College can be a bloody mess and Prime Video‘s new series Gen V is delving into the drama of it all, but with a superhero twist. The show acts as a spinoff to the streamer’s highly successful, action-packed comedy The Boys. It officially lands on the streaming platform starting Thursday (Sept. 28) at 8 p.m. ET.

Expect just as much gore, violence, drama and, of course, mystery as a new generation of super-human students claw (and probably even kill) their way to the top rankings of a superhero-only school. Just like the show it takes inspiration from, the series is a Prime Original, which means you’ll need a Prime membership or Prime Video subscription to watch. Amazon is offering a 30-day free trial for new users though — click here to launch it now.


Unlike The Boys, the series will focus on a new cast of characters who attend the prestigious Godolkin University — the sole supes-only school in America. Students must juggle training with getting good grades, all in the hopes one day having the chance to be a part of The Seven alongside Homelander, A-Train and The Deep. It’s only when a group of students discover sinister going on within the school, they’re then faced with whether they want to become the heroes or villains of their own story.
