It's official! The upcoming final season of Amazon Prime's The Boys will feature actors Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins as guest stars.

These actors are perhaps best known for their starring roles alongside The Boys regular, Jensen Ackles, in the cult classic 2005 show, Supernatural. With Eric Kripke being the showrunner for The Boys and the original showrunner and creator of Supernatural, it makes sense to see some actor crossover. Besides Ackles, the two shows share Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Joe Kessler & John Winchester), Rob Benedict (Splinter & Chuck/God), Alexander Calvert (Rufus & Jack), and Jim Beaver (Bob Singer &… Bob Singer). And those are just the big ones. At this point, the question becomes why they haven't brought on Jared and Misha sooner.

We can talk all we want about scheduling conflicts and actor fallout, and I'm sure those things definitely played a part, but I think it's bigger than that. You can...

The boys are back together… on The Boys.

It was announced on Wednesday that Prime Video’s hit superhero series will host a good-sized Supernatural reunion, when both Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins join former castmate Jensen Ackles during its farewell run.

Kahyun Kim has become a fan-favorite on St. Denis Medical as the quick-witted and confident nurse Serena. The NBC mockumentary has been a big network break for the star known for roles in projects such as Cocaine Bear. Continuing the momentum, Kim takes on a different role for the upcoming supernatural thriller Double Exposure., which premieres February 18. In the movie she plays Lora, who enters a relationship with Peter (Alexander Calvert), a struggling photographer who can’t seem to get over feeling guilty over the loss of his first love Sara (Caylee Cowan), a model who went down a dark road. However, not everything is as it appears in this twisty film written, produced and directed by Howard Goldberg. Here Kim opens up about the unique project and the success of St. Denis Medical.

Supernatural was an iconic show not just because of its leading circle of talent (although we love them too), but also because of the recurring guest stars who would pop in and out along the way. While Sam (Jared Padalecki), Dean (Jensen Ackles), Castiel (Misha Collins), and other plot-driving characters are considered the faces of the series, their supporting pals packed just as much of a punch. Over the weekend during the Supernatural panel at MegaCon Orlando, at which Collider’s Maggie Lovitt was in attendance, a lineup that included Padalecki, Jim Beaver, Samantha Smith, Alexander Calvert, DJ Qualls, Mark Sheppard, and Ruth Connell chatted about who they wish they could have spent some more on-screen time with. And, let’s just say, the first response was incredibly popular.

Jared Padalecki joined the cast of Supernatural when he was 23 years old. The fantasy horror series ran for 15 seasons, and, by the end of the show, Padalecki was 38.

Both Padalecki and Ackles, who played Sam and Dean Winchester, respectively, were young when the show started. The show's loyal fandom kept it on the air for so long, while the stars grew up, got married, and started their own families. During the Megacon Orlando, Jared Padalecki highlighted the importance and sacrifices he's made for Supernatural, per Cbr, who was at the convention.

Padalecki: “I think 20 years ago today, we were shooting the pilot. There were a lot of sacrifices. There’s been a lot of sh*t. But in hindsight, I’m so grateful to the [fans] because I was public with what I was going through and you were all supportive.‗ Cbr (@Cbr) February 9, 2025

The Supernatural finale brought an end to 15 years of The CW series, ending the Winchester brothers' story on their own terms in an episode filled with nostalgia, memories, and respect for the characters and the audience. After 15 seasons of Supernatural, the show finally came to a close on November 19, 2020, with the final episode, season 15, episode 20, "Carry On". In some ways, the penultimate episode of Supernatural felt like the finale of the series, while the actual finale seemed like it would be more of a coda.

Season 15, episode 19, "Inherit the Earth", is the culmination of many of the storylines in the series, including the depowering of Chuck Shurley/God (Rob Benedict), the transformation of Jack (Alexander Calvert) into the new God, and the sacrifices of Rowena (Ruth Connell) and Castiel (Misha Collins). Most importantly, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) have now been freed from Chuck's influence and can choose their own journey.

