It is almost impossible to predict whether a television series will be successful and, if so, how long it will be able to sustain it. If these are adaptations of existing materials, the route may be merely outlined, but even so the creative team must be open to making adjustments or changes in strategy to know when to stop or when to give it a tailored closure. In the case of The Boysinitially his showrunner Eric Kripke stated that the series of Prime Video had a total of five seasons. However, she now admitted that she could go much further.
The outlook is certainly promising. The three deliveries and their spin-off, Gene V, were a success story for the platform, and even before the premiere of its fourth installment, the renewal for a fifth batch of episodes has been secured.

Guinness record of who is dumbest about how long their series should last, there would literally be a photo of mea”, he concluded. It is worth mentioning that Eric Kripke also worked as showrunner in the series Supernatural which, in the first instance, was also going to last a few seasons and ended up being extended until a fifteenth installment.
