Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Boys creator Eric Kripke says he's learned his lesson about predicting how many seasons a show will last, citing one memorable television example that changes his view about Gen V. Even though Prime Video's superhero satire franchise tends to be limited to eight episodes, Kripke and the rest of the team that works on The Boys and Gen V are able to move plots seamlessly.
Kripke, who serves as executive producer on Gen V, reflected on his experience with Supernatural in an interview with Inverse, saying he's the worst at figuring out how long a show might last. This is in reference to the fact that Kripke left his role as showrunner of Supernatural after season 5, though the series would continue for 10 more seasons.
“I have since realized that literally no one in history is worse at predicting the amount of seasons of a show, like literally. I have learned my lesson and I've stopped predicting how many seasons these shows go. You will find out in hindsight.” Can A Streaming Show Even Last 15 Seasons? There are a few streaming series that last for several seasons, largely on Netflix. The comedy Grace & Frankie lasted seven seasons, while early hits like House of Cards and Orange is the New Black went for six and seven seasons, respectively.
But another thing that's different about The Boys and Gen V, compared to a broadcast network drama like Supernatural, is that it's more serialized and less focused on self-contained episodes. Supernatural likely wouldn't have lasted so long if it had been one continuous story, without the memorable monster-of-week installments. By the same token, The Boys can't keep going if it maintains the delay of the Homelander showdown that was the initial conceit of the series.
