Gen V is the new spin-off series of The Boys, but you might be wondering where the show takes place in the The Boys timeline. Don't worry, we've got you covered, and rest assured, Gen V makes perfect sense in The Boys' timeline.
The new spin-off series of The Boys, Gen V, has just been released on Amazon Prime Video and you might be wondering when this series takes place in The Boys universe. After all, Gen V introduces a whole new cast, so where do Gen V and The Boys actually cross?
Gen V fits perfectly into The Boys timeline, and it might even allow a couple of cameos from our favorite The Boys characters.
Gen V: Timeline Explained
While The Boys are out there trying to uncover the dark secrets of The Seven, Gen V is heading to Godolkin University to become the next generation of superheros while also trying to secure their own place as a part of The Seven.
Unlike many other superhero shows and comics, the Gen V x The Boys timeline is actually very easy to understand. You see, while we are eagerly awaiting the release of The Boys' season 4, Gen V perfectly fills the gap between season 3 and season 4 of The Boys. No, seriously, Gen V's plot is set right between the events of The Boys season 3 and 4.
By the way, check out our article on The Boys season 4 for more information:
We know that Gen V is set between season 3 and 4 of the boys thanks to a tweet from the official The Boys Twitter account. If you need any more clarity about the timeline, they added "so the kiddos at God U all saw Homelander laser a guy’s head off to the sound of thunderous applause". Isn't that just great news?
If we're clearin up the timeline, @genv takes place between S3 and S4. So the kiddos at God U all saw Homelander laser a guy's head off to the sound of thunderous applause pic.twitter.com/SYwH0raJgD

The same cannot be said about Timothy, though. We'll just have to hope to see him in The Boys season 4 again.
