Gen V Creator Teases Season 3 Odds and the Franchise’s Next Chapter After The Boys Season 5

With the Gen V Season 2 finale landing on October 22, Eric Kripke is already talking next steps. Short version: he has a plan for more Gen V, but your eyeballs are going to decide if it actually happens.

So... is Gen V getting a Season 3?

Kripke (yes, the former Supernatural showrunner and current boss of The Boys) told TheWrap he has a Season 3 mapped out. The catch is viewership. If enough people finish Season 2, Season 3 is on the table. If not, not.

"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."

Translation: if you want more campus chaos, make sure Season 2 numbers pop.

What happens after The Boys Season 5?

The main show is wrapping with Season 5, but Kripke is clearly not done playing in this sandbox. He broke down where the universe stands right now, and it's a mix of new experiments and tough calls:

• The Boys: Mexico is in early development, with the pilot script currently being written.
• The Boys Presents: Diabolical likely will not get a Season 2.
• Vought Rising, the upcoming prequel, already has a Season 2 game plan — but continuing past its debut will depend on how many people show up to watch the first season.

Kripke also teased the vibe once The Boys proper signs off: the world after Season 5 opens up in a big way — looser rules, bigger swings, the kind of anything-goes sandbox that he says would be a blast to drop the Gen V crew into. He's clearly itching to push things further if the audience is there.

Bottom line: the Gen V Season 2 finale hits October 22. If you want a Season 3, now is exactly when the people with the calculators are watching the numbers.
