Set in the diabolical world of The Boys, Gen V is about to hit your OTT screens this September. The show enrolls you into Godolkin University, the prestigious superhero-only college where students train to be the next generation of heroes. Beyond the typical identity crisis every young adult faces in college and a whole lot of partying (maybe a little bit of studying too!), these kids are facing explosive situations—quite literally. The group of young supes discover that something bigger and sinister is going on at school and they're put to the test. Will they be the heroes or the villains of their stories?
The 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. 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.
Meet the characters and their superpowers
