“The Boys” is one of Prime Video’s biggest hits, bringing the edgy world of superheroes from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s original comic books to life in live-action form. Now, the universe is about to expand with “Gen V,” a spin-off series that will focus on new group of super-powered people at a very different age bracket than the ones we’ve become familiar with in the primary series. They’re all gathered at a university for “gifted” students (taking an intentional cue from X-Men) who are about to become the first generation of Supes to be trained knowing full well that their powers come from Compound V, as established in the original series.
“Gen V” stars Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, Marco Pigossi, Clancy Brown, Alexander Calvert and Jason Ritter. There will also be guest appearances from Jessie T. Usher, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and P.J. Byrne, all reprising their roles from “The Boys.” The series is executive produced by Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, who also serve as showrunners.
Prime Video will have a two-episode sneak peek of “Gen V” in theaters on September 27 before the series starts streaming on September 29. Check out the trailer and synopsis below:
From the world of “The Boys” comes “Gen V.” Young, aspiring heroes have their physical and moral boundaries put to the test while competing for Godolkin University’s highly coveted top ranking. When the university’s dark secrets come to light, the students must come to grips with what type of heroes they are going to become.
