updates on The Boys: Mexico since, the series already has some of its creative team lined up.

With two executive producers and a writer announced, The Boys: Mexico will also have Eric Kripke and Seth Rogen involved in the creative process, who have been key parts of all The Boys projects so far. While these are positive early signs for the show, the spinoff has a lot to live up to, especially considering the rest of the franchise's quality. Gen V's season 2 renewal highlights just how popular the series was and with it tying into the main show, it has become an instant hit for Amazon. The Boys: Mexico is Amazon's next step in making The Boys one of its biggest franchises and its performance is pivotal.

The Boys' Next Spinoff Suggests Amazon Wants To Expand The Franchise

Another The Boys spinoff indicates that Amazon want to continue expanding the franchise. The Boys: Mexico adds a completely fresh setting for the series and will lead to further expansion opportunities. So far, The Boys universe has focused solely on America, with the main show and its spinoffs taking place in the US. Changing the setting completely creates new possibilities for the universe and would suggest that there are far more supes out there. Considering The Boys' Compound V origin, it would make sense for supes to be an American-only creation, but the newest spinoff suggests Mexico has them too.

New supes and characters will create a fresh dynamic, especially given the location change. Mexico's supes could be as bad as America's, if not worse. However, there is also a chance they genuinely do good and could perhaps set up a potential war between the countries in the future. The storylines created by another country having supes are endless and could lead to even bigger developments. Characters from The Boys: Mexico could crossover into the main show or Gen V, making them crucial to the overall story. It is even possible that this could set up further spinoffs, highlighting that Amazon is aware of how big this franchise could become.

The Boys universe's future could be determined by how positive the reception is for The Boys: Mexico. While things have been good for the franchise so far, the spinoff could be a turning point. There has been a lot of praise for The Boys, which has continued to prove its quality across all shows, but one single failure could change that. The Boys: Mexico missing the mark could alter Amazon and the creators' plans. If the show were to fail, it could be a sign that the series has become too big and lost its appeal, potentially hurting The Boys franchise's quality through too many spinoffs.

However, if the spinoff is yet another hit, The Boys may continue to expand and become a full-blown universe. Although The Boys once parodied other superhero IPs for having too many projects, it could be following in its footsteps. Superhero fatigue has been used to describe Marvel and DC's recent poor performances, but The Boys could prove there is still a desire for well-made shows. Amazon will likely want to cash in on The Boys if its Mexico spinoff performs strongly, and it could lead to even further expansion, meaning The Boys: Mexico is key to the franchise's future.
