The season 1 finale of Gen V recently premiered. In an interview with Variety, showrunner Eric Kripke was asked about the timeline of Gen V in relation to The Boys. He said, “We try to keep the timeline super simple because all that folding-in-on-itself timeline stuff that I think other comic book universes find themselves having to do is just bewildering for me as a viewer. So it’s all very modular. It’s like there’s season 3 of The Boys, and then after that Gen V takes place, and then after that The Boys season 4 takes place. And then after that, Gen V season 2 takes place. It’s all more like cars on a train than it is a plate of spaghetti.” Season 1 of Gen V is on Amazon Prime Video now.
