GEN V: Godolkin's Students Uncover A Conspiracy In Seriously F*cked Up Red Band Trailer

Amazon has released a new red-band trailer for The Boys spin-off series, Gen V, and it gives us a much better idea of what to expect from the plot... while also highlighting some brutal violence!

"You're f*cked up. I'm f*cked up. The one thing that is really apparent now, is that we're all f*cked up."

Based on what we see in this new red-band trailer for Prime Video's upcoming The Boys spin-off, Gen V, we'd say that is a pretty accurate assessment.

The latest teaser for the series features plenty of new footage, as protagonist Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair) and her classmates attempt to adapt to life in the prestigious Godolkin University, which trains young Supes and teaches them to harness/control their abilities.

Unfortunately, the campus seems to be far from the "safe space" it's been sold as.

In addition to some seriously bloody carnage on display (we now know why that chick was covered in blood in the initial announcement spot), the trailer gives us a better idea of what to expect from the plot, as the students seemingly uncover some kind of conspiracy involving mysterious Supe experiments.

Check out the promo below, and keep an eye out for a few familiar faces from The Boys.

Gen V is partially based on the "We Gotta Go Now" story arc from The Boys comic series, written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Darick Robertson. The show takes place at the same time as The Boys season 4, and Jensen Ackles and Jessie T. Usher are expected to reprise their respective roles as Soldier Boy and A-Train, along with cast mates Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and PJ Byrne.

In Gen V, the students at Godolkin will be "put their physical and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the school’s highly coveted 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. When the university’s dark secrets come to light, the students must come to grips with what type of heroes they are going to become.”

Gen V also stars Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas and Marco Pigossi. The series guest stars Clancy Brown and Jason Ritter, while Jessie T. Usher, Claudia Doumit, Colby Minifie, and P.J. Byrne will reprise their roles from The Boys.

The first three episodes of Gen V arrive on Prime Video on September 29, with the rest of the series releasing weekly every Friday.

Over gross overkill so they can run the Boys into the ground like Hollwood does with all great properties.

@DocSpock - in fairness, the comics already did that. I know alot of people who actually prefer the show to the comics because the comics are just gross overkill.

If anything you should be happy they are being true to the source material here lol

@SATW42 -

That's true.

I just think about great franchises like Star Wars, Walking Dead, Predator, Alien, Terminator, etc. that got run into the ground.

@SATW42 - it’s ironic people want stuff exactly like comics but comes to boys they like stuff in reverse show over comics

@MarkCassidy

Why do you keep saying AMC? Am I missing something? Genuine question, I don’t live in the U.S so have no idea if AMC has partners with Amazon for this or something like that

@CerealKiller1 - It's Amazon. I think it says AMC cause of the Darryl Dixon show. Did Mark write the article for that?

Looks nice (and "nice" as if it actually has a story thread to follow and it isn't just mindless debauchery) and I can already tell that the S1 mystery will be exploring and potentially exposing "The Woods" sub-section at that college.

But like CerealKiller1 said, why is this even from AMC? Last time I checked it isn't, it's still a production from Prime Video. No way AMC would get away with showing all this amount of violence of this level. It's probably a typo.

I'm looking forward to know Jaz Sinclair and Chance Perdomo's characters since I liked them in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. (I think you also forgot to credit him in the cast list BTW)

Looks good, I love The Boys. Hopefully they won't rinse the fu*k out of it and ruining another great series.
