GEN V Soundtrack: “Gen V” is an American superhero television series developed by Craig Rosenberg, Evan Goldberg, and Eric Kripke, serving as a spin-off of “The Boys”. It is loosely based on the comic book story arc “We Gotta Go Now” by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.
The series premiered on Amazon Prime Video on September 29, 2023. The show follows young adult superheroes who are tested in battle royal challenges at Godolkin University School of Crimefighting, operated by Vought International. The cast includes Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Maddie Phillips, Derek Luh, London Thor, Asa Germann, Shelley Conn, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, Alexander Calvert, and others.
Update (2026): Gen V Season 2 aired from September 17 to October 22, 2025. Lead actor Chance Perdomo, who played Andre Anderson, died in a motorcycle accident on March 30, 2024; his character was not recast, and Andre’s death was written into Season 2’s story. On April 24, 2026, Amazon confirmed that Gen V would not return for a Season 3, ending the series after two seasons — though the show’s creators have said the characters will continue to appear in The Boys Season 5 and other upcoming projects in the same universe.
GEN V Soundtrack (Theme)
A spin-off of The Boys was announced on September 20, 2020. Craig Rosenberg wrote and executive produced the series alongside Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Michaela Starr, Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson, Sarah Carbiener, Erica Rosbe, Aisha Porter-Christie, Judalina Neira, and Zak Schwartz.
On September 27, 2021, Amazon ordered the series, and Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters were set as showrunners and executive producers. Kripke said the Hunger Games-inspired series would focus on the G-Men team mentioned in the first season of The Boys, a concept originally planned for Ennis and Robertson’s comic book story arc “We Gotta Go Now”, from which the series is loosely inspired.
GEN V Soundtrack (Composer)
Royal Delux
Royal Deluxe is a collaboration between international recording artists Tyrone Wells, Sam Getz, and Jimmy Weaver of the Cleveland-based alt band Welshly Arms. Their sound is aggressive, decadent alternative rock tied together with incredible instrumentals and lyricism.
In 2015, Royal Deluxe released their self-titled debut EP, consisting of seven high-octane alt songs filled with retro soul, gritty vocals, and powerful throwback hooks. The trio quickly amassed a substantial following, with many of their songs reaching millions of streams worldwide.
GEN V Soundtrack (OST)
Here’s the trailer Teaser Song from the Gen V Soundtrack Series:
