Gen V Season 2 Reveals When It Takes Place in The Boys Timeline

by

Season 2 of Gen V is here, and it’s clear from the first few episodes that it plays a vital role in the overall story of The Boys. Like Season 1, Gen V takes place in the same universe and connects directly to the events of The Boys. This season seems even more closely tied to the main show’s storyline, making it essential viewing before Season 5 of The Boys, which will bring the series to a close.

Gen V Season 2 timeline with The Boys explained

Season 2 of Gen V takes place after the most recent season of The Boys (Season 4). The first season of Gen V was set between Seasons 3 and 4 of The Boys, and it appears Season 2 will happen between Seasons 4 and 5 of the original series.

Season 4 of The Boys ended around January with Homelander gaining control. The events of Gen V then begin roughly eight months after that, coinciding with the start of the school year at Godolkin University.

Gen V takes place after the events of The Boys, giving the new show time to develop its own story while still fitting into the overall universe of the original series.

Starlight’s appearance in the initial episodes confirms a strong link between the two shows. What happens in the spinoff could directly impact the story of the final season of The Boys.

I’m really excited about how Gen V is connecting to The Boys right now – everything happening feels important to the bigger story. But knowing The Boys is ending after next season makes me wonder if Gen V will then start heading in a completely new direction from its third season onwards. It’s a bit bittersweet, but I’m curious to see where they take it!

There is still a lot to unfold before fans reach that point.

The first three episodes of Gen V are now streaming on Prime Video.
