Even if Prime Video's mega-hit superhero satire The Boys is nearing its final chapter with Season 5, its viability as a franchise clearly still has some legs. That may be seen as ironic, given that this entire saga began as a skewering of the cinematic universes spearheaded by DC and Marvel. Still, so far, Eric Kripke's sprawling universe has proven to be worthwhile. While the first technical spin-off came in the animated non-canon anthology The Boys Presents: Diabolical, and the post-WWII prequel Vought Rising is yet to air, the first real test of this franchise's spin-off potential came with Gen V — an unexpectedly brilliant, character-driven college tale set in The Boys universe.
