A different type of school is set to begin session this Fall: Prime Video announced a premiere date for “Gen V”, “The Boys” spinoff series set at college.
The announcement comes with a poster that gives a first look at star Jaz Sinclair.
“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.
The official synopsis: “These young, competitive heroes put their physical and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the school’s highly coveted top ranking. They quickly come to learn that ambition comes with sacrifice, and the difference between right and wrong is not as clear as they once believed. When the university’s dark secrets come to light, the students must come to grips with what type of heroes they are going to become.”
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.”
Amazon’s official description for the new spinoff series continues, “It’s part college show, part Hunger Games–with all the heart, satire, and raunch of The Boys.”
