The Boys Spinoff 'Gen V' Likely Canceled but Future Shows Planned
Recent reports suggest that Amazon has not officially confirmed a third season for 'Gen V,' the popular spin-off of 'The Boys,' despite the show's success and a plan for continuation expressed by creators. Showrunner Eric Kripke indicated that a third season depends on viewer demand, emphasizing the importance of current season viewership to justify renewal. Similarly, showrunner Michele Fazekas mentioned multiple potential directions for a third season, including ongoing stories in the 'The Boys' universe. Meanwhile, the future of other 'The Boys' spinoffs remains promising. 'Vought Rising,' a prequel set in the 1950s, is in production, and 'The Boys: Mexico,' starring Gael García Bernal, is in development with the pilot script underway. Kripke also confirmed that 'The Boys: Diabolical,' an animated anthology series, will not return for a second season due to insufficient viewer numbers, despite its creative success and popularity among some fans. Kripke clarified that the main 'The Boys' series will continue until its final season in 2026, with plans for additional spin-offs like 'Vought Rising' and 'Mexico' to expand the franchise. The cancellation of 'Diabolical' marks a setback for fans of the animated side stories, but overall, the franchise remains active with multiple projects in the pipeline. The decision on 'Gen V' season 3 will likely depend on audience engagement, with creators optimistic about future installments if demand persists.
