Gen V is a series that is set in the universe of The Boys. Unlike the first spin-off titled The Boys Presents: Diabolical, Gen V is canon, and it will set up The Boys Season 4. So, how many episodes will Gen V have?
Gen V follows a group of young adult supes who are trained to be the next generation of heroes. The series takes place at Godolkin University, which is run by Vought International.
These aspiring heroes compete for the university’s top ranking. However, when the university’s dark secrets come to light, the students think about what type of heroes they want to be.
The young supes in Gen V include Marie Moreau, a supe who can manipulate blood; Emma Meyer, a size-shrinking supe; Andre Anderson, a metal bender; Cate Dunlap, a supe with empath abilities; Jordan Li, a supe who can change between male and female forms; and more.

The official synopsis for Gen V reads:
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?
