Prime Video has had a big year so far with new projects, and it’s only set to draw more attention as the fourth season of Reacher looms in the shadows. The big-budget action show stars Alan Ritchson (War Machine), and although Season 4 has not even set an official return date, the show has already been picked up for Season 5. Prime Video also recently wrapped up the fourth season of Invincible, its hit animated superhero series led by Steven Yeun and J.K. Simmons. On the same day as the Season 4 finale, Prime Video confirmed that more episodes of the show would return before the close of 2027. The other big Prime Video series that’s been in the spotlight this year is The Boys, which officially concluded earlier this week after seven years and five full seasons.
Mileage has varied in The Boys’ final season, but the story of the franchise will continue next year with a new prequel show, Vought Rising, which is bringing back Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash to play Soldier Boy and Stormfront/Liberty. Vought Rising won’t be the first expansion from the world of The Boys, though. The franchise spun off for the first time back in 2023 with the premiere of Gen V, which returned for its second season late last year. However, Season 2 will serve as the end of the Gen V story, as the news broke a few weeks ago that it had been cancelled after two seasons. As fans continue to watch the final season of The Boys, they’re also checking out Gen V, which has led the young superhero spin-off to surge back into the Prime Video global top 10 in a handful of countries around the world.
Why Did Prime Video Cancel ‘Gen V’?
When the report surfaced online about Gen V’s cancellation, there were no specific reasons given as to why the show would not return for Season 3. Creator Eric Kripke has come and said that the show was not truly cancelled, but rather the story of the series was finished, and fans could expect to see the characters in other projects. Beyond Vought Rising, there are no Boys projects confirmed to be in active development, but news about future franchise expansions are almost certainly coming after The Boys series finale.
Check out both seasons of Gen V on Prime Video and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage out of The Boys universe.
