Chance Perdomo Reveals What He Loves About The Boys spin-off: Gen V; Gives Deets On Karaoke With ‘Black Noir’

Set in the diabolical world of The Boys, Prime Video's upcoming highly anticipated The Boys spin-off: Gen V broadens the universe to encompass Godolkin University, a renowned institution exclusively for aspiring superheroes who are honing their skills to become the future heroes, ideally securing lucrative endorsements along the way. Amidst the competition for popularity and top grades, it becomes evident that the stakes are significantly elevated when superpowers come into play. Amongst the eclectic mix of actors, the show stars Chance Perdomo (The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Killed by my Debt, After Series) as Andre Anderson, a junior at Godolkin University with magnetic powers.

Chance got candid about loving the fantasy fiction Amazon original. He said, "What do I personally love about the show? I love that it is a social commentary without it inherently being a philosophical commentary, that it speaks to our society as a whole but doesn't kind of penalize or chastise anybody for the answers that they come to." Further commenting on how the narrative was free from any judgments for its multifaceted characters, Chance said, "The parts of the story that resonate for me is that it really showcases the human aspects, powers or no powers, that there's something universal about everybody doing the best that they can with the cards that they have."

Giving a fun tid-bit from his shoot, Chance also mentioned how the fresh batch had an impromptu karaoke with one of the OGs of the original show The Boys. "I've got a really good story that in the beginning, just before we started filming, we went out to Koreatown and did some karaoke, and Nathan, who plays Black Noir, came out and showed some love and we sang a few songs." he said.

The series boasts an ensemble cast, which comprises Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Marco Pigossi. Notably, "Gen V" also includes guest appearances by Clancy Brown and Jason Ritter, along with cameos by Jessie T. Usher, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit and P.J. Byrne, reprising their roles from The Boys. The spinoff premieres exclusively on Prime Video in 240+ countries and territories worldwide, on September 29.
