Amazon Prime Video has set the premiere date for The Boys spin-off series Gen V. According to Variety, the new show, which takes place at a superhero college, will launch with its first three episodes on September 29. New episodes will roll out weekly until the Season 1 finale on November 3.
Amazon has set the premiere date for the show following the conclusion of filming on The Boys Season 4, and amid the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA dual strike, a work stoppage that affected Amazon’s plans to promote Gen V with cast members and creators at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Nevertheless, the premiere date and a new character poster you can see below were released. A teaser is expected to come out July 24.
Amazon’s description for Gen V reads: “From the world of The Boys comes Gen V, which explores the training of the first generation of superheroes to know about Compound V, and that their powers were injected into them. These young, competitive heroes put their physical and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the school’s 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.”
Gen V stars Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Marco Pigossi. Guest stars include Clancy Brown and Jason Ritter, as well as The Boys cast members Jessie T. Usher, Colby Minifie, and P.J. Byrne, who will reprise their roles for the spin-off.
Gen V is showrun by Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, who executive produce alongside creator Eric Kripke. The series marks the third in Amazon’s The Boys franchise, alongside the main series and animated anthology The Boys Presents: Diabolical.
