The Boys is a giant success on Amazon! Naturally, when a cash cow is present then you need to milk the crap out of it with spin-offs and sequels. That’s where Gen V comes in.

Every season of The Boys is more mind-boggling than its predecessor; one wonders how they come up with some of this stuff.
And it would seem their minds know no bounds because the people behind The Boys decided there was more to be said about nasty twisted superheroes. How about tracing their evolution from when people usually learn about themselves?
And thus, the idea behind Gen V was born.
The official series synopsis teases:
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 rather than God-given.
These young, competitive heroes put their physical and moral boundaries to the test, competing for...
