Eric Kripke Drops Bombshell: ‘The Boys’ Could Outlast ‘Supernatural’s 15 Seasons!

Eric Kripke discusses the future of The Boys, comparing it to another of his shows. Kripke is a well-known television creator, having created both The Boys and the popular fantasy drama series Supernatural.

The Boys, which is based on the same-named comic series, has done exceptionally well on Prime Video. The Boys season 4 premieres on June 13, and the show has already been renewed for season 5.

In an interview with Empire Magazine, Kripke discusses how long The Boys will run. The author is hesitant to speculate on how long the Prime Video satirical series will last, making a sarcastic reference to Supernatural in the process, claiming “no-one in history has ever been more wrong than me about how many seasons a show should go.” He did, however, promise fans that he has a plan for Homelander and Billy Butcher’s last confrontation when The Boys concludes. Check out Kripke’s complete quote below:

“No-one in history has ever been more wrong than me about how many seasons a show should go. You can’t build a show that’s about these two forces of Homelander and Butcher slowly closing in on each other without bringing that to a head. Whenever that last episode occurs, I know what happens.”

Unpacking The Boys’ Series Life Expectancy

The Show Has Already Started To Expand

Several factors suggest that The Boys will be a fairly long-running series. First, as the quote alludes to, there is Kripke’s involvement. As evidenced by Supernatural’s 15 seasons, the creator knows how to maintain a captive audience, even over an incredibly long period. Secondly, the fact that The Boys was renewed for season 5 before season 4 even began airing is good evidence that Prime Video has great confidence in the show.

Furthermore, The Boys’ popularity is coupled with positive ratings for the series. Overall, the show holds a 93% Rotten Tomatoes score with an audience approval rating of 83%. Even better than these aggregate totals, however, is the fact that the reviews for The Boys seem to get better every season. The Boys seasons 1, 2, and 3 all saw Tomatometer growth over their predecessors, with scores of 85%, 97%, and 98%, respectively.

The launch of the spinoff series Gen V is also a step toward The Boys’ long-term success. With another series available, people will be more interested in the world-building of The Boys’ universe. This expenditure is likely to increase overall viewership for the main series. The second season of Gen V has already been confirmed, proving that The Boys is here to stay.
