THE BOYS franchise expands today with its new series GEN V. But the series comes at a strange time in the industry—the WGA strike just ended, and the actors’ guild will begin their negotiations with the AMPTP on October 2.
“Look, it’s a little scary,” THE BOYS creator (and GEN V executive producer) Eric Kripke told Give Me My Remote in August, before the WGA strike ended. “We can’t promote it, and we want to—the WGA rules are a little more lax than SAG. But no one really cares much as much what the writers have to say.”

SUPERNATURAL writers and actors have been regular fixtures on the WGA and SAG-AFTRA picket lines—including a mini-reunion picket on August 10—but they made it official with a jam-packed reunion picket on Thursday, August 31 at the Warner Bros. lot.
“The first reunion picket, which I really appreciated, came a lot from the show THE WINCHESTERS,” SUPERNATURAL creator Eric Kripke tells Give Me My Remote. “And it actually got me off my ass, because I’ve been thinking for a while, ‘We should do the most epic SUPERNATURAL picket, and we should get everyone from all 15 years.’”

When SUPERNATURAL aired its 300th episode in February, a very special viewer watched the Winchester family have a bittersweet reunion: series creator Eric Kripke.
Kripke ran the first five seasons of the (very) long-running WB-turned-CW drama, but left in 2010 after he finished his intended arc for the show. (He’s created REVOLUTION, co-created TIMELESS, and ran the upcoming Prime Video series THE BOYS in the years since his departure.)
The writer has always been a vocal supporter of the series, but the milestone prompted tweets about the hour itself and a look back at where everything started. Read more
