\n\tAnchor The Boys<\/a> is not the only live-action series in Prime Video<\/a>\u2018s superhero franchise that has come to an end<\/a>. Spinoff Gen V<\/a> will not return for a third season. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe news, which comes six months after Season 2 of the YA drama set at the Godolkin University School of Crimefighting came to an end<\/a>, was expected. One of the Gen V stars, Asa Germann, recently booked a series regular role<\/a> on another streaming show, Paramount+\u2019s Frisco King. <\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Gen V is over and mothership The Boys is ending its five-season run on May 20, the franchise continues with spinoff Vought Rising<\/a>,<\/a> which is set to debut in 2027.<\/p>\n

\n\tAdditionally, due to the integrated Vought Cinematic Universe storytelling, characters from Gen V are featured on the current fifth season<\/a> of The Boys, which also is incorporating characters and other elements from Vought Rising. The former was set up in the Gen V Season 2 finale, where supes were recruited by The Boys\u2019 Annie January (Erin Moriarty) for the resistance against Homelander\u2019s dictatorship, which is at the heart of the Emmy-winning series\u2019 final chapter.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhile 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,\u201d said VCU executive producers Eric Kripke and Evan Goldberg. \u201cYou\u2019ll see them again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to Vought Rising, The Boys: Mexico remains in active development. All series in the franchise are produced by Sony Pictures Television, Amazon MGM Studios with Kripke Enterprises, Original Film, and Point Grey Pictures.<\/p>\n

\n\tGen V got off to a hot start, earning a Season 2 renewal<\/a> midway through its Season 1 run. The series suffered a tragic loss when one of its stars, Chance Perdomo, died in a motorcycle accident<\/a> on his way to the set in March 2024. As a result, production of the second season was delayed.<\/p>\n
