator Eric Kripke reveals his plans for the franchise after the release of season 5. The franchise’s main series is set to end with season 5, which will be released in 2026. Gen V, which is in the midst of releasing its season 2 episodes, is set between The Boys seasons 4 and 5.
With The Boys season 5 set to conclude the fictional universe’s central story, there has been uncertainty about what the franchise’s future will be. Vought Rising is filming, but it is a prequel set decades earlier in the timeline, little is known about the in-development The Boys: Mexico, and Gen V has not yet been renewed for season 3.
During an interview with TheWrap, Kripke now confirms that the franchise will not end with The Boys season 5 and Vought Rising season 1. He reveals that there are plans for Gen V season 3 and Vought Rising season 2, but emphasizes that they will only happen if there is enough viewership. Check out his comments below:
We have a plan for “Gen V” Season 3, and we’re psyched about it, but we need enough viewers to watch Season 2 to justify Season 3. Now’s the time that they’re paying attention to the numbers. So don’t watch even a year from now. Turn on Prime [Video] and watch it now. If enough people watch then we’ll get a Season 3. Same applies to “Vought Rising” Season 1. We have plans for a Season 2, if we can. They’ve been nothing but supportive, and they’re giving us our opportunities. But it’s a business and we also have to deliver. So hopefully the audience shows up.
As long as there’s an interesting story to tell and new facets to reveal, I’m in. Without spoiling anything, I think the universe post-“The Boys” Season 5 is such a fascinating universe, there’s a lot to explore. It’s so much more of the wild west in terms of, like, f–king anything goes — without giving anything away. And I think that would be a blast to put the “Gen V” kids in the middle of.
