Strap on your tinfoil caps and prepare for another semester at Godolkin University, because it seems like the Gen V team is already cramming for an unconfirmed second season! Sure, Amazon might not have yet graced us with their renewal seal of approval, but our heroes of the quill are bustling away in the writers' room anyway.
Michele Fazekas, the showrunner and apparent hopeful romantic, slipped us a wink and said they're charged with anticipation for season two. "We don't have an official green light", she confessed like the head of a secret society. "But that small fact hasn't deterred our enthusiasm. We've already started brainstorming and the creative juices are flowing in abundance. Let's call it pre-season optimism."
Meanwhile, Eric Kripke - The Boys' architect-in-chief - dropped a broad hint that Amazon Studios is keeping a hawk's eye on Gen V, waiting to see whether these fledgling Supes soar or plummet. "We're still testing the water to see if people crave the Gen V flavor. Only if Amazon's suitably pleased will we get the go-ahead. Fingers cross... and maybe toes too!"
For those living under a rock, Gen V follows a ragtag group of university-powered Supes as they attempt to survive the wild terrain of college life, juggle their burgeoning super-abilities, and fight to claim a coveted post among The Seven. There's also the small matter of a colossal conspiracy being cooked up by the bigshots at Vought, which - if left unchecked - could shake the foundations of dear old Godolkin U.
The show has already won a chorus of applause for its debut season, locking in a whoppin' Fresh 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The internet’s collective verdict? Think chaos, but the good kind. Some have called it a "glorious shambles", while others have labeled it a "rip-roaring blast". Asa Germann’s Sam - the star who stole every scene he graced - has been deemed the standout, the cherry on top of Gen V's super-dysfunctional ice cream sundae.
