Eric Kripke, showrunner of The Boys, discussed the growing popularity of the franchise in an interview with Collider. According to Kripke, he's determined to end the show on a high note and avoid it becoming a parody of itself.
We're gonna look at the chips we have on the table right now. I live in absolute terror of becoming the thing we've been satirizing for five years . The thing about The Boys is that it's punk rock, and it hurts extra hard when punk rockers sell out. I'm really working hard to not sell out. We do these shows because we really care about them and we're passionate about them, and they can tell fresh stories that we can't tell in The Boys and not just be about rapid expansion but be very careful and mindful about the choices we're making and being able to defend why we're making them. I worry about that every single day. I just want people to say, maybe it's for them and maybe it isn't for them, but gotta hand it to them, they maintain a consistent level of quality.
The final season of The Boys, set to conclude the stories of Hughie, Billy Butcher, and Homelander, will premiere next year. Additionally, spin-offs Gen V and a prequel about Soldier Boy and Stormfront are currently in development.
