A new Gen V trailer teases some diabolical changes coming soon to The Boys’ spin-off series.

What is Prime Video’s Gen V about?
Created by Craig Rosenberg, Evan Goldberg, and Eric Kripke, Gen V is set in the same universe as The Boys and largely takes place at a college campus for superheroes called Godolkin University — or “God U.”
The series follows a young woman named Marie (Jaz Sinclair), a God U student who is eager to show the world what she’s capable of; however, it doesn’t take Marie long to learn something sinister appears to be going on at this college behind closed doors .
After befriending other students such as Andre (Chance Perdomo), Emma (Lizze Broadway), Jordan (London Thor and Derek Luh), and Cate (Maddie Phillips), Marie comes to learn about a secret underground organization called The Woods, which is where “dangerous” superheroes are being kept and experimented on against their will.
Also starring in Gen V are Shelley Conn, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, Clancy Brown, P.J. Byrne, Derek Wilson, and Colby Minifie.
Gen V is set between the events of The Boys Seasons 3 and 4, the latter of which currently lacks a release date but did finish filming in April 2023. In June 2023, Kripke said in a tweet the release date of The Boys’ fourth season would depend on how long the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike — which ended on September 27, 2023 — lasts.
The first three episodes of Gen V aired on September 29, 2023. New episodes drop on Fridays on Prime Video, with the season containing eight episodes in total.
