The Boys season 4: How will Gen V set the stage?

The Boys season 3

We tend to think most people are aware at this point that we’ll be waiting a long time to see The Boys season 4 premiere. Is that frustrating? Sure, but it doesn’t make it any less true. This is just a symptom of where we are right now with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes having an impact on post-production.

Of course, even if the strikes were not underway, we do tend to think we’d be waiting a while. After all, editing and special effects take time, and Prime Video is not going to release the original show too close to its spin-off.

So while we do endure this really long wait to get the flagship back on the air, there are plenty of reasons to watch Gen V. It starts with a similar tone and a lot of crazy superhero violence, and that’s without mentioning the possibility of some cameos — including some that may not have been announced as of yet.

In the end, though, there is to us one confirmed appearance that stands a little bit out from the pack: Claudia Doumit as Victoria Neuman. Remember that at the end of season 3, we saw the secret and super-dangerous Supe’s further rise to power within government, and we think that this is positioning her to be an enormous threat in season 4. Her appearance in Gen V could be furthering that along. We still don’t even know the full extent of her endgame! Sure, she has expressed a willingness to regulate certain Supes and yet, she is an extremely powerful one herself. She’s also forged some alliances that were hard to anticipate.

Maybe Gen V will shed some light on this — or, at the very least, set up an even more exciting arc for her in The Boys moving forward.
