‘Gen V’ Stars Tease How the Season 2 Finale Sets Up a Potential Season 3 and ‘The Boys’ Season 5 [Exclusive]
Crossover Potential Between The Boys and Gen V
Now that Season 5 of The Boys has officially wrapped filming, with the creative team heading into post-production, fans have been keeping an eye on any and all news that will tease what might go down in the final season. Considering where we left off with the titular team of vigilantes and the leaders at Vought during the Season 4 finale, there’s plenty at stake — like the fate of the entire world, let alone the fate of those living in Homelander's (Antony Starr) America. However, before the final few episodes of the hit Prime Video series arrive on our screens sometime next year (hopefully), its ever-popular offshoot, Gen V, will give us an idea of what’s to come.
While speaking with series stars Jaz Sinclair and Lizze Broadway on the red carpet ahead of the Season 2 premiere of Gen V, Collider’s Aidan Kelley got the scoop about how each actress viewed the bridge formed by the show’s sophomore finale. While Broadway was sure to tell Kelley that she was completely in the dark about whether Gen V Season 2 worked better as a bridge between a potential third season and the fifth season of The Boys, revealing, “I don’t know anything, they keep everything under wraps,” she teased that the possibilities were endless for “both” projects to gain something from how things shake out. Without divulging too much information, she said, “I think The Boys and Gen V do a great dance with each other,” leaving us with the impression that Gen V’s follow-up season will serve as the foundation for Season 5 of The Boys.
Digging into things a bit deeper, Sinclair said that she believed the Gen V finale better set up The Boys Season 5, adding,
“I think we’ve done a really good 'tag, you’re it' situation. Their Season 3 set up our Season 1 and ours set up their four and their 4 set up our 2, and so I think we definitely set up their Season 5.”
Crossover Potential Between 'The Boys' and 'Gen V'
As fans already know, both Gen V and The Boys have crossed over into one another’s universes on more than one occasion. From what trailers have teased for the upcoming second season of the former, we know that along with the return of Chace Crawford’s The Deep, other characters from the flagship series like Erin Moriarty’s Starlight and Nathan Mitchell’s Black Noir will make their way into Gen V. When asked about the potential of her character, Marie Moreau, and the rest of the Gen V crew bleeding into the fifth season of The Boys, Sinclair held her cards close to her chest, giving Kelley an enthusiastic “I hope so!”
What makes these shows unique is the way they weave storytelling across different titles without losing their individual flavor. Gen V was designed to expand The Boys universe, but it never feels like just a spin-off. Instead, it brings fresh perspectives by focusing on younger characters dealing with superpowers in a high-stakes academic setting. This dynamic creates an exciting contrast to the politically charged and violent nature of The Boys, while still feeding into the same overall narrative.
Fans have often compared this crossover strategy to what Marvel achieved with its cinematic universe, but The Boys has carved its own lane. Rather than following a formula, it thrives on unpredictability, shock value, and satire. The connections between Gen V and The Boys aren’t just fan service; they actively deepen the stakes of the storyline. Every cameo or crossover has ripple effects that could impact how the final season of The Boys unfolds.
Another major aspect is character growth. Characters like Starlight, The Deep, and even Black Noir bring baggage from The Boys into Gen V, creating more layered storytelling. This approach also raises intriguing questions about how new Gen V heroes like Marie Moreau could shape or challenge the established power dynamics in The Boys Season 5. It keeps audiences guessing about alliances, betrayals, and who might rise to power in the chaos that Homelander has unleashed.
Season 2 of Gen V kicks off on Prime Video with a three-part premiere on September 17.

Book Review: "Human Monsters: A Horror Anthology" by Various Authors
Yes, it's horror again. I'm feeling kind of down and whenever I'm down I read horror because it makes me feel better. Have you heard about that study that states people who are in depression should watch and read horror in order to make themselves feel better? Yeah, I checked it out some time ago - you should too. Human Monsters is exactly what you think it is, it is about monsters who are human - those who lurk in the normal world, not in the shadows, not in the darkness - they stand right in front of us. They are us. Let's go through my favourite stories in the anthology...

