As the fifth and final season of The Boys continues to release new episodes weekly, fans will undoubtedly be consoling themselves about the show coming to an end with the knowledge that the universe the show’s characters inhabits will continue.
Well, sadly, that universe just got a little smaller, as it has now been confirmed that college-set spin-off Gen V has been cancelled after two seasons.
The show’s second season debuted in October 2025, and ended with Jaz Sinclair’s Marie and her friends being recruited by Annie/Starlight and A-Train to join the fight against Homelander. They have not yet appeared in The Boys season 5, but will later in the season.
Gen V executive producers Eric Kripke and Evan Goldberg said in a statement, in reference to the show’s cancellation: “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 VCU projects on the horizon. You’ll see them again.”
While we already knew we would see them in The Boys, it is news that they will likely be seen in other VCU [Vought Cinematic Universe] projects.
Other spin-offs currently on the way include prequel series Vought Rising, which is set to premiere in 2027 and will focus on the early years of Soldier Boy and Stormfront, and The Boys: Mexico which is currently in development.
An appearance from the Gen V gang, which includes Marie, Lizze Broadway’s Emma, Maddie Phillips’s Cate, Derek Luh and London Thor’s Jordan, Asa Germann’s Sam and Keeya King’s Annabeth, would seem more likely in The Boys: Mexico than Vought Rising, given the timeline.
