The Boys’ college spinoff series is called, cleverly, Gen V
polygon.comAmazon Studios’ new live-action spinoff of The Boys, a series set at an American college for young-adult superheroes, is titled Gen V, named after the series’ Supe serum, the streamer revealed Friday. The college-aged cast of Gen V made the announcement on social media.
Gen V is an “irreverent, R-rated series that explores the lives of hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test,” according to Amazon. No doubt romantic relationships and rivalries will factor into the show’s conflicts as much as its wannabe superheroes competing for Vought International-backed contracts. Gen V was previously discussed under the name The Boys Presents: Varsity.
The new series stars Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Marco Pigossi.
