Get your superhero suits ready and head back to Vought International because the spinoff of Amazon-based “The Boys” has an official title: “Gen V.”
The title is a clever reference to today’s young Gen Z and the show’s super-power chemistry known as compound V. Cast members announced the title in a new video shared on social media.
Currently in production, the next spinoff will be the third original Prime Video series set in this universe after the main show “The Boys” and the animated March spinoff “The Boys Presents: Diabolical. ”

“Gen V” stars Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas and Marco Pigossi.
