The cast of The Boys spinoff Gen V
The Big Picture Not all spin-offs alter the original series, but in the case of The Boys and Gen V, the two series are so interconnected that the upcoming season of The Boys requires a bit of context from Gen V. While The Boys shows an established and dysfunctional team of Supes with world-renown, Gen V takes a different approach to the world by introducing new Supes still in school and training to one day reach the fame of those in The Boys.
Release Date July 26, 2019 Creator Eric Kripke Cast Karl Urban , Antony Starr , Erin Moriarty , Dominique McElligott , Laz Alonso , Chace Crawford , Colby Minifie , Aya Cash Main Genre Superhero Seasons 4 Studio Amazon Studios Expand What Is 'Gen V' About? The story follows Marie , an orphan who briefly appeared in The Boys before getting a spin-off. As she starts at Godolkin University, she enters a new culture where young heroes are taught to use and market their powers.
Dean Shetty is in charge of these experiments, and her biggest focus is creating a virus that will infect Supes but leave humans untouched. This project proves successful as she uses it to kill one of the many subjects in The Woods, adding an important new weapon to the world. The virus is established to be highly contagious among Supes, adding to its danger. Shetty's hate for Supes initiates this invention, but it outlasts Shetty.
Of course, this set of heroes encounters The Boys' antagonists as well. Most obviously, Homelander, who shows up during the confrontation between Marie and Cate. When Cate and Sam choose to release the children from The Woods, it ends up in an attack where the experimented-on Supes attempt to kill all non-Supes on campus. Marie and her friends try to stop them, but when Marie explodes the blood vessels in Cate's arm, Homelander flies in.