Some viewers may say Supernatural lost steam in its last few seasons, but certain episodes prove otherwise. Running for an impressive fifteen seasons, Supernatural delivered over 325 episodes of television from 2005 to 2020. While some of those episodes were bound to be weaker than others, Supernatural maintained a surprisingly high caliber of storytelling throughout all fifteen seasons. Creator Eric Kripke left after season 5, which ended with the near-perfect season finale, "Swan Song." While Supernatural may have dipped slightly in quality after Kripke's exit, it soon found its footing again and continued to deliver consistently solid television.

From ghosts and vampires to angels and demons, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) Winchester went up against too many monsters to count throughout Supernatural's fifteen seasons. With their relatable sibling dynamic and compelling character journeys, Sam and Dean made Supernatural worth watching even during its weakest episodes. Brilliant supporting characters like Castiel (Misha Collins...

Supernatural chronicles the adventures of brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) Winchester as they roam the United States protecting people from things that go bump in the night. Throughout the show's fifteen seasons, the hunters clash with vampires, ghouls, and sometimes even God Himself. Some of their most memorable and consequential battles take place during the shows' season finales.

A truly amazing finale weaves a season's worth of plot threads into a gripping and emotionally relevant hour of television while also throwing open the door to the next stage of the story. Pulling off such a feat is no easy task, but Supernatural manages, sometimes more successfully than others.

Jensen Ackles, best known for his role as Dean Winchester in the long-running CW series, Supernatural, has been a fan-favorite actor for over a decade now. His impressive acting skills and tough charisma were further showcased when he joined the cast of Prime Videos acclaimed superhero series, The Boys, where he played Soldier Boy. Now, the actor has once again piqued the interest of his devoted fanbase with his latest project, a Prime Video thriller series titled Countdown.

Ever since news broke out about Ackles involvement, fans have eagerly been waiting for more details about Countdown. And recently, the star took to Instagram to share a series of behind-the-scenes images from the sets of the upcoming show. These images feature other cast members like Jessica Camacho, Ulti Latukefu, and even series creator Derek Haas. In his caption, Ackles wrote, Quick little update on set. We are well on our way here and having a blast.

The Boys is one of the best shows on Prime Video right now. The problem is there are four seasons that are eight episodes long, and that’s it. You’ll get through that fast!

You can watch Gen V, the spin-off of the series. Again, there’s one season of that right now. It doesn’t take long to work through it. So, you need to find more shows that are like The Boys to watch.

This is a series that is more than just superheroes and vigilantes going up against each other. There are elements that touch on real-world politics, a discussion about relationships, and a touch on grief and loss throughout the series. There isn’t quite something that will check every single box at the same time, but there are some great shows out there that work for many.

In a development that’s sure to excite fans of both “Supernatural” and “The Boys,” discussions are underway for Jared Padalecki to make an appearance in the fifth and final season of Amazon Prime Video’s hit superhero satire. Eric Kripke, creator of both shows, has confirmed that talks are actively ongoing, potentially setting the stage for a reunion between Padalecki and his former “Supernatural” co-star Jensen Ackles.

Kripke, speaking to Entertainment Weekly, expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of bringing Padalecki into “The Boys” universe. “The value of that is to break the internet,” Kripke said. “So we’ll see whether it’s right for the story. But yes, it’s occurred to me that putting those two in a scene together would destroy much of the world, and that’s appealing.”

The timing seems fortuitous, as Padalecki’s schedule has recently opened up following the unexpected cancellation of his...

Showrunner Erik Kripke gives an update around Jared Padalecki appearing in a cameo role in season 5. The schedules of the actors make it look likely a Supernatural reunion will be able to happen. Kripke knows that reuniting Padalecki with Jensen Ackles would "break the internet."

