Eric Kripke, the creator of “The Boys” franchise’s spin-off series Gen V, recently shared an update about its second season on his social media platform. This news is sure to please fans of the Amazon Prime Studio series. In a tweet, Kripke indicated that the episodes have been edited and are now being worked on for music, sound effects, and visual effects. He also mentioned that they’re finishing up the first trailer and the release date and announcement will be made soon. According to Kripke, this season is even better than the first one and fans should find it worth the wait.

In the morning hours, Kripke shared an exciting update about Season 2 of ‘Gen V’, which swiftly garnered over 300,000 views, 8,000 likes, and 265 bookmarks. If you’re an early-riser and a passionate fan of ‘Gen V’, it’s quite possible that this was the first post to greet you as you logged in. What could be more invigorating than kickstarting your day with a Season 2 update? Indeed, Kripke managed to make your day special. It’s also clear that the creator and showrunner of ‘The Boys’ had anticipated that such a franchise series update would ignite curiosity about ‘The Boys’ fifth and final season (where no one is immune), and it appears he was well-prepared for the ensuing queries.

One fan responded to Kripke’s post by inquiring about updates on “The Boys” Season 5. Given that Kripke has likely fielded this question numerous times since the Prime series was announced, he didn’t hesitate to respond (or tantalize fans). His tweet read, “Halfway through shooting Season 5. The #VoughtRising writers are crafting exceptional scripts and new super suits are being developed. It’s all coming together.” This brief exchange has left fans of both series buzzing with anticipation.

‘Gen V’ Season 1 Has A 97% on Rotten Tomatoes

In simpler terms, “Gen V,” being a spin-off of “The Boys,” had a tough act to follow, but it handled it admirably. The show focuses on Jaz Sinclair as Marie Moreau, Chance Perdomo as Andre Anderson, and Lizze Broadway as Emma Meyer/ Little Cricket, who are young adult superheroes attending Godolkin University School of Crimefighting. They grapple with their moral dilemmas as they vie for the top spot and a chance to join The Seven, Vought International’s elite superhero team. As hidden truths about the school surface, they must decide what type of hero they aspire to be. Maddie Phillips (Cate Dunlap), London Thor, Derek Luh (Jordan Li), Asa Germann (Sam Riordan), and Shelley Conn (Indira Shetty) also feature in the series.

From the very first episode, it’s evident that season 1 was packed with intense action and gripping drama, earning it a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes. Tanzim Pardiwalla of Filmfare praised the show for its compelling narrative, stating, “Beyond the explosive action and heavy doses of gore, the series boasts strong character development and a well-crafted story.” Similarly, Katie Baker from The Ringer noted, “Gen V, similar to The Boys, revels in crafting extraordinary, exaggerated, larger-than-life characters and narratives.
