This worked for me using an UpdateView class in Django 3.1:

def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
   
    if 1 == 1:
        return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse_lazy("view_name_here"))
    else:
        return super().get(request, *args, **kwargs)

To determine this, I analyzed its base class (Cmd+Click in PyCharm), where I found the base method:

def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
    self.object = self.get_object()
    return super().get(request, *args, **kwargs)

You can find this and other methods in the Django source code: django/views/generic/edit.py