The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke provides an update on Jared Padalecki appearing in the series. With Jensen Ackles playing the role of Soldier Boy in The Boys and in the spinoff series Gen V, there has been a great deal of interest in Padalecki joining the franchise as well to reunite with his Supernatural co-star. Season 5 has been confirmed to be The Boys' final season, meaning it is the last opportunity for the Sam and Dean Winchester actors to reunite before the main series' conclusion.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kripke, the creator of Supernatural, expressed his eagerness to make a reunion happen, and...

Warning: spoilers ahead for The Boys season 4, episodes 1-3.

Rob Benedict's role in The Boys pushes the boundaries of taste and changes how audiences view his character from Supernatural. The choice to cast an actor who previously portrayed God in Supernatural makes The Boys season 4's Splinter even more shocking. Alexander Calvert's also played God in Supernatural, and also experienced a shocking full-frontal scene in The Boys' universe when appearing as Rufus in Gen V.

From dairy products to Ant-Man, The Boys has ruined a lot of things for a lot of people, and God from Supernatural is its latest victim. With Supernatural creator Eric Kripke serving as its showrunner, The Boys' cast has featured many Supernatural actors since debuting in 2019, including Jensen Ackles, Jim Beaver, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan among the most notable names.

Ackles could reunite with Morgan and Cohan in The Walking Dead universe, flipping their Supernatural roles. The post-apocalyptic setting of The Walking Dead could showcase Ackles' talent alongside familiar faces like Morgan and Cohan. Ackles might also reunite with Morgan in The Boys, setting the stage for future collaborations and displaying their chemistry.

Jensen Ackles could potentially be joining The Walking Dead universe, and his role would open up the opportunity to have two huge Supernatural reunions. After 14 years, The Walking Dead is still producing new content, and with numerous spinoff shows still ongoing, Ackles could be the franchise's next big addition. The Supernatural star has had some big appearances lately, as his latest show, Tracker, debuted to strong reviews while his role as Soldier Boy in The Boys provided some hilarious quotes and showcased his incredible range, setting him up for a potential appearance in the iconic zombie franchise.

Eric Kripke is open to a Supernatural reboot if a fresh story in the universe surprises him. The Winchesters' cancellation and Padalecki's schedule hint at a possible reboot. Kripke's desire to include Padalecki in his work suggests Sam Winchester could return.

A potential Supernatural reboot gets the seal of approval from Eric Kripke. Kripke is the series creator for the hit supernatural fantasy show Supernatural, as well as the superhero series The Boys. Supernatural originally ran for 15 seasons across 2005 to 2010, and featured a leading cast including Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Jim Beaver, Misha Collins, Mark Sheppard, and Alexander Calvert. Supernatural also spawned the spinoff series The Winchesters, which ran for a single season on the CW.

As per an interview with Collider, Kripke speaks on the potential for a Supernatural reboot. When asked about the potential for a reboot, Kripke seemed fairly open minded. He said that he love[s] that...

The tallest Supernatural cast member is Jared Padalecki at a towering 6 foot 4, making him quite the dominating presence on screen. Despite his impressive height, Jared Padalecki's character Sam Winchester doesn't need protection, often handling villains on his own. The smallest cast member is Lauren Tom, standing at only 5 foot 1, proving that size doesn't determine toughness in Supernatural.

Supernatural spent 15 seasons following Dean (Jensen Ackles) and the much taller Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) as they battled angels, demons, and monsters, but many fans wondered "How tall is Jared Padalecki?" Dean put it upon himself to protect the younger of the two Winchester brothers, but Sam proved time and time again that he didn't need a protector because he was powerful enough on his own. He was also a good four inches taller than his big brother, and he cast a pretty imposing shadow over the creatures that they had to kill to protect humanity.

