Prime Video gives The Boys spinoff show Gen V a very broad release date tease. The success of the main show based on Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's comics enabled the streamer to move forward with plans to expand The Boys' franchise. The fourth season is currently in the works, but audiences will next see the first season of Gen V, a college-based spinoff following young Supes trying to join The Seven. The series focuses on an entirely new group of characters, although some familiar faces from The Boys are also confirmed to appear.The bloody and adult-oriented show is confirmed to come out in 2023 after The Boys season 3 secretly set up the spinoff. However, Prime Video has not provided a specific window for when subscribers will be able to begin watching the series. To ring in the new year, the official Gen V Twitter account gave audiences the broadest release date tease possible. The account hilariously teased The Boys fans with the news that Gen V will be released sometime before December 31, 2023. Check out the tweet below:
Did The Boys Twitter Secretly Confirm Gen V's Release Date?
The very vague tease for when The Boys spinoff will release could contain some vital information, though, as speculation is turning toward the tweets actually presenting the necessary info. The Gen V account first tweeted that 2023 was "our favorite set of numbers," which reaffirmed that the series is on track for a release sometime this year. The joke that The Boys spinoff show will come sometime between now and December 31st is not particularly helpful, but the tweet that came between these might be. In response to the initial tweet that 2023 was its favorite number, the account said, "Other than The Seven! Other than the Seven."
It is possible that through this follow-up tweet Gen V's release date was revealed and that viewers can expect the spinoff to arrive on July 7, 2023. The reason behind this explanation is that the first mention of The Seven (7) would connect to July (the seventh month of the year), while the repeat of the Seven refers to the day of the month. To make the case even more compelling, July 7, 2023, happens to be a Friday, which is the day of the week that Prime Video traditionally releases new episodes of The Boys and other major shows.
If Gen V's release date is July 7, 2023, audiences will have had to wait almost exactly an entire year from when The Boys season 3 ended. The third season's great performance for Prime Video during the summer could also influence the decision to release Gen V in a similar time frame. And if the past can reveal anything else, the first three episodes dropping at once should also be expected. Only time will tell if these tweets did secretly reveal The Boys spinoff release date, but Gen V should not be too far away in any case.
