Confusing Timeline? Here's How 'The Boys' And 'Gen V' Intertwine
Gen V takes place after the fourth season of The Boys, while the story remains intricately intertwined.
The universe of The Boys continues to expand with multiple spin-offs. One major question among fans remains: where does Gen V fit into the timeline of the main series? With the second season, more clarity is now emerging.
The first season of Gen V occurred between the third and fourth seasons of The Boys. This created a clear bridge between both narratives. For the upcoming spin-off Vought Rising, a completely different angle, namely the 1950s, has been chosen. This shows that the franchise is increasingly diverging in time and theme, making it sometimes difficult for viewers to position the sequence of events.
The new season of Gen V directly follows the events of The Boys Season Four. The series begins with the new school year at Godolkin University, which takes place approximately eight months after the presidential elections and Inauguration Day from the main series. Thus, Gen V begins in August, while the impact of Homelander on society is still palpable.
This power takeover by Homelander plays a significant role in the storyline. In the wake of Season One, Marie and her friends are stuck, while Cate and Sam have now made their appearance in the Seven. Their choices and loyalties carry through into the second season, showing just how closely the series remain connected.
Although some viewers may hope for a more standalone plotline, Gen V remains strongly tied to the main series for now. Season Two already lays the groundwork for The Boys Season Five, which will conclude the first major chapter of the franchise. It is known that Starlight will make a cameo in the opening episode of Gen V, along with several other characters from the main series. This way, the universe becomes increasingly intertwined before it might develop into a more independent narrative later on.