Could another Supernatural reunion be coming to Prime Video‘s hit series The Boys? According to former star Jared Padalecki, the future for such a possibility seems bright. The actor expressed interest in a potential cameo on the superhero dramedy helmed by Supernatural‘s Eric Kripke. In an interview with Collider, Padalecki said of Kripke, “Yeah, he has reached out to me.” Sergei Bachlakov/Warner Bros./Everett Collection As viewers of The Boys already know, Kripke hasn’t been afraid to cast stars from Supernatural. Padalecki’s onscreen brother Jensen Ackles joined the mix as Soldier Boy in Season 3. Meanwhile, Alexander Calvert made an appearance in spinoff Gen V, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan is slated to play a prominent role in Season 4.

“Our hearts are with Chance’s loved ones as we grieve this shocking loss.

Supernatural can retcon the ending by resurrecting Dean, although it may not be the most creative or exciting path. Supernatural's next chapter can follow supporting characters in a spinoff series, offering the opportunity for cameos by Sam and Dean.

Although Supernatural ended after fifteen seasons back in 2020, the show's lead actors recently dropped a major hint that the show could be returning for another season, but the big problem is, how exactly are...

The Boys expanded its universe with Gen V. The spinoff takes place at Godolkin University, where the next generation of Supes trains to be heroes. Established in 1965, the school's prestigious alumni include members of The Seven. Gen V's first season introduced a spectrum of new students, most notably Golden Boy/Luke (Patrick Schwarzenegger), Emma (Lizze Broadway), Cate (Maddie Phillips), Andre (Chance Perdomo), Marie (Jaz Sinclair), Jordan (Derek Luh/London Thor), and Rufus (Alexander Calvert).

But nearby, underground, lies the Woods -- a hidden, top-secret facility where sinister experiments are conducted on renegade Supes. As it turns out, one of the test subjects is Luke's brother, Sam (Asa Germann). Luke believed his sibling had passed away due to his girlfriend, Cate, altering his memories with her incredible telepathic abilities. That tampering ultimately resulted in Luke committing suicide by exploding high above in the air. Broadway, Germann, and Schwarzenegger recently spoke to Cbr about outrageous moments,...

Supernatural season 16 would benefit from bringing back Castiel, as his role on Team Free Will was integral and his absence in the series finale disappointed fans. Jack's powers as the new God make it possible for him to resurrect Castiel, and his return would provide fans with more on-screen moments of the pair. Castiel's final monologue and confession of love for Dean was a let-down for fans. A potential season 16 could address their relationship and provide closure.

Although there's no definitive confirmation yet, Supernatural season 16 could only work if one dead character makes a return. Over its 15 years, Supernatural became the go-to fantasy series about monsters and demons. The show followed Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) as they navigated heaven, hell, and everything in between to keep the world and each other safe from supernatural threats. However, the Supernatural series finale left many fans dissatisfied because Dean, the...

With such a long-running series like Supernatural, it's not unfounded that over the course of 15 seasons and 327 episodes, there would be some characters who fall to the wayside. While some characters have fitting endings, others such as Mark A. Sheppard's Crowley were deemed particularly underwhelming by fans. The King of Hell had been a longstanding member of the cast for eight seasons and was killed off at the end of Season 12 in favor of new cast member Alexander Calvert, who played the Nephilim Jack Klein. But why did Crowley leave Supernatural, and why didn't Sheppard ever return? Well, the answers to those questions are a bit complicated.

Some shows would be far better had they ended with earlier seasons rather than the weaker seasons that did end up being their final runs. For example, True Blood should have ended after season 5, as the show's logical storylines became increasingly nonsensical and the departure of showrunner Alan Ball signaled its decline. Big Little Lies' second season was unnecessary and felt like a soap opera, failing to capture the initial spark of the first season's complex character dynamics and compelling suspense.

There are too many TV shows that have run way past their peak, refusing to end when they should have called it quits seasons ago. The temptation has always existed for networks and showrunners to squeeze every last bit of juice from a popular series, regardless of declining quality. Rather than ending these shows at their height, they are run into the ground through nonsensical plotlines and stagnant characters...

