Gen V Finale Sets Stage for The Boys’ Final Season, Expected in 2026

Creator Eric Kripke says the story picks up roughly six months later with an underground resistance fighting back.

Overview

  • Prime Video has not announced a date for The Boys season 5, which finished filming July 1 and is anticipated to arrive in 2026.
  • Gen V season 2 concluded this week with a direct handoff that positions its core students to join the broader conflict in the flagship series.
  • Kripke describes season 5 as dropping viewers into a resistance-versus-regime struggle, with the narrative time-jumping from the spinoff’s events.
  • Gen V has not been renewed for season 3, with plans in place but a pickup dependent on current viewing numbers as showrunner Michele Fazekas exits for Law & Order: SVU.
  • Prequel series Vought Rising began production in early August and is expected to follow season 5, while Kripke does not expect the animated Diabolical to return.
