The Boys spinoff’s surprise cancellation just got a major update.
Franchise boss Eric Kripke has offered new information and a future update about Gen V after it was canceled, unpacking the series’ untimely fate.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Kripke explained how he was not involved in the decision to cancel Gen V after season 2, having had a plan in place for where season 3 would go.
See what Kripke had to say below:
I did not cancel the show. One, I don’t have the power to do that. Two, I was fighting to keep the show, almost more than anybody else on Earth. So I’m as bummed as everybody else out there. We’re still hopeful we can find a way to do [the season 3 concept we had in mind]. So, unfortunately, I can’t share it. This idea that Marie is powerful, but that’s not the end of her story. She has to learn how to control it. It’s very early days, because we’re focusing on getting Vought Rising out into the world, but Amazon has expressed an interest and they want to hear more potential stories in the world. So we’re internally brainstorming a couple different ideas. We’ll see which ones get traction, but they all have the opportunity to absorb at least some of the Gen V gang, and that’s very much by design. [The cancellation is] a bummer, [but] these things are based on business decisions that are above my pay grade, among Amazon. It’s based on amount of viewers versus how expensive the show is to make, and does it make business sense for them, ultimately? And, unfortunately, they decided that it didn’t.
More to come…
