The second season of Gen V is officially in production, meaning fans don’t have to wait too long after the thrilling and gripping finale of the fourth season of The Boys.
After a tease earlier this month featuring Gen V star Jaz Sinclair, Amazon MGM Studios boss Vernon Sanders has confirmed the show’s second batch of episodes is now filming.
Sanders also confirmed the studio is open to more spinoffs of The Boys, especially now that the main show will end with its fifth and final season. However, the decision for more spinoffs is up to The Boys creator Eric Kripke, as per The Wrap.
“This is all about Eric Kripke. We’ve had this incredible success because of his vision and execution and he’s told us for awhile that he believes this should be a five-season series,” Sanders added. “Of course, we asked him, ‘Are you sure it can’t go on for more?’ And he gave it some thought, but came back to his original vision for this, so we want to honour that. And similarly, if there’s more to this universe, which would we love, that’s ultimately going to be about him leading the path there.”
Gen V is the only spinoff that’s been given an actual order, with The Boys: Mexico currently in the earliest stages of development with Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal attached to produce.
Production on the next installment of the college-set The Boys spin-off was supposed to kick off earlier this year, but was put on hold after the death of Chance Perdomo, who played Andre Anderson, in March. Prime Video has confirmed that the character will not be recast.
The first season of Gen V is now streaming on Prime Video while the second season has yet to set a release date. All four seasons of The Boys will be available to stream in their entirety on the same service this week with the release of the Season Four finale.
