Spinning off from the Prime Video series The Boys, Gen V expands the universe to the superhero-only college Godolkin University, introducing the next generation of supes to the world. These students will learn how to harness their abilities, but also learn who they are as people and what path they decide to walk with their career: Hero or villain? Prime also released the first look at the new students together surrounding a statue of Homelander with his head having been melted off which can be seen below.
The series cast includes Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Marco Pigossi. Gen V also features guest stars Clancy Brown and Jason Ritter, as well as appearances from Jessie T. Usher, Claudia Doumit, Colby Minifie, and P.J. Byrne, reprising their roles from The Boys.
