“The Boys” spin-off series “Gen V” follows a group of young adults as they enter Godolkin University – the alma mater to supers like A-Train, The Deep, and Queen Maeve. Currently streaming on Prime Video, the series has just been greenlit for season 2.
Head of television of Amazon MGM Studios Vernon Sanders says:
Expanding the universe of The Boys with a series as bold as Gen V has been an incredible journey for us and our wonderful partners at Sony. From our first conversation with showrunners Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, along with Eric Kripke, Evan Goldberg, and Seth Rogen, we knew Gen V would push the boundaries. Their unapologetic approach is exactly what audiences love, and it has helped Gen V become the No. 1 series on Prime Video in over 130 countries.
Showrunner Michele Fazekas and executive producer Eric Kripke are excited for the story to continue, “These are characters and stories we’ve grown to love, and we are thrilled to know people feel the same!”
What Is “Gen V” About?
The spin-off series is set in the diabolical world of “The Boys,” and expands the universe to Godolkin University – a school for the super-powered. Typical college partying aside, the students face pressure from both faculty and parents to place high on the ranking. In the midst of it all, they discover something far more sinister than the competition for the number one spot. Beneath the beautiful campus of Godolkin University lays “The Woods”, a secret facility where certain super-powered are captured for experiments.