Villains like Crowley, the Master/Missy, and Grant Ward were complex and entertaining antagonists, but their undeserved redemption arcs took away from their complexity and credibility. Spike's redemption in Buffy the Vampire Slayer excused his past crimes and focused too much on his romance with Buffy, undermining his villainous era. Klaus Mikaelson's redemption in The Vampire Diaries and The Originals was unsatisfying because centuries of crimes cannot be wiped away, and he never truly improved his negative actions.

Villainous or unlikable characters can sometimes be the most complex in a show, but not all of them deserve the hero treatment they get. While there are some characters who can be redeemed, there are many whose redemption either ruined the stories or are just undeserved. If the redemption is poorly done, the stories may begin to lose credibility as characters are forced into a role that doesn't fit them.

Complex villains make for interesting characters.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Gen V season 1, episode 6.

Gen V features a Supernatural reunion in episode 6, with Jensen Ackles and two other former cast members making appearances. The Boys season 4 can have an even better Supernatural reunion with the confirmed addition of another alum to the cast. The chemistry between Ackles and this confirmed Supernatural star could lead to an exciting dynamic in The Boys season 4.

Gen V features a surprising Supernatural reunion in episode 6, but The Boys season 4 can top it with one much-anticipated team-up. The Boys spinoff brings a number of new supes into the fold. Gen V's cast of characters is made up of young heroes training at Godolkin University — and several of them are vying for prestigious careers at Vought. This makes it incredibly likely they'll show up in The Boys season 4. And several characters from The Boys have already made appearances in the Prime Video spinoff.

This article contains spoilers for Gen V season 1.

The first season of The Boys spinoff Gen V is coming to a close this week, and it seems like we’re in for a wild ride as the young supes of God U struggle to decide how to move forward after discovering the true nature of The Woods and its experiments.

With Dean Shetty (Shelley Conn) now dead at Cate’s (Maddie Phillips) behest, the threat of the virus seems to be quelled for now, but that doesn’t mean that Cate’s thirst for vengeance has. In the season finale preview, Cate and Sam (Asa Germann) band together to release the people being held in The Woods and seek justice for the atrocities committed against the young supes of God U. Their friends, however, don’t seem too thrilled by the gleam of violence in their eyes as the campus descends into chaos.

Gen V, like The Boys, features shocking penis scenes, but the show's showrunner incorporated them to resonate with both men and women in a way that came from real stories and experiences. Male nudity was unexpectedly featured more in The Boys, breaking the pattern of female nudity being more common in TV and movies. The shocking scenes in the show aimed for both shock factor and humor. Gen V takes a different approach by introducing phallic scenes more shockingly and frequently than The Boys to address women's experiences and not just for shock value or humor.

Gen V showrunner Michele Fazekas explains why the show coincidentally carries on The Boys' strangest tradition of featuring shocking penis scenes. The Boys spinoff shares many similarities with the main series, considering that both are dark superhero shows that tackle a world with corrupt superheroes called "supes." The main difference is that Gen V...

This article contains spoilers for Gen V episode 7.

Heads rolled (well popped) in the latest episode of Gen V, as Prime Videos’s The Boys spinoff delivered an action-packed penultimate episode that tied neatly into its bigger brother. The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke has already confirmed (via EW) that the Gen V finale will include a “handoff” to The Boys season 4, and with some significant cameos during “Sick”, things are starting to come together.

The Gen V trailer teased the return of Claudia Doumit’s Victoria Neuman, with the head-popping politician stopping by Godolkin University to put one of her sinister schemes into play. Having thrown Stan Edgar (Giancarlo Esposito) under the bus in The Boys season 3, she’s now on the way to the White House as a vice presidential candidate. Although we were on the money that Neuman was the mysterious benefactor of Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair), that...

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Gen V episode 6!

