The showrunner, Eric Kripke hinted at this in an interview with Deadline saying:"There’s definitely crossover, and we’re doing our best to design a universe that sees some of the issues and storylines in Season 3 hand off to the first season in Varsity." Stating an example, Kripke said that there's a presidential campaign happening in the abovementioned season's background. He also said that there are other things happening in school that are in "reaction to season 3 of The Boys." Eric also added that there will be some new storylines taking place in the spinoff's season that they might pick up and take into season 4 of The Boys.While no specific release date has been announced for the show, the network has hinted that it will premiere sometime in 2023, and will also be released on Amazon Prime Video. Stay tuned for more updates.
