The season 4 finale of the main series stunned a lot of fans, and Kripke promised that Gen V season 2 will do the same as well. He revealed that it’s a lot darker and things have become a lot more complicated."Season two has higher stakes. It's a little bit of a darker show. The characterisations are a little bit more complicated. Season two is just a lot more confident, and it knows what it is and it takes some bigger swings,” Kripke said.The events of The Boys season 4 finale left Homelander in charge of the country alongside antagonist Steven Calhoun, which effectively puts the Supes in power. That has changed the environment at Godolkin University, but Kripke asserted that each “show is its own show”. Yet despite that, he acknowledged that as they exist in the same world so there will be commonalities and threads. "I love that each show is its own show – they each have their own story – but because they all exist in the same world, you can really spread consistent and interesting details throughout them. You just have that much more room to let the world evolve, which is really exciting," said Kripke.
