A trailer dropped Saturday during CCXP doesn’t reveal much about the plot, but does give a peak at the cast of characters, led by The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina‘s Jaz Sinclair.
Set at America’s only college exclusively for young adult superheroes (run by Vought International), Gen V explores the lives of hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the school’s top ranking.
Whatever is going down at that school involves a lot of bloodshed, as indicated by the many shots of the cast completely covered in blood (and the one of someone scraping organs off a sidewalk). You can watch the entire trailer below.
The series also stars Chance Perdomo (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Lizze Broadway (The Rookie), Shelley Conn (Liar), Maddie Phillips (Teenage Bounty Hunters), London Thor (Shameless (US)), Derek Luh (Shining Vale), Asa Germann (Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story), Patrick Schwarzenegger (The Terminal List (2022)), Sean Patrick Thomas (For All Mankind (2019)), and Marco Pigossi (Invisible City (2021)).
Gen V is set to debut on Prime Video in 2023. The series is produced by Sony Pictures Television Studios and Amazon Studios, in association with Kripke Enterprises, Point Grey Pictures, and Original Film.

Moritz, Ori Marmur, Pavun Shetty, Ken Levin, Jason Netter, Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson, Craig Rosenberg, Zak Schwartz, Erica Rosbe, and Michaela Starr also serve as executive producers.