Gen V episode 6 reunites three Supernatural actors, Jensen Ackles, Maddie Phillips, and Alexander Calvert, in a twisted and surprising way. Jensen Ackles and Maddie Phillips appear together in Supernatural season 14, episode 6, and now share the screen again in Gen V episode 6. Alexander Calvert also makes an appearance in Gen V, playing a pervy psychic named Rufus who interacts with Maddie Phillips' character, Cate.

Gen V episode 6 is full of stars, with the story stealthily featuring a gross three-way Supernatural reunion. While the universe of The Boys is populated with big-name actors, the series notably pulls from the cast of Supernatural, with three actors from the series being brought over for Gen V. While they have been running around the franchise for a while, the former Supernatural actors finally reunited in Gen V episode 6, and here's how.

Cowan portrays Sara, a charismatic and hopeful young woman who’s just starting out in a modeling career.

And just like that, we’re in the homestretch of The Boys‘ first spinoff Gen V. With only eight episodes in total, the upcoming episode six makes the beginning of the end for this story about the young supes at Godolkin University.

In true Boys fashion, things have been quite violent so far with the self-immolation of Golden Boy (Patrick Schwarzenegger) kicking off a mystery for our heroes Marie (Jaz Sinclair), Emma (Lizze Broadway), Cate (Maddie Phillips), Andre (Chance Perdomo), and Sam (Asa Germann) to solve. If that weren’t harrowing enough, episode 5 revealed the culprit of the gang’s memory issues and even set up the surprise return of a beloved Boys character in the form of Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy.

Here’s everything you need to know before diving into episode 6 of Gen V.

The mind-swipe twist in episode 5 of Gen V reveals that Cate, not Rufus, is behind the memory wipe, but this doesn't mean she's evil. Cate is a complex character with hidden powers and a connection to Marie. Her role in manipulating the kids is revealed, but co-showrunner Michael Fazekas teases she may not be an evil person. Cate's involvement with Vought raises questions about her true intentions, and it's unclear if she is a villain or a victim.

Gen V co-showrunner Michael Fazekas breaks down what's happening with the mind-swipe twist in episode 5 and what it means for the show's future.

The college-age characters on "Gen V" have some powers that are pretty unique from those we've seen on its parent show, "The Boys." The most mysterious powers, however, belong to Marie (Jaz Sinclair). Sure, we've seen blood-bending in various forms before in other media, but the full extent of Marie's capabilities has yet to be seen. Each episode sees her revealing more elements of her abilities, because an attunement to blood is going to be really powerful. A whole lot of living things are chock-full of the stuff, including humans, which makes her a serious possible threat. Many other supes have some kind of restrictions to their abilities but the only thing that could really short out Marie seems to be losing too much of her own blood, which hasn't come close to happening yet. 

In episodes 4 and 5 of "Gen V," Marie's blood...

Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers for Episode 5 of “Gen V,” titled “Welcome to the Monster Club,” now streaming on Prime Video.

Even superheroes can party a little too hard.

The heroes of “Gen V” wake up wondering what the hell happened last night in this latest episode, but what seems like some alcohol-induced memory loss turns out to be diabolical mind wiping. The culprit comes from within our core group of heroes, when it’s revealed that Cate (Maddie Phillips) was erasing people’s memories on Dean Shetty’s (Shelley Conn) command.

Last week’s episode ended abruptly, just as Marie (Jaz Sinclair), Emma (Lizze Broadway), Jordan (London Thor and Derek Luh), Andre (Chance Perdomo) and Cate were close to getting answers on the mysterious supe program called The Woods. But suddenly, the screen cut to black and the heroes found themselves waking up at a wild house party,...

The article contains spoilers for Gen V episode 4, "The Whole Truth." The article also discusses topics of sexual assault.

Gen V's gross explosion scene involving a penis isn't just for shock value; it explores the serious issue of violence and assault on college campuses. The show accurately portrays the perpetrator as a loathsome character and offers a satisfying twist of justice, adding dark humor to the narrative. While Gen V incorporates some heavy and uncomfortable scenes, it also addresses serious topics like self-harm and eating disorders with realism and empathy, creating a balanced viewing experience.

