“In this show, we aren’t only following the Supes in terms of their journey about becoming Supes. We’re following their journey in terms of how they’re becoming people.” <\/p>

If you\u2019re looking for your fix of superhero antics mixed with blood, gore and depravity, then you don\u2019t need to wait for The Boys<\/a> season 4 \u2013 Gen V<\/a> is here to plug the gap.<\/p>\n

Gen V<\/a> is a spin-off to the Prime Video<\/a> series which focusses on the students at Godolkin University, a prestigious superhero-only college where students train to be the next generation of heroes.<\/p>\n

The cast is led by the likes of Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Asa Germann, and Germann recently explained how this series differs most fundamentally with The Boys.<\/p>\n

In an interview which took place during production and before the SAG\/AFTRA strike, Germann said: \u201cIn The Boys, we\u2019re seeing a bunch of superheroes where they wound up. We see Homelander as the leader of the Seven. And we see the Seven, we follow people like The Deep and A-Train and Starlight as they kind of navigate their journey through this industry, this business, the world that they\u2019ve created.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut in this show, we aren\u2019t only following the Supes in terms of their journey about becoming Supes. We\u2019re following their journey in terms of how they\u2019re becoming people, and how they\u2019re growing up and evolving and learning and creating relationships and destroying relationships, and really at a core, like figuring out what it means to be a hero.\u201d<\/p>\n
