Amazon Prime Video has announced the release date for the anticipated Boys spinoff, along with a promise of more news about Gen V. Gen V, the spinoff series of Amazon Prime Video's highly acclaimed show The Boys, offers a satirical and sadistic perspective on superheroes. Set at Godolkin University, also known as God U, a prestigious institution for supes under the management of Vought International, the show follows students competing for lucrative contracts in top cities. The creators have hinted at the show incorporating elements reminiscent of The Hunger Games. While the release of The Boys spinoff was originally slated for September, an official premiere date has now been confirmed.
The Gen V Twitter account unveiled a new poster and announced the premiere date for the series on Prime Video. The caption states, "Schedules are out... new poster today, new teaser Monday, new semester begins on September 29th." The poster showcases the lower half of a vandalized Homelander statue located at God U's campus. Gen V has been teasing the Homelander statue frequently, and a decapitated version is anticipated to make an appearance at San Diego Comic-Con. This implies that students are dissatisfied with Homelander's actions in The Boys season 3 finale. Additionally, several other characters from The Boys are expected to make appearances in Gen V.
Not mentioned in the tweet is that Gen V will release the first three episodes on September 29th for the premiere. Subsequent episodes will be released on Fridays until the season finale on November 3rd, totaling eight episodes. Fans will be delighted to receive more content from the franchise, especially since The Boys season 4 has been indefinitely delayed due to ongoing strikes, despite the completion of filming.
In the Gen V poster, the main character, Marie Moreau, portrayed by Jaz Sinclair, is depicted. Moreau is a freshman at God U and possesses a unique ability showcased in the poster. She has the power to manipulate her arteries and veins, manifesting as tendrils that emerge from her wrists. This skill grants her the capability to grab onto objects or individuals. Moreover, Moreau possesses a healing factor, ensuring that she doesn't lose excessive amounts of blood.
With such an intriguing protagonist, fans can anticipate a significant amount of blood in this series. Seth Rogen has expressed the potential for Gen V to be even more shocking than The Boys, and fans eagerly await to see if his claim holds true.
Gen V premieres on Prime Video on September 29th, 2023.
