Gen V – Official Redband Trailer

A different type of school is set to begin session later this month in “Gen V”, “The Boys” spinoff series set at college. Today Prime Video debuted the official “Gen V” red band trailer, giving a closer look at the ultra-violent, cutthroat world of the college-set series.

“Gen V” will debut its first three episodes on Friday, September 29, with subsequent episodes releasing weekly on Fridays. The season finale will land on the streamer November 3.

Check out the new, ultra-violent trailer below that gives a closer look at the various superpowers on display and their deadly consequences. The blood-drenched trailer makes it clear the spinoff firmly belongs within “The Boys” universe.

The official synopsis: “Set in the diabolical world of The Boys, Gen V expands the universe to Godolkin University, the prestigious superhero-only college where students train to be the next generation of heroes—preferably with lucrative endorsements. You know what happens when supes go bad, but not all superheroes start out corrupt. Beyond the typical college chaos of finding oneself and partying, these kids are facing explosive situations … literally. As the students vie for popularity and good grades, it’s clear that the stakes are much higher when super powers are involved. When the group of young supes discover that something bigger and sinister is going on at school, they’re put to the test: Will they be the heroes or the villains of their stories?”

Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters are showrunners for “Gen V,” which is said to be “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, competing for the best contracts in the best cities.”

The series cast includes 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.
