Gen V (2023-2025)
Following its recent cancellation after two seasons, the Godolkin University saga has officially come to an end. However, showrunners have confirmed that the surviving characters' stories will continue in the upcoming final season of The Boys and other "Vought Cinematic Universe" (VCU) spin-offs.

Spider-Noir (2026)
The Boys may be in its own universe, but what's to stop fans from finding its elements in the latest Sony Spider-Man Universe: Spider-Noir?
If you're into gritty, alternate-universe heroes, Spider-Noir brings Nicolas Cage's Ben Reilly to live-action in a 1930s New York setting. With its "authentic black and white" viewing mode and stark urban-noir mood, it's the perfect mix for fans who love the darker deconstruction of superheroes.

Daredevil: Born Again (2025-Present)
Whether viewers start from Netflix's original Daredevil series or Daredevil: Born Again, fans won't get enough of Matt Murdock's lawyer-by-day, crime-fighter-by-night alter-ego.
The MCU's latest heavy-hitter just wrapped its second season with a massive identity reveal that has changed Hell's Kitchen forever. With a third season already confirmed for early next year, it remains the gold standard for street-level, mature superhero drama.

Invincible (2021-Present)
Invincible is practically cut from the same mold of ultra-violence and realistic consequences as The Boys on the same streaming platform, if you're looking for an animated equivalent of it. Based on the novel of the same name, how "invincible" is the titular hero, really?

Peacemaker (2022-Present)
Following its acclaimed second season finale in late 2025, James Gunn has confirmed there are no current plans for Peacemaker season 3. However, John Cena's antihero is expected to remain a fixture in the rebuilding of the DCU, as Peacemaker makes his way in future films and crossovers.

Doom Patrol (2019-2023)
Delectably weird and grounded in emotional character work, Doom Patrol follows a group of traumatized outcasts with unwanted found powers. It's definitely an obligatory viewing for those who love the chaos and enjoy the bizarre, "what the f***" energy Homelander and the Seven often displayed. While Vought's heroes are obsessed with keeping their public image, the members of Doom Patrol are tucked away from society, led by the morally ambiguous "Chief" (Timothy Dalton).

Watchmen (2019)
A prestige limited series that serves as a direct sequel to the iconic 1986 graphic novel, Watchmen shares The Boys' DNA in its deconstruction of masked vigilantes and its exploration of the systemic rot behind the capes. Watchmen finds masked vigilantes as outlaws. The series swaps the Cold War paranoia of the source material for a searing, modernized exploration of systemic racism and historical trauma.

The Umbrella Academy (2019-2024)
Like The Boys, The Umbrella Academy highlights the personal damage caused by being raised as a child "superhero" under manipulative benefactors (their "father"). The series may have concluded its run in 2024 and left a legacy of a dysfunctional family forced to face apocalyptic stakes alone, similar to the found family dynamics portrayed in The Boys.
