Gen V Set for CCXP Mexico; Kripke: "Wonder What Else Might Happen?

The Boys' Eric Kripke teased that we might be getting some good stuff during the Gen V panel at CCXP Mexico 2025 on Saturday, May 31st.


Heading into the end of March, The Boys Showrunner Eric Kripke had some good news to pass along regarding how things were looking with the second season of Gen V. At that point, all the episodes were edited, with music, sound, and VFX still being worked on. The first trailer was being finalized, with a trailer and date announcement "coming soon." On a personal note, Kripke also added, "I think this season is better than S1 & will be worth the wait." Well, it appears we'll be learning a lot more about what's on the horizon on Saturday, May 31st, when Derek Luh, London Thor, Asa Germann, Jaz Sinclair, and Lizze Broadway check in with CCXP Mexico 2025. If that wasn't enough, Kripke dumped even more fuel on our dumpster fires of random speculation, sharing a look at the CCXP Mexico 2025 announcement key art, with the message, "Hmm. Wonder what else might happen? #GenV." Our first thought? We're getting a teaser trailer and possibly a release month. Our geek side is hoping that Kripje's note means that we could be learning more about the main series and the franchise's future.

Gen V Season 2: Eric Kripke Shares Some Thoughts…

Speaking with TVLine exclusively at the inaugural Gotham TV Awards, Kripke teased an "intense" season that gives the spinoff's writers a chance to really build upon the show's own universe. "It's really intense. It's fun to sort of find your legs in the second season of a show and really start digging into the story and the characters," Kripke explained, noting that the fourth season finale of The Boys "will lead right into" the second season of Gen V. And what about Godolkin University's newest dean –  Hamish Linklater's ( Manhunt, Midnight Mass ) "charismatic and charming" Cipher – who is "trained as a scientist" and is "politically brilliant, and has the trust and admiration of officials at the highest level"? According to Kripke, Cipher is someone to keep a careful eye on. "He's really scary," Kripke shared, adding, "I've wanted to work with [Hamish] forever. He was so unbelievable in [Midnight Mass]. He's a very complicated, mysterious character. I'm excited for people to see him."
