Will TheBoys crossover with upcoming college spinoff GenV? Kripke says, 'we’re not spinning off characters into it, they just exist in the same universe.'
The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke talks about a potential crossover with the main series and its upcoming spinoff Gen V. The upcoming spinoff will take place in the same universe as The Boys and will still draw inspiration from The Boys comics that inspired the main series. The spinoff will star Jaz Sinclair, Lizzie Broadway, Chance Perdomo, Maddie Philips, and Shelly Conn.
The Boys takes place in a world where super-powered individuals are lionized by the world and are allowed to commit horrendous acts in secret. Gen V takes place in the same world and will follow a group of young adults with superpowers who are pitted against one another in deadly challenges at a university run by megacorporation Vought International. Gen V is currently shooting its first season and hasn't announced if any actors from the main series will appear yet.
With the superheroes in The Boys being international icons, it's possible that their faces and likenesses will appear in the series as part of the story or as mere mentions to ground audiences within the world established by the flagship series. With The Boys season 4 still in planning stages, it's doubtful that the two will see a direct crossover immediately.
The Boys remains one of the most audacious satires on television, and Gen V could benefit from a narrower focus and smaller scale, not having to encapsulate the fate of the world like its predecessor. However, it'll also need to replicate The Boys' commitment to character exploration without resorting to archetypes seen in media about college life.
