Smash-hit superhero series The Boys is expanding its universe with a hugely anticipated spin-off, Gen V, which introduces the next generation of 'Supes' at the prestigious Godolkin University.

But unlike the self-involved, deeply corrupted 'heroes' in the original series, these youngsters have the potential to actually do good - with lucrative endorsements, of course.

The eight-part series follows 18-year-old freshman Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair), who has the ability to control and weaponise her own blood, while Andre Anderson (Chance Perdomo) has magnetic powers and is set to take over his father's superhero name, Polarity.
