'Gen V' Hasn't Been Renewed Yet—But There Is 'a Plan' for Season 3
That finale was literally explosive.
www.elle.comHere’s the latest on Gen V season 3 based on recent reporting:
Direct update
- Creator Eric Kripke has indicated there is a plan for Gen V season 3, but renewal hinges on strong viewership and streaming numbers for season 2. This is the clearest signal from the production side that a third season isn’t guaranteed yet but is actively contemplated if audiences show up [source reports around Oct 2025]. [cite]
What the outlets say
- Forbes and Elle pieces late in 2025 noted that Gen V had not been renewed at that time, but there was a stated plan for a potential Season 3 contingent on viewership performance. Kripke emphasized the show’s numbers as the deciding factor, describing a “plan for Gen V season 3” that would proceed if ratings justify it. [cite][cite]
- The Boys universe context: commentary around 2025–2026 suggested Gen V would continue alongside The Boys, with some discussion of a time jump and further expansion of the universe if season 3 happens. However, some updates also pointed to delays or a longer wait before any new episodes surface, potentially pushing a 2027 timeframe depending on production and VFX demands. [cite][cite]
What to expect if it happens
- If Gen V season 3 is greenlit, expect continued focus on Marie Moreau and the Godolkin University crew, likely with new antagonists and a shift in the school’s power dynamics, possibly aligning with the broader The Boys finale arc. A potential time jump could position Gen V to intersect with The Boys season conclusions. [cite][cite]
What fans can do
- To support a potential renewal, watch season 2 on Prime Video and keep up with official announcements from Amazon Studios and the Gen V producers. Numbers are cited as the primary factor in moving forward with a third season. [cite]