Gen V executive producers Eric Kripke and Michele Fazekas explain episode 4's gross explosion scene and its significance. The Boys spinoff focuses on students at a university for supes. While The Boys is known for its disgusting, shocking, and gory scenes, Gen V is giving it a run for its money. The spinoff amps up the blood,...

Warning: The article contains spoilers for Gen V. The article also contains a brief discussion about sexual assault.

Supernatural alum Alexander Calvert takes on a gruesome and unlikable role in The Boys universe, where his character's penis explodes, subverting expectations from his previous lovable character in Supernatural. Calvert auditioned for the role and impressed the showrunners, not solely because of his Supernatural connection, but because he was great. The casting of Calvert brought a sense of glee to creator Eric Kripke, knowing that it would be a surprising and subversive role for Supernatural fans.

Gen V executive producer Eric Kripke explains the casting of Supernatural alum Alexander Calvert in a very gruesome and unlikable role. Calvert is best known for his portrayal of Jack Kline, who eventually ascends to godly status by the end of Supernatural. In his most recent television stint, however, Calvert plays the loathsome God U student Rufus.

The creators of Prime Video’s Gen V are explaining that “c-cksplosion” and how they approached constructing a giant penis for the superhero sex scene.

In Episode 4 of the The Boys spinoff show, Marie (Jaz Sinclair) blacks out, and when she wakes up, Rufus (Alexander Calvert) is clearly about to assault her.

To protect herself, she uses her powers to swell Rufus’ penis, and, well, it ultimately explodes.

There’s also a sex scene in the first episode where Emma (Lizzie Broadway) shrinks and climbs on the comparatively enormous penis of Liam (Robert Bazzocchi).

Executive producers Eric Kripke and Michele Fazekas shared all the insider information during an interview with Variety.

Michele explained, “We never came into this saying, ‘We want to top The Boys. That scene, yes, is about a c-cksplosion, but it came from a lot of women in my writers’ room...

Spoiler Alert: This article contains minor spoilers for Episode 4 of “Gen V,” now streaming on Prime Video.

It wouldn’t be “The Boys” universe without an exploding penis, right?

In its first four episodes, Prime Video’s spinoff “Gen V” managed to outdo “The Boys” in the sheer number of on-screen penises shown — and also ushered in the first-ever “cocksplosion” seen on TV. Naturally, we had to speak with executive producers Eric Kripke and Michele Fazekas about it.

In Episode 4, Marie (Jaz Sinclair) is looking for Emma (Lizze Broadway), her missing roommate who shrank down super small to investigate the mysterious Woods supe program. To get answers on her whereabouts, Marie turns to a classmate named Rufus (Alexander Calvert), a creepy psychic who offers to find Emma — but suggests Marie pays for his services sexually. Marie considers ditching Rufus, but he relents and gives her some info on Emma.

Spoilers for "Gen V" follow.

As we've learned through three seasons of "The Boys," if you live in a universe filled with superheroes you should never, ever, have sex with them. They'll accidentally crush your skull during cunnilingus, or worse. It's not that they're bad people exactly; it's that they're not always as in control of their powers as you'd think. And if they spend most of their time among other Supes who can handle the occasional sex-related mishap, they can often forget how fragile a regular human body is.

But even when it comes to Supe-on-Supe sexual relationships, the power imbalance still causes plenty of trouble. When Homelander engaged in a sexual relationship with Doppelganger, a shapeshifter who could transform into his former lover Madeleine Stillwell at will, all it took was one wrong move for Homelander to end up snapping Doppelganger's neck. Even when the Supe isn't accidentally harming you,...

This review contains spoilers for Gen V episode 4.

“The Whole Truth,” the fourth episode of Gen V, features a dick joke in its first act, a dick joke in its third act, and wedged in-between is a dick exploding like a bloody piñata. Ladies and gentlemen, The Aristocrats …. I mean, The Boys!

