Gen V Season 3 Update Is the Win The Boys Fans Have Been Waiting For
As The Boys barrels toward its Season 5 farewell, a promising update hints Gen V is moving toward a third season — a jolt of hope that the suped-up saga may continue on Prime Video.
File this under promising teases: Gen V might not be done yet, even as The Boys gets ready to take its final bow.
The hint that has fans perking up
At a Seattle's Emerald City Comic Con 2026 panel, The Boys stars Karl Urban and Laz Alonso talked about what comes next once their mothership show wraps with Season 5. Alonso put it this way:
'You got Gen V and then Vought Rising, which are the two shows that gonna probably continue the legacy as we finish our chapter in storytelling.'
That is not a formal Season 3 announcement, but it sure sounds like Gen V is being positioned to keep the universe alive alongside the upcoming Vought Rising. Read between the lines as you will.
Where Gen V sits right now
Gen V spins out of The Boys and follows young supes at Godolkin University School of Crimefighting, where Vought scouts potential candidates for The Seven. Season 1 premiered in September 2023. Season 2 arrived in September 2025. This new breadcrumb lands a month before The Boys returns for its final run: the first two episodes of Season 5 hit Prime Video on April 8, 2026.
- Cast highlights: Jaz Sinclair (Marie Moreau), Lizze Broadway (Emma Meyer), Maddie Phillips (Cate Dunlap), London Thor and Derek Luh (Jordan Li), Asa Germann (Sam Riordan), Sean Patrick Thomas (Polarity), Hamish Linklater (Dean Cipher).
- Key creatives: Executive producer and showrunner Michele Fazekas; executive producers Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Ken Levin, Jason Netter, Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson, Michaela Starr, Ori Marmur, Thomas Schnauz, Steve Boyum, and Brant Engelstein.
Short version: The Boys ends with Season 5, but Alonso is already pointing to Gen V and Vought Rising to carry the torch. If Prime Video likes momentum (and it does), more Gen V feels like a safe bet. Now we wait for the actual greenlight.
