Gen V

Powered by Reelgood

The Boys spinoff Gen V is finally here! And the first three episodes have already brought with them exploding body parts, multiple deaths, and a raunchy sex scene that stands with anything that’s aired on The Boys.

Set at the fictional Godolkin University, the college-based spinoff focuses on the first generation of superheroes who know they were created by a shady deal between their parents and the Vought Corporation; and not given their powers by act of god, or nature. Consequently, the students at the school are more focused on fame than heroism… That is, until one of their number ***spoilers*** kills the school’s Dean and then violently explodes, raining bloody chunks of his own body everywhere.

Why did Golden Boy (Patrick Schwarzenegger) kill Dean Brink (Clancy Brown), and then himself? What’s up with The Woods, the mysterious facility holding Golden Boy’s brother Sam (Asa Germann) captive? And what will Emma (Lizze Broadway) do now that she’s trapped inside with Sam?

Obviously, you’re going to want to tune in to find out more. That’s where we come in! We’ve got your full Gen V episode guide to get you up to speed faster than A-Train.
