The Boys creator Eric Kripke discusses how the season 4 finale will tie into Gen V season 2. After only appearing briefly in season 4, Gen V‘s Cate Dunlap (Maddie Phillips) and Sam Riordan (Asa Germann) arrive in a big way during the final minutes of the Boys season 4 finale. They’re a key part of the plan to separate the titular group, with Cate seemingly recruiting Frenchie (Tomer Capone) as Sam easily holds Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) back.
In a bonus video posted by Prime Video and tied to the recent season finale, Kripke talked about how Gen V season 2 will tie into the world established by The Boys. The creator and showrunner said the upcoming episodes of Gen V, which are currently in production, will offer an early look into a new world. Read the full quote below:
In terms of the whole VCU universe, Gen V will be the first glimpse into the new world that was created at the end of season 4. And so, they’re actually gonna get there even before we will. So, you’ll really get a first sense of what it’s like. And then, that will continue into season 5.
Gen V Season 2 Could Feature Regular Appearances From The Boys Cast
The Connection Between The Two Shows Could Become Closer
Plot details about Gen V season 2 remain under wraps. However, based on how The Boys season 4 ends, with Cate capturing Frenchie, and Sam seemingly doing the same to Kimiko, it stands to reason that those two characters could make the jump to Gen V. While the college-set spinoff has its own cliffhanger to address, it will be a priority to pave the way for The Boys season 5, which will be its last.
It could be the case that, before the fifth and final season of The Boys, either Sam or Cate will experience a significant shift. They could either go on a redemption arc, or perhaps at least one of them will perish while fighting for Homelander’s side. It also makes Gen V season 2 more essential, as audiences will likely want to tune into it as a bridge to new episodes of The Boys. It seems likely that whatever they end up doing in Gen V will impact the flagship show, or at least offer clues about what’s next for Frenchie and Kimiko.
It will be interesting to see what this means for the rest of the Gen V characters. Sam and Cate developed close relationships with all of them, with the finale leaving the heroes trapped in what looked to be a secret medical facility. It adds up to a lot of intrigue for the spinoff, which will have to juggle several different storylines in its sophomore installment. Whether it will also continue on after The Boys ends remainds to be seen, but future episodes will likely have offer some clues.
