As fans get ready for the Season 2 finale of Gen V, series creator and showrunner of The Boys, Eric Kripke, has given an update on a potential Season 3. In a recent interview, the former Supernatural showrunner opened up about the future of the spin-off while also sharing insight into his plans for The Boys and the franchise as a whole.

Eric Kripke says he already has ‘a plan for Gen V Season 3’

While speaking to TheWrap, Kripke confirmed that he has already outlined plans for a third season of Gen V. However, the Hollywood veteran added that the series will only continue if the ongoing second season can amass a considerable viewership count.

“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,” Kripke noted.

In addition to discussing the prospects of Gen V Season 3, Kripke also explored the future of The Boys and its universe after the conclusion of the main show with its upcoming Season 5.

“[The Boys:] Mexico is just being developed right now. The pilot script is being written,” Kripke said of the recently announced spin-off. He then gave a disappointing update for fans of the only animated show of The Boys’ universe, stating, “I don’t think there’s going to be a Season 2 of Diabolical.”

Talking about the forthcoming prequel series Vought Rising, Kripke said that although they “have plans for a Season 2,” the project will only continue if enough viewers tune in to watch the debut chapter.

Kripke finally hinted at what is to come in the fan-favorite superhero franchise, stating, “I think the universe post The Boys Season 5 is such a fascinating universe, there’s a lot to explore. It’s so much more of the wild west in terms of, like, f—–g anything goes — without giving anything away. And I think that would be a blast to put the Gen V kids in the middle of.”

The eighth and final episode of Gen V Season 2 will arrive on October 22.
