It’s about to get diabolical in ‘Gen V’

now viewing

If you’re looking for more R-rated supe-debauchery, prepare for a trip to the ‘collage years’ in Godolkin University, where new supes are made in Gen Z, a riotously crazy and messed-up new chapter of The Boys. And it’s going to be a MUST-WATCH on Prime Video.

Watch the full trailer below:

Here’s the official synopsis:

Set in the diabolical world of The Boys, Gen V expands the universe to Godolkin University, the prestigious superhero-only college where students train to be the next generation of heroes—preferably with lucrative endorsements. You know what happens when supes go bad, but not all superheroes start out corrupt. Beyond the typical college chaos of finding oneself and partying, these kids are facing explosive situations … literally. As the students vie for popularity and good grades, it’s clear that the stakes are much higher when super powers are involved. When the group of young supes discover that something bigger and sinister is going on at school, they’re put to the test: Will they be the heroes or the villains of their stories?

Since 2019, Prime Video’s The Boys has made for some of the craziest television watching we’ve ever seen. The warped minds of Craig Rosenberg, Evan Goldberg, and Eric Kripke are ready to amp up the stakes even more with a bold new chapter of the franchise….and things are about to get messy.

Gen V centres on Jaz Sinclair’s Marie Moreau, a blood bender with a tragic past, who finds herself with a place at Godolkin University, where would-be supes are trained and then tested in a brutal Battle Royale run by Vought International. Moreau’s powers are a new kind of mental, and she finds herself facing the twisted presence of Patrick Schwarzenegger’s Luke Riordan/Golden Boy, a popular student and fire manipulator, along with coming under the watchful eye of Shelley Conn’s Indira Shetty, the superintendent of Godolkin University who does not have superpowers.

Gen V will serve as a lead into the much anticipated fourth season of The Boys, with the action and narrative of Season Four of Gen V running concurrently with The Boys. And for fans, this will mark it out as a must-watch.
