Bloody New Trailer For ‘The Boys’ Sequel ‘Gen V’ Reveals New Stars And Special Guests
College is tough for the best of students, but most only have to face problems like too much homework, early class times and crippling student loan debt. The students at Vought Internationals’ Godolkin University have another worry: getting massacred.
There’s a lot of blood, gore and entrails in Gen V, the spinoff to Prime’s successful superhero series The Boys, The trailer includes scenes violence and gore: a handgun trigger being pulled, bloody bodies, a shovel being used to clean the blood and guts off the floor, more than one character drenched in blood and someone being lassoed by what look like intestines. Oh, and there’s puppets.
The main character Marie, played by Jaz Sinclair, was one of the kids sent to live at the Red River Institute for young supes who can’t control their abilities. Footage in the teaser shows a little girl, who might be a young Marie, staring crossed-legged at the wall of a bathroom looking at two people, possibly her parents, lying dead in a pool of blood.
The teaser clip was revealed at the CCXP con in Sao Paolo, Brazil, on Saturday and introduces America’s only college exclusively for young adult superheroes, run by the evil Vought International. According to the initial synopsis, the series “explores the lives of hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the school’s top ranking.”
The video shows that Clancy Brown (Billions, Sleepy Hollow), Alexander Calvert (Supernatural) and Jason Ritter (Raising Dion, Parenthood) have been cast in the upcoming series. There are also appearances by established Boys characters who will make a guest appearance on the show, including Jessie T. Usher’s A-Train, Colby Minifie’s Ashley Barrett and P.J. Byrne’s Dawn of the Seven director Adam Bourke.
The regular cast of Gen V includes Sinclair and Chance Perdomo from Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Lizze Broadway (Here and Now), Shelley Conn (Bridgerton), Maddie Phillips (Teenage Bounty Hunters), London Thor (Shameless), Derek Luh (Shining Vale), Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger (The Staircase), Sean Patrick Thomas (For All Mankind) and Marco Pigossi (Brazil’s Invisible City).
Though Boys showrunner Eric Kripke is involved in Gen V, he’s mainly preoccupied with the OG Supe show, which is filming season 4 in Canada now. Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters serve as showrunners and executive producers for Gen V, which will be released some time in 2023.
