Prime Video announces Gen V as ‘The Boys’ spinoff
Cast members unite to reveal what we can expect
Are you missing The Boys? Well, July isn’t over yet! Fans on social media went wild this morning when it was revealed that the title of the college-based spinoff of the beloved superhero show would be called – Gen V. The upcoming Prime Video show is currently in production.
In the video, the cast chimes in on the R-rated series, cluing us in with things like “It has everything The Boys has” and “It’s gonna be a roller coaster…” According to actor Asa Germann, we can expect the same intensity, grit, and humor as the original.
The show picks up at America’s only college exclusively for young-adult superheroes, which Vought International runs. Could you imagine what would happen at a college for superheroes who are all competing for the best contracts in the best cities? Soon, we won’t have to. The show is described as “part college show, part Hunger Games—with all the heart, satire, and raunch of The Boys.”
The cast includes AAPI talent Derek Luh, London Thor, Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Marco Pigossi.
Gen V showrunners and executive producers are Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters. Also serving as executive producers are Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, Ori Marmur, Pavun Shetty, Ken Levin, Jason Netter, Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson, Craig Rosenberg, Zak Schwartz, Erica Rosbe, and Michaela Starr, along with Brant Engelstein, who serves as co-executive producer.
Gen V is produced by Sony Pictures Television Studios and Amazon Studios, in association with Kripke Enterprises, Point Grey Pictures, and Original Film. Loreli Alanís is the executive in charge for Point Grey Pictures.
