Prime Video’s The Boys spinoff, Gen V, explores how young superheroes learn to handle their special abilities. It’s not like they can practice setting themselves on fire or altering their size at a normal high school, so these budding superhero superstars attend Godolkin University. (Think Hogwarts but for supes.)
Prime Video promises this spinoff will retain the dark humor of The Boys while focusing on the next generation of supes.
“I think part of the thing that audiences love is that they’re taking the piss out of all of the exhaustive superhero explorations that we’ve seen and turning it all on its head,” explained Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon and MGM Studios in an interview with EW. “But I actually think they’ve done it so well that they have earned the right to expand and explore. So, the same irreverence that The Boys has is in Gen V.

Gen V will take fans of The Boys to a superhero university when it hits the air on Friday, September 29, 2023.
Prime Video shared character descriptions this week so that we can get intel on who we'll be rooting for/against.
If the original series has taught us anything, there will be plenty of polarizing characters.
Will the same ring true for Gen V? We think so.
The series is headlined by Jaz Sinclair, who plays Marie Moreau, an 18-year-old superhero with the ability to control and weaponize her own blood.
As an incoming freshman at Vought-run Godolkin University, she is eager to prove she has what it takes to join The Seven but is sidetracked by a mystery she begins to unravel at the school.
Sinclair's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina costar Chance Perdomo is on board as Andre Anderson, a junior at Godolkin University with magnetic powers.

They are deranged, egotistical, maniacal, careless, carefree, narcissistic, powerful, and just about any adjective one can use to describe the complex superheroes of The Boys' world.
Every season of The Boys is more mind-boggling than its predecessor; one wonders how they come up with some of this stuff.
And it would seem their minds know no bounds because the people behind The Boys decided there was more to be said about nasty twisted superheroes. How about tracing their evolution from when people usually learn about themselves?
And thus, the idea behind Gen V was born.
The official series synopsis teases:
From the world of The Boys comes Gen V, which explores the training of the first generation of superheroes to know about Compound V, and that their powers were injected into them rather than God-given.
These young, competitive heroes put their physical and moral boundaries to the test, competing for...
