The show was created by Craig Rosenberg, Evan Goldberg and Eric Kripke and it followed a group of young adult “supes” enlisted at the Godolkin University School of Crimefighting, who are all competing for a chance to join The Seven.
Its second season wrapped up on Amazon Prime Video in October, setting up the fifth and final season of The Boys, which is airing now on the same streaming service. The final episode is scheduled for May 20.
Now, though, Prime Video have confirmed that Gen V will not be returning for a third season.
Characters from the show have been appearing in The Boys season five, and the show’s extended universe is still set to continue with the upcoming spinoff Vought Rising.
Kripke and Goldberg have said: “While we wish we could keep the party going another season at Godolkin, we’re committed to continuing the Gen V characters’ stories in The Boys season five and other Vought Cinematic Universe projects on the horizon. You’ll see them again.”
Vought Rising will be a prequel series, and it is expected to premiere in 2027 on Amazon. It will follow the origins of Vought in the 1950s, with Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash reprising their roles of Soldier Boy and Stormfront respectively. Other confirmed cast members include Mason Dye, Elizabeth Posey and Will Hochman.
Another spinoff show, The Boys: Mexico, is also rumoured to be on its way, with Kripke saying earlier this month that a pilot draft had been submitted to Amazon bosses. Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal are reportedly serving as executive producers, but it is unclear if they will star.
Gen V season two had to be largely rewritten following the untimely death of actor Chance Perdomo, who passed away in a motorcycle accident prior to filming.
