The Boys, Gen V to explore the gritty underbelly of the superhero universe!

“Stay a family, stay a team,” Jack Quaid imparts words of wisdom to the upcoming batch of students in The Boys spin-off, Gen V.

In just a matter of days, Prime Video is set to unleash its latest offering, the highly anticipated spinoff to The Boys, Gen V, premiering on September 29. This thrilling new take on The Boys promises to explore the gritty underbelly of the superhero universe, all through the eyes of the next generation. Leading the series is popular actress Jaz Sinclair, who was previously seen in hits like The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Paper Towns and When the Bough Breaks.

On being asked if any of the OG cast members of The Boys imparted some valuable insights or advice, Sinclair revealed, “Oh yeah, Jack Quaid! He was just like, stay a family, stay a team. This is where it’s at. If you guys have each other, you’ll get through this. So, don’t lose sight of that. This is the real family, you know, talking about the cast and like really being unified. And I value that because you can feel that when they’re together.”

In ‘Gen V,’ the world of superheroes is still in its infancy, and the kids are the focal point of the narrative. Sinclair explains, “In the Gen V world, the kids are still idealistic. They’re not fully formed into either a hero or a villain. For me, that was a really interesting topic and a really interesting time in all of their lives because I feel like it gives us a chance to know where everybody came from and to watch the unfolding of them becoming the kind of hero that they’re gonna become. I just find it fascinating because it humanizes everybody. It humanizes the people making the good choices, and it humanizes the people making the bad choices, and I just find that interesting. It leaves a lot of room for potential heartbreak, friendships, and stuff that wouldn’t be possible if we were all fully-fledged adults.”

Counting down days till the premiere, ‘Gen V: The Boys Spinoff’ promises a thrilling journey into the complexities of morality, identity, and the enduring bonds that hold their universe together. The spinoff will help the fans and viewers witness the rise of the next generation of heroes and villains, premiering exclusively on Prime Video in 240+ countries and territories worldwide.
