The Boys Franchise Plans Spin-Offs Amid Diabolical Cancellation

Eric Kripke, showrunner of The Boys, has revealed plans for the franchise's future, including a continuation of Gen V with a Season 3 contingent on strong viewership of Season 2. The Boys Season 5 will pick up about six months after Gen V Season 2 concludes, and a new spin-off, The Boys: Mexico, is currently in development with a pilot script being written. However, The Boys: Diabolical, the animated spin-off, is unlikely to receive a second season due to insufficient viewer numbers despite internal support. Additionally, there are plans for a Season 2 of the prequel series Vought Rising, which also depends on the success of its first season. Kripke emphasized the importance of ratings to justify further production and expressed enthusiasm for exploring the expansive universe beyond The Boys Season 5, describing it as a "fascinating universe" with plenty of new stories to tell. He urged viewers to watch the shows promptly to support the franchise's continuation.
