"More shocking," of course, is no guarantee of sharper satire or stronger storytelling, so it remains to be seen how "Gen V" fares in that department.
With 'The Boys,' maybe it requires one extra five-minute phone call, where they're like, 'Really?', and you're like, 'Really.' There are other things you're on hours of phone calls about that are so much less interesting than that." "In general, if you're making an R-rated thing, they let you do whatever the f*** you want, unless there's some real legal thing that they think you might be bumping against. "The fact that they're in college, they're a little younger, makes it more shocking maybe." Getting Prime Video to sign off on these shenanigans isn't as difficult as you might imagine, either. "'Gen V' has some really crazy s*** in it," Rogen said. However successful "Gen V" ultimately proves in building upon its parent series in a creative sense, rest assured, it will deliver the gross-out goods. Just as importantly, "Gen V" will join "The Boys," "Invincible," "Preacher," "Santa Inc.," and the incoming "Sausage Party" sequel series "Foodtopia" among the ranks of the Rogen/Goldberg Television Universe (they should probably just make life easier for all of us and merge their names into "Rogberg" or "Goldgen" already) - a place where there's no such thing as a scene that's too violent or a joke that's too vulgar, assuming it's punching up. Described by Prime Video as "part college show, part 'Hunger Games' - with all the heart, satire, and raunch of 'The Boys,'" the series will continue to expand the "Boys" Cinematic Universe (trademark pending) that already encompasses the animated "Diabolical" anthology shorts and, in a sense, the faux-news digital series/viral marketing shorts "Seven on 7." That looks to hold doubly true for "Gen V," the show's upcoming spin-off about a group of "supes" studying at Vought International's Godolkin University School of Crimefighting.
