Gen V, a spinoff of superhero series The Boys, debuts on Amazon Prime Video Friday, September 29. The show looks at life at Godolkin University, America’s only college for young-adult superheroes. Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are behind Gen V.
Gen V explores the training of the first generation of superheroes to know about Compound V and to know that their powers were injected into them, not God-given. “These young, competitive heroes put their physical and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the school’s highly coveted top ranking,” according to Prime. “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.”
