According to The Boys' showrunner Eric Kripke, Gen V is rolling out right alongside The Boys' third season. That means stuff like Homelander's wrath and Victoria Neuman's political hustle with head-zapping antics will be popping up in the spinoff. "There's definitely crossover," Kripke revealed in a conversation with Deadline in July 2022.

Kripke even dropped a hint about some sneaky Easter eggs fans might want to keep an eye out for in the new series. He spilled the beans on which characters from The Boys are making a cameo in Gen V, including Soldier Boy. While the implications of this are uncertain, fans can take comfort in the knowledge that Gen V season two is already in production and will pick up after the events of The Boys season four.
