The Boys universe is not closing the curtain on Homelander‘s world just yet. As Season 5finally premieres on April 8, Eric Kripke has given fans the clearest signal yet that The Boys: Mexico is very much happening, and by the sounds of it, Amazon is as excited about it as he is.
Eric Kripke says Amazon “seemed to love” The Boys: Mexico script after a notes call this week
Speaking to Collider ahead of the Season 5 premiere, Kripke revealed that writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer had already delivered a script to Amazon and that a notes call had taken place just this week.
“They seemed to love it,” Kripke said. “They gave him some notes. He’s gonna turn around the next notes, but obviously, you never, ever know. But at least at the moment, they’re making the right noises, so I’m hopeful.“
That is about as close to a soft confirmation as the television industry gets. The script is done, Amazon has responded warmly, and the machinery is turning.
Kripke also confirmed a detail fans had been curious about since the spinoff was first announced back in 2023, revealing that the series is set after the events of Season 5 and takes place in Mexico City.
“It’s very funny, I’ll say that,” he added. “He wrote a very funny script.” That tonal shift is very much the point. Kripke has been consistent in framing Mexico as something that lives in the same world as The Boys but does not feel like a carbon copy of them.
“It’s our world but a totally different tone, and it’s super fun,” he told Collider back in September 2025. The idea appears to be that where the flagship show leans hard into cynicism and brutality, Mexico is going for something more irreverent and comedic while still operating within the Vought universe.
Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal are on board as executive producers, and Kripke has repeatedly noted how genuinely invested both are in the project. The script itself comes from Dunnet-Alcocer, who wrote Blue Beetle for DC, bringing a cultural authenticity to the spin-off that separates it from the rest of the Boys universe in more ways than one.
Season 5 of The Boys, which premieres today on Prime Video, is the fifth and final season of the flagship series. The VoughtVerse, however, is far from done, with Vought Rising also currently in production and Gen V potentially heading toward a third season depending on viewership numbers.
