We are in production now. We’ve been in production for several weeks now, probably a month or two andI’m hoping that will be out next year.
How Will Gen V Season 2 Connect To The Boys?
What The Boys' Season 4 Finale Means For The Spinoff
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Gen V season 1 and The Boys season 4, including the finale.
Gen Vseason 1 endswith Marie (Jaz Sinclair) waking up in a mysterious room with Emma (Lizze Broadway), Jordan (London Thor), and Andre (Chance Perdomo). The four friends are being positioned to take the fall for all the bloodshed at Godolkin University, with Homelander (Antony Starr) having sided with Cate (Maddie Phillips) and Sam (Asa Germann), the real perpetrators. As is revealed inThe Boysseason 4, both Cate and Sam have become key recruiters for what is essentially Homelander’s growing Supe army, teasing how they could feature in season 2.
Perdomo tragically passed away in March of this year, withThe Boyscreator Eric Kripke confirming last month that Andre will not be recast and that the character will die on the show.
Cate and Sam’s appearance inThe Boys' season 4 finalesuggests thatGen Vseason 2 could feature some heavy crossover with the mothership show.Cate and Sam’s new alliance with Homelander and Vought means that they have a great deal of power at their disposal, positioning them as central antagonists in season 2. Marie and her friends, then, have seemingly become part of the larger conflict taking place inThe Boys, and it could mean that they end up crossing paths with Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and other characters.
This Homelander Scene Makes Gen V Season 2 Way More Important For The Boys' Ending
The Boys season 4 just connected two Gen V characters to the main series, making the story of Gen V season 2 more important to The Boys' ending.
Though more connections toThe BoysinGen Vseason 2 is certainly an exciting prospect, the storyline of the mothership show could also pose a problem for the spinoff. Homelander’s newfound position of power heading intoThe Boysseason 5 is sure to have major ramifications for the world of the show, and itcould be a struggle for the spinoff to maintain its own unique identity as this larger conflict subsumes all others. While many questions remain aboutGen Vseason 2, viewers can now be confident that answers will likely be provided next year when the series returns.
