Gen V, a spin-off from Amazon’s The Boys, isn’t getting a Season 3. The show, which focused on superhero students at the Godolkin University School of Crimefighting, has officially been canceled, according to Deadline.<\/a> There was some good news too, though: New series Vought Rising got a 2027 release date<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“While we wish we could keep the party going another season at Godolkin, we\u2019re committed to continuing the Gen V characters\u2019 stories in The Boys Season 5 and other VCU projects on the horizon,” said executive producers Eric Kripke and Evan Goldberg. “You\u2019ll see them again.”<\/p>\n

One of those projects is The Boys prequel spin-off, Vought Rising, a 1950s take on the dark superhero universe. Jensen Ackles is reprising his role as Soldier Boy for the series, and Aya Cash will return as Stormfront. <\/p>\n

Season 2 on Gen V ended a certain amount of closure, leading fans to speculate that the spin-off had run its narrative course. The final episode, “Trojan,” Tap to Reveal<\/p>\n

The news of Gen V’s definitive end comes as the fifth and final series of The Boys<\/a> is also airing. “I think it’s a show that demands an ending,” Kripke told IGN about The Boys. “You can’t just let it go forever and then peter out. You need it to have a definitive, explosive ending, because so much of it is about the battle between these two teams. And so to just let that keep going over and over again, each time it sucks a little bit of power and juice out of it. There’s only so many years that they can go after Homelander and The Seven and almost get there, but not quite, before people start to smell a rat a little bit. So it’s time to blow it up.”<\/p>\n

A Spanish-language The Boys spin-off set in Mexico is also currently in development.<\/a><\/p>\n