The Boys universe has always operated under the ironclad comedic principle of “pee-pees are funny” and Gen V seems to be continuing that tradition. And honestly, it’s hard to argue they’re wrong for doing so. Pee-pees are indeed funny! We’ve seen this borne out in the season 3 opener of the flagship series which saw shrinking supe Termite entering an actual human penis and inadvertently blowing it up (along with the body it belongs to) by a sneeze-triggered rapid growth. Just last week on Gen V we saw another shrinking supe Emma (Lizze Broadway) engage with...

This article contains spoilers for Gen V Episodes 1 – 3.

It’s completely understandable if you’re having trouble remembering what happened in the first three episodes of Gen V, the teen-set spin-off of superhero satire The Boys. After watching Emma aka Little Cricket (Lizzie Broadway) using her powers to appease a partner’s fantasies, everything else kind of falls away.

But like its parent series, Gen V has a lot more going on than just shocking sex and violence. By focusing on the next generation of Supes, the teens who received powers after being injected with Compound V as children, Gen V adds a layer of soapy drama to the social satire and superhero action.

When Does Gen V Episode 4 Premiere?

The fourth episode of Gen V comes to Amazon Prime Streaming on October 6, 2023. Unlike the first three episodes, which dropped at the same time, episode 4 will stand alone, as will...

CinemaBlind’ Review – 90%

Gen V definitely has one of the best origin stories for a leading character in any movie or TV series. Spin-off to the hit anti-superhero series The Boys, Gen V is set in Vought’s Godolkin University aka “God U” and it follows the story of a group of young supes trying to learn how to be real heroes. But it is set in The Boys universe, so it couldn’t just be that as we see our heroes getting tangled in a conspiracy that might be too big for them to handle on their own.

Created by Eric Kripke, Evan Goldberg, and Craig Rosenberg and show run by Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, Gen V has all the qualities The Boys fans were hoping for and a bit more. The spin-off series comfortably builds on The Boy’s themes with its own weird and fresh spin. The...

Set in Vought’s Godolkin University School of Crimefighting, the series sees some young superheroes getting tangled in a conspiracy that might be too big for them to handle.

A group of young adult ‘supes’ are thrown together and must fight for domination in a battle royal-esque event in the upcoming The Boys spinoff, Gen V, for which a new trailer has now been unveiled. Much like its predecessor, Gen V comes courtesy of Prime Video, with the first season all set to debut on the streaming platform later this month. You can check out the newly released trailer for Gen V below.

The official synopsis for Gen V reads:

“From the world of The Boys comes Gen V. Young, aspiring heroes have their physical and moral boundaries put to the test while competing for Godolkin University's highly coveted top ranking. When the university’s dark secrets come to light, the students must come to grips with what type of heroes they are going to become.”

Developed by many of the minds behind the critically acclaimed comic book series The Boys,...

Since Vought International is probably behind the supes school at the center of The Boys spinoff Gen V, it should come as no surprise that sinister things are happening behind the scenes of the institution in a newly released trailer for the series.

While one character warns of evil people at the school, the students band together and show off their powers, even as they struggle with the fact that they’re “all f–ked up.”

Who's ready to see "The Boys" head to college? Amazon Prime Video's spin-off of the graphic superhero series is finally arriving this fall, and we finally have a first look at it. On Dec. 3, 2022, the streamer premiered a teaser trailer for the show, titled "Gen V," at the Brazilian Comic Con Experience, and the new series looks every bit as diabolical as the original. While the voiceover promises the students of Godolkin University that the campus will offer them a "safe space to thrive," it appears matriculating at this college is dangerous business.

On July 24, the streamer released another teaser trailer showing Marie Moreau, played by Jaz Sinclair, as a blood-bender who apparently has a "target on her back." We also catch glimpses of Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Clancy Brown.

The series preview, of course, features blood, guts, but also . . . puppets? Without context, it's hard to tell exactly...
