"I Have Learned My Lesson": The Boys Creator Retracts 5 Season Plans After Gen V Season 2 Renewal

The Boys creator Eric Kripke says he’s learned his lesson about predicting how many seasons a show will last, citing one memorable television example that changes his view about Gen V. Even though Prime Video’s superhero satire franchise tends to be limited to eight episodes, Kripke and the rest of the team that works on The Boys and Gen V are able to move plots seamlessly. This gives the franchise an expertly crafted feel that avoids the issues of other plodding miniseries that often feel like an overextended movie. That’s because Kripke has a lot of experience working in television, notably creating the monster-hunting drama Supernatural which ran for 15 seasons.
