An official teaser trailer for ‘Gen V’ has been released. As a spin-off for the superhero Prime Video series ‘The Boys’, the trailer gives us a look at what we can expect from the upcoming show ahead of its September 29th premiere. The spin-off will follow a group of new students attending Godolkin University – a school named after John Godolkin, where the superpowered can train and learn more about their abilities. Setting the scene, the teaser opens up with familiar faces of A-Train, Queen Maeve, and Homelander, followed by quick flashes of things going terribly wrong.

Just like ‘The Boys,’ the teaser trailer for ‘Gen V’ promises the same amount of blood, gore, and strong language with images of blood, guts, and violent action sequences. While a school welcome announcement calls the university “a safe space to thrive,” the teaser shows just how competitive the students can be. Lead character Marie Moreau who dreams of being the first Black woman in The Seven is told she could be the top-ranking freshman in the history of the school, but given the competitive nature of the school, it will also place a target on her back.

It seems there’ll be more than just a group of highly competitive superpowered students doing the damage in the series, as there’s a line in the trailer alluding to more, “There are dangerous, evil people at that school.” Clancy Brown’s Richard “Rich” Brinkerhoff (also known as Coach Brink) ominous line of “Being a hero is not about glory, it’s about sacrifice,’ hints that not everyone will graduate from Goldolkin University. And from the looks of it, aside from the blood and gore, we’re getting dismembered puppets as well.

The series is set to premiere with three episodes, with subsequent episodes airing weekly.
