Future Plans After Season 5 Revealed By Eric Kripke

The Boys creator Eric Kripke reveals his plans for the franchise’s future. The primary sequence is ready to finish with season 5, which will probably be launched in 2026. Gen V, which is within the midst of releasing its season 2 episodes, is ready between The Boys seasons 4 and 5.

With The Boys season 5 set to conclude the fictional universe’s central story, there was uncertainty about what the franchise’s future will probably be. Vought Rising is filming, however it’s a prequel set many years earlier within the timeline, little is thought concerning the in-development The Boys: Mexico, and Gen V has not but been renewed for season 3.

Throughout an interview with TheWrap, Kripke now confirms that the franchise is not going to finish 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, however emphasizes that they are going to solely occur if there may be sufficient viewership. Take a look at his feedback beneath:

We have now a plan for “Gen V” Season 3, and we’re psyched about it, however we’d like sufficient viewers to look at Season 2 to justify Season 3. Now’s the time that they’re listening to the numbers. So don’t watch even a yr from now. Activate Prime [Video] and watch it now. If sufficient folks watch then we’ll get a Season 3. Similar applies to “Vought Rising” Season 1. We have now plans for a Season 2, if we will. They’ve been nothing however supportive, they usually’re giving us our alternatives. However it’s a enterprise and we additionally should ship. So hopefully the viewers reveals up.

So long as there’s an attention-grabbing story to inform and new sides to disclose, I’m in. With out spoiling something, I feel the universe post-“The Boys” Season 5 is such an interesting universe, there’s quite a bit to discover. It’s a lot extra of the wild west when it comes to, like, f–king something goes — with out giving something away. And I feel that might be a blast to place the “Gen V” youngsters in the midst of.

The Boys is certainly one of Prime Video’s largest reveals, which suggests it is sensible for them to additional capitalize on this success with continuations of Gen V and Vought Rising. It additionally helps that each spinoffs function acquainted characters from the unique present.

Together with bringing readability to the franchise’s future, Kripke’s response takes strain off The Boys sequence finale and the Gen V season 2 finale. Because it will not be the ultimate story in The Boys‘ chronological timeline, the primary present’s ending could be extra centered on the characters it has been following since 2019 as an alternative of concluding the broader universe.

Gen V season 2 may also concentrate on wrapping up its current story and never have to fret about ending the complete sequence. So long as they survive the season 2 finale, which means the tales of Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair), Jordan Li (Derek Luh and London Thor), and the spinoff’s different primary characters might proceed for years to come back, no matter whether or not they seem in The Boys season 5.

Homelander (Antony Starr) and Vought will presumably be defeated, presumably by Billy Butcher (Karl City), in season 5. Gen V season 3 can discover what a post-Homelander world seems like for supes, together with what Godolkin College could be with out Vought’s corrupting affect.

All of the seasons of The Boys and Gen V have been hits for Prime Video and left room for additional tales to be explored. So long as the viewership is there, the franchise will proceed to faucet into this potential with extra seasons of Gen V and Vought Rising.
