Gen V Canceled: What It Means for The Boys Finale and Vought Rising

Prime Video has canceled Gen V, bringing the college-set The Boys spinoff to an end after Season 2. In this quick Geek Freaks Headlines episode, Frank breaks down why the cancellation is disappointing but not entirely surprising, especially with the Gen V cast expected to appear in the finale of The Boys.

The episode also looks ahead to Vought Rising, the upcoming 1950s-set spinoff centered on Soldier Boy and a murder mystery inside the early days of Vought. Frank talks about how recent The Boys episodes may already be setting the table for that series while also questioning whether the main show is landing its final stretch.
