Here’s How Long GEN V Season 2 Takes Place After THE BOYS Season 4

First, we now have a definitive timeline for when Gen V will take place. In this universe, the events of The Boys take place fittingly around Inauguration Day in January. Now, it’s August and the world is months into what’s essentially a Homelander-run America. It seems that, at least with things at God U, Marie will become the school’s savior. But that may not be the case, according to showrunner Eric Kripke. 

“If she can control everybody’s blood, then what can’t she do? How is she not the most powerful superhero on the planet?” Kripke says. “Just because she has the potential to be, doesn’t mean that she is. It felt like a very organic adolescent problem, which is these expectations are placed on you to be this truly great thing, but you’re not quite ready to step up to be truly great.”

No matter what, we are going to see Marie really level up her powers this season. If the final fight scene on campus is any indicator, we are in for a treat. “Marie’s such an underdog,” said Jaz Sinclair. “The expansion of my powers in season 2 is really exciting. So the weight of that and the implication of what that could mean for Marie was really fun for me this season.”

We cannot wait for our college supes to spring back to action soon.
