Gen V is Prime Video's spinoff of The Boys, set at Godolkin University School of Criminology — America's only college for young superheroes. Darker and more character-focused than its parent show, it follows a group of young supes navigating power, privilege, and a sinister conspiracy. The show earned strong reviews and sets up storylines that continue in The Boys Season 4.
Gen V streams on Prime Video, included with any Amazon Prime subscription.
Yes — Gen V is set in the same universe as The Boys and takes place at the superhero university seen in the parent show. Some Boys characters appear.
It helps to have watched The Boys first to understand the world and some returning characters, but Gen V can be enjoyed as a standalone.
Gen V has 1 season as of 2025, with a second season in production. Season 1 consists of 8 episodes.
Gen V is very violent and graphic, consistent with The Boys universe. It is rated TV-MA and is not suitable for younger viewers.