Federal Reinforcements and Rising Tension in Minneapolis
Tension in Minneapolis has risen sharply in recent days as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced plans to deploy hundreds more immigration officers to Minnesota following the fatal shooting of a local woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. The move comes amid nationwide protests and deepening polarization over federal immigration enforcement efforts. The decision to send additional officers was publicly confirmed by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who said the reinforcements are meant to “ensure the safety” of ICE and Border Patrol personnel already in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area. Officials noted that more than 2,000 federal officers have already been stationed in the region as part of what the administration describes as its largest immigration enforcement operation ever. What Sparked the Deployment? The deployment follows the Jan. 7 fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer during an enforcement action in south Minneapolis. Good, a mother of three, was struck and killed by gunfire as she sat in her vehicle. Federal authorities have characterized the incident as a defensive action, saying the driver’s conduct endangered officers. However, local political leaders and community members strongly dispute that narrative. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and other officials have criticized federal accounts of what happened, pointing to bystander videos that they say contradict the claim that Good posed an active threat when she was shot. They have also condemned the broader federal immigration operation in the city, saying it has fostered fear and mistrust in local communities. The legal and investigative aftermath remains complicated. Minnesota authorities sought to investigate the shooting, but federal officials asserted exclusive jurisdiction, citing constitutional protections for federal officers. This has deepened frustration among state leaders who want greater transparency and local involvement in the inquiry. Protests and Public Reaction The shooting ignited protests in Minneapolis almost immediately and spurred demonstrations across the country. Over the weekend following the incident, more than 1,000 rallies were organized in cities nationwide, drawing tens of thousands of participants. Protesters have framed their actions as a call for accountability and change in how immigration policy is enforced. In Minneapolis, large crowds gathered near the site where Good was killed to march and call for an end to what they see as an aggressive federal presence. Many protesters have chanted slogans critical of ICE and the broader administration’s immigration agenda. Scenes from protests have been varied. In some locations, demonstrators have remained peaceful, holding signs and vigils in memory of Good. In others, confrontations between some protesters and law enforcement have occurred, with reports of officers deploying crowd control tactics. Supporters of the federal response argue that a strong enforcement posture is necessary to uphold U.S. immigration laws and to address alleged crime tied to illegal immigration. DHS officials also stressed that the officers being sent to Minnesota are there to protect their federal personnel and keep operations running despite protests. The Broader Context of Immigration Enforcement This episode is part of a much larger national debate over immigration policy and enforcement tactics. The Trump administration’s recent focus on interior enforcement — including deportations and raids — has been a defining pillar of its second term. Minneapolis, a city with a diverse population and sizable immigrant communities, has become a focal point for that strategy. Critics say that such heavy federal deployment in city neighborhoods undermines community trust and disproportionately affects non-violent immigrants and long-standing residents. Advocates for immigrant rights argue that punitive tactics fuel fear, discourage cooperation with local authorities, and erode civil liberties. Supporters counter that rigorous enforcement is essential for national security and upholding the rule of law. They argue that federal agents must be backed by sufficient resources, especially when facing hostile demonstrations or resistance. Voices from Minneapolis Local sentiment in Minneapolis remains deeply divided. Many residents expressed grief and shock over the death of Renee Good, while also expressing concern about the scale and nature of the federal response. A number of community members have organized vigils, public gatherings, and faith-based services to provide mutual support and to call for justice. Conversely, Minneapolis leaders have urged calm while also criticizing federal policies they claim escalate tensions. Mayor Frey has been vocal in his rejection of the federal narrative, insisting that the city deserves transparency and a fair process to understand what led to Good’s death. Looking Ahead As hundreds more immigration officers make their way to Minneapolis, the city and the nation find themselves at a critical juncture in the ongoing debate about immigration enforcement. The coming days will likely see continued protests, political clashes, and legal challenges as both sides defend their interpretations of events and advocate for their visions of public safety and justice. For now, Minneapolis stands on edge — a city caught between federal authority and local calls for accountability, grieving a woman’s death, and questioning how far immigration enforcement can go before it deepens divisions even further.
