Summary
The upcoming spinoff of The Boys, called Gen V, has confirmed a new official Boys cameo.

Gen V, the highly anticipated spinoff of The Boys, has just announced its newest addition to The Boys cast. Set to premiere on Prime Video on September 29, this new series follows a group of teenage superheroes as they undergo intense training to become true heroes. Joining the talented ensemble cast of Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Maddie Phillips, and Derek Luh are returning members from The Boys, including Claudia Doumit as Victoria Neuman, P.J. Byrne as Adam Bourke, Jessie T. Usher as A-Train, and Colby Minifie as Ashley Barrett.
According to Entertainment Weekly, another familiar face from The Boys will make an appearance in Gen V season 1. Chace Crawford will reprise his role as The Deep, a character reminiscent of Aquaman. While no specific details have been disclosed regarding the context or duration of his appearance, fans are eagerly awaiting the inclusion of this beloved character.
How The Deep Could Appear on Gen V
This is a significant addition for Gen V as they managed to secure a cameo from The Deep, a member of the notorious superhero group called The Seven. In the series, The Boys, a group of determined vigilantes are focused on bringing down The Seven, who are depicted as corrupt. The Deep's complicated relationship with The Seven is explored throughout the main series, as he takes a sabbatical from the group for some time.
Although much of the plot for Gen V remains a well-guarded secret, it is evident that they have made preparations for several popular supes from the show to make cameo appearances. The main action of the series takes place at the Godolkin University School of Crimefighting, which is overseen by Vought International. As Vought International is also involved with The Seven, it is highly likely that established supes will make appearances to either teach classes or deliver lectures.
It is highly probable that The Deep's cameo in The Boys will be similar to Captain America's brief appearance in Spider-Man: Homecoming. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe film, Captain America appeared in a series of PSAs shown at Peter Parker's school, portraying him as a mentor to the students. The Boys and Gen V's irreverent tone would be consistent with this kind of cameo, although the exact advice or wisdom The Deep would offer to young students is currently unknown.
