FOLLOWING the success of the American satirical superhero drama series The Boys, Prime Video has produced a spin-off called Gen V.
The new series transports viewers to Godolkin University where young superheroes train.
Although not all superheroes start out corrupt, the newbies must navigate the normal college experience of finding oneself and partying as well as face explosive situations.
And when the group of young supes discover that something bigger and sinister is going on at school, they're put to the test.
So will they be the heroes or the villains of their stories?
Two of the main cast, Jaz Sinclair and Chance Perdomo, are excited to portray the young upstarts.
Sinclair, who plays Marie Moreau, says her character can wield blood. "At the beginning of this series, I'm under the impression that it's only my blood that I can wield, so I cut my hands to use my power."
Talking about Godolkin University, Sinclair says the establishment is "THE" college for superheroes.
"If you want to be a successful superhero, if you want to represent a city and ever make it to The Seven, you have to go through Godolkin. That's how you get your training and acclaim. So, it's sort of like superhero starter school."
Sinclair says the superheroes who haven't been corrupted yet in Gen V were what made the show interesting.
"In the Gen V world, the kids are still idealistic. They're not fully formed into either a hero or a villain.
"For me, that was a really interesting topic and a really interesting time.
"In all of their lives because I feel like it gives us a chance to know where everybody came from and to watch the unfolding of them becoming the kind of hero that they're gonna become.
"I just find it fascinating because it humanises everybody, the people making the good choices and those making the bad choices, and I just find that interesting.
"It leaves a lot of room for potential heartbreak, friendships, and stuff that wouldn't be possible if we were all fully fledged adults," she says.
Sinclair adds that she loves the story arc of her character.
"I love Marie's arc. I love that she comes into this school in survival, solo and goal mode, and then is just constantly surprised along the way.
"She's surprised by her relationships and her friendships, and the horrors of the school and the crumbling of this system that she was taught to trust. And most of all, her gaining power."
Perdomo, who plays Andre Anderson, says that his character wants to step out of his famous father's shadow.
"Polarity is this big-time superhero who didn't quite make it to The Seven but he's up there. He's up there, and his name holds prestige in entertainment and in the practical superhero aspect.
"He's a charmer, he's a slacker, and he doesn't want any responsibility whatsoever," he says of his character, who possesses magnetic manipulation capabilities.
Perdomo adds that he loves the show due to its social commentary without it inherently being philosophical commentary.
"It speaks to society, but doesn't penalise or chastise people for the answers that they come to.
"So, some people might not want to be a hero. They might just want to make money. Some people might want to actually only be a hero, but then within that there's, 'what is a hero to you'?"
On first walking onto the set, Perdomo says he was enthralled by the production that really built a world around the cast.
"It's been so beautiful and enriching to act in these sets because sometimes they look too real.
"Sometimes it really does look too real, like the woods. I can't stay there for long. It's creepy, and they do such a good job."
Gen V is available on Prime Video.
