The world of The Boys is expanding with the spinoff series, Gen V, which follows young recruits as they train to become superheroes. However, sinister things are happening behind the scenes, and these students will have to come together to find out the truth and decide whether they’ll become the heroes or villains of their journey.
Today, Amazon Studios has released an orientation video with Clancy Brown as Professor Richard “Brink” Brinkerhoff, the crimefighting department chair at Godolkin University. What kind of super are you? That’s the question the video asks of the new students.

About Gen V
Set in the diabolical world of The Boys, Gen V expands the universe to Godolkin University, the prestigious superhero-only college where students train to be the next generation of heroes – preferably with lucrative endorsements. You know what happens when supes go bad, but not all superheroes start out corrupt. Beyond the typical college chaos of finding oneself and partying, these kids are facing explosive situations…literally. As the students vie for popularity and good grades, it’s clear that the stakes are much higher when super powers are involved. When the group of young supes discover that something bigger and sinister is going on at school, they’re put to the test: will they be the heroes or the villains of their stories?
The series cast includes Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Marco Pigossi. Gen V also features guest stars Clancy Brown and Jason Ritter, as well as appearances from Jessie T. Usher, Colby Minifie, and P.J. Byrne, reprising their roles from The Boys.
