The series is designed to have multiple seasons. Grellong has already pitched ideas for a potential second season.
Kripke mentions that the Supes in the series are military people who move to the private sector that gets "flashier" because "it's about showmanship", so "military discipline" becomes "consumerism" to "see them evolve that way". Jensen Ackles spoke with Variety about the differences between his character Ben / Soldier Boy in this series and in The Boys, that even though they are the same person "There's a lot of life that Soldier Boy has lived when we see him in 'The Boys'...and then when he's starting." He mentioned that he's being able to "deal with the struggles that made him who he became."
Along with the series announcement, Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash were confirmed to star in the series as Ben / Soldier Boy and Klara Risinger / Stormfront, respectively, reprising their roles from The Boys. In March 2025, Elizabeth Posey and Will Hochman joined the cast in main roles. In August 2025, Jorden Myrie, Nicolò Pasetti, Ricky Staffieri, Brian J.

In March 2026, James Wolk, Dylan Arnold, Josh Randall, and Chad Willett were cast in recurring capacities.
Kripke mentioned that characters from other series of the franchise could appear in potential future seasons. In the first season, actors who reprise their roles from other series in the franchise are Ethan Slater as Thomas Godolkin from the second season of Gen V, and Dye as Bombsight from the fifth and final season of The Boys.
