News Gen V Gen V Season 3 Is Up to the “TV Gods,” Says The Boys Creator Eric Kripke “That’s what’s great about a college show—everyone’s always going to college!” says Gen V’s showrunner. By Molly Templeton | Published on October 22, 2025 Screenshot: Prime Video Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Prime Video The second season of The Boys spinoff Gen V had a lot of heavy lifting to do—not least in terms of dealing with the tragic death of star Chance Perdomo. Gen V also sets up part of the upcoming fifth season of The Boys, which will involve the resistance against the super-strong and super-monstrous Homelander. But Gen V executive producer and The Boys creator Eric Kripke tells The Hollywood Reporter, “We still work hard to try to maintain our balance that The Boys is about The Boys, and Gen V is about Gen V. The characters provide crucial assists, but it’s still about The Boys, and you can watch it without having watched Gen V and vice versa. But watching both is still a much more fun experience.” But what about the future of Gen V itself? The series hasn’t yet been renewed, and, as THR notes, the second season finale somewhat gives the impression that “the shows were merging.” Kripke says that’s not the plan: “We don’t play it in season five of The Boys that this is the end of Gen V. We leave them open-ended because we actually have more Gen V story to tell, and we’d love to tell it. It depends on the ratings and how many people end up tuning in. We have to make it so Amazon picks us up for another season.” If Gen V does continue, it will be with a new person at the helm: Showrunner Michele Fazekas is departing the show either way. (In April, she signed on as the first female showrunner of Law & Order: SVU.) In an interview with Variety, she was a bit more straightforward about the purpose of Gen V’s second season: “Our task here was launching into The Boys, which doesn’t really mean that there wouldn’t be another season of Gen V. That’s what’s great about a college show—everyone’s always going to college! But our task was launch us into the new season of The Boys.” The Boys will end with its fifth season, which doesn’t have a release date yet. Last year, Prime Video greenlit a prequel series, Vought Rising, which is set to star Aya Cash and Jensen Ackles. They’re clearly not done with this universe, and Kripke sounds like he isn’t done with Gen V: Its fate is “a little bit up to the audience and TV gods, but we’re ready and willing if we get the nod,” he tells THR.[end-mark] The post <i>Gen V</i> Season 3 Is Up to the “TV Gods,” Says <i>The Boys</i> Creator Eric Kripke appeared first on Reactor.
