Will We Get a 'Gen V' Season 3? Here's the Latest on the Future of the 'Boys' Universe!

The Godolkin University crew just wrapped up a wild second season, leaving fans eager for more. But with Prime Video keeping quiet, what's the real deal on 'Gen V' Season 3 and the wider 'Boys' universe?

TL;DR

• A third season of Gen V isn't greenlit yet, but co-creator Eric Kripke says plans exist and depend heavily on Season 2 viewership. So, watch it now!
• The Gen V Season 2 finale directly sets up The Boys Season 5, which picks up about six months later, with Marie and friends joining the resistance.
• While the animated spinoff The Boys Presents: Diabolical is officially canceled due to low viewership, new prequels like Vought Rising and The Boys: Mexico are still in active development.

Alright, supes fans, if you just binged the explosive finale of Gen V Season 2 on Prime Video, you're probably buzzing with questions. Specifically, is our favorite crew from Godolkin University coming back for another semester of chaos? And what does all that blood-bending and Vought-fighting mean for the grand finale of The Boys?

We've been digging through the latest intel from show creators, and while Amazon hasn't officially given a thumbs-up (or down) for Gen V Season 3 just yet, there's a lot to unpack. Get ready, because the future of this gritty superhero universe might just be in your hands!

Will 'Gen V' Season 3 Actually Happen? The Ball's in Your Court, Supes Fans!

So, let's cut right to it: is Gen V getting a Season 3? The short answer is, "not officially, but maybe!" Unlike the Season 2 announcement, which came halfway through Season 1, Prime Video is playing coy this time around. But here's the encouraging news: Gen V co-creator Eric Kripke, who also brought us The Boys, has confirmed that he and his team already have a fantastic plan for a third season.

There's just one catch – and it's a familiar one in the streaming world: viewership. Kripke was pretty direct in interviews, urging fans to stream Season 2 now if they want to see more. "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," he told The Wrap Pro. "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."

It's a business, after all, and Prime Video needs to see that the audience is showing up. Luckily, Gen V Season 2 kicked off strong, racking up an impressive 424 million viewing minutes in its first week back in mid-September. That's a solid start, but the momentum needs to continue.

What Went Down in the 'Gen V' Season 2 Finale and How It Sets Up 'The Boys' Final Chapter

For those who've seen the Season 2 finale (and seriously, if you haven't, SPOILER ALERT!), you know things ended on a massive cliffhanger that directly ties into The Boys. We saw Marie Moreau really master her blood-control powers, leading to the definitive (and explosive) demise of Thomas Godolkin – the supe who actually created Homelander.

This big moment isn't just for shock value. Kripke confirmed that the events of Gen V Season 2 set the stage for the upcoming fifth and final season of The Boys. Marie and her friends end up joining the resistance alongside Annie/Starlight and A-Train, hinting at a much larger conflict brewing. According to Kripke, The Boys Season 5 will pick up "roughly six months" after the Gen V Season 2 finale. And the spoiler? "Not well," for the resistance, suggesting a tough road ahead.

The Power of Marie Moreau and the Heartbreak of Andre Anderson

Speaking of Marie, her powers are seriously leveled up. Kripke described her abilities as controlling blood "down to the cellular level," capable of healing, making blood combustible, or even using it as a weapon. He even suggested her powers are "more powerful" than Victoria Neuman's, which is a huge deal for the fight against Homelander. However, Kripke also stressed that Marie isn't a "deus ex machina" solution; she's still growing and learning to control that raw power, which promises more dramatic arcs.

On a more somber note, Season 2 of Gen V also had to navigate the tragic loss of cast member Chance Perdomo, who played Andre Anderson. Perdomo died in a motorcycle accident on March 30, 2024, before filming began. The showrunners made the decision not to recast his role, instead incorporating his character's absence into the storyline as a way to honor the actor's spirit. This sensitive handling added an extra layer of emotional weight to the season.

The Broader 'The Boys' Universe: What Else is Cooking (and What's Not)

While Gen V is fighting for its future, the wider The Boys universe is still expanding, albeit with a few casualties along the way.

'The Boys Presents: Diabolical' Gets Canceled

Here's the unfortunate news for fans of the animated shorts: The Boys Presents: Diabolical will not be getting a second season. Kripke confirmed this, stating that despite the creative team's enthusiasm (and a 97% Rotten Tomatoes score!), the "viewer numbers weren't there to justify a second season." While a shame, given its unique anthology format and contributions from a variety of talent like Seth Rogen and Garth Ennis, it seems it didn't quite capture the audience needed to continue.

'Vought Rising' and 'The Boys: Mexico' Are Still Coming!

But don't despair! The live-action spinoffs are very much alive. Vought Rising, a prequel series, is currently in production. This show will delve into the early days of Vought International, and Kripke even expressed interest in bringing Ethan Slater (Thomas Godolkin from Gen V Season 2) into a potential Season 2 of Vought Rising. Imagine seeing Godolkin and Frederick Vought working together – that would be a blast!

And then there's The Boys: Mexico. This new spinoff is still in development, with Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer (who wrote Blue Beetle) penning the script. While details are scarce, we know it's set to feature Gael García Bernal and would take place after the fifth and final season of The Boys. Kripke hopes to see some familiar faces from the flagship series cross over into this new venture.

The Grand Finale of 'The Boys'

Of course, the original series, The Boys, is gearing up for its fifth and final season in 2026. Kripke detailed the show's endgame, focusing on bringing satisfying conclusions to the core conflicts: Butcher vs. Homelander, the love story of Hughie and Annie, and the complex big brother/little brother dynamic between Butcher and Hughie. It sounds like they're aiming for a "surprising and emotional" finish to the saga that started it all.

The Future is Still Super-Bright for This Universe

So, while saying goodbye to The Boys after its fifth season will be bittersweet, the universe is clearly set to live on. Gen V, if renewed, has the potential to continue telling new stories in a post-Boys world, with Kripke teasing that the "universe post-The Boys Season 5 is such a fascinating universe, there’s a lot to explore." It sounds like it will be even more of a "wild west" where "anything goes," which would be a perfect playground for the Godolkin kids.

It's an exciting time to be a fan of this franchise. Just remember: if you want more Gen V, make sure you're streaming Season 2 on Prime Video!

"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."
