Bloody hell! The Boys are only getting their own spin off ain’t they with new Prime Video series Gen V which follows a bunch of young-adult superheroes at university.
Watch the trailer…
Gen V 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 the school’s highly coveted top ranking. They quickly come to learn that ambition comes with sacrifice, and the difference between right and wrong is not as clear as they once believed. 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.

Gen V also features guest stars Clancy Brown (Invincible) and Jason Ritter (Raising Dion), as well as appearances from Jessie T. Usher, Claudia Doumit, Colby Minifie, and P.J. Byrne, reprising their roles from The Boys.
