The Deep is leaving behind the big fish of The Seven to swim with the guppies at Godolkin University asEWreports thatChace Crawfordwill be reprising his role of the fishy Supe inThe Boysspin-off series,Gen V. A man of many talents,The Deepcan not only communicate with creatures of - well - the deep, but he also has a tender heart that gets him into trouble - and cults! Viewed as the littleb****brother of The Seven, the last few seasons ofThe Boyshave seen The Deep bending to the will ofAntony Starr’s sadistic Homelander. Out from under the crushing pressure of Homelander, hopefully, The Deep will float to the top inGen V, butwe’re also worried about the young women of Godolkin U who will need to stay vigilant of his creepy ways.
Crawford is the latest star from the original Prime Video series to make his way into the spin-off. He’ll join the likes ofJensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy,Jessie T. Usher’s A-Train,Colby Minifie’s Ashley Barrett,Claudia Doumit’s Congresswoman Victoria Neuman, andP.J. Byrne’s Adam Bourke who have all been previously revealed to appear inGen Vin cameo capacities. Last year, a teaser revealed that students would be learning a thing or two from apuppet version of The Deep, so it’ll be interesting to see if they weave the live-action character in with the puppet and how the two may interact.
InGen V, audiences will beintroduced to a group of up-and-coming Supeswith impressionable minds as we meet the students of Godolkin University. The academy is a place for those with superhuman abilities to better practice their power and fast-track them to becoming standout citizens of the Superhero community - perhaps even earning a coveted spot among The Seven. Specifically, the series will follow freshman student Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair) a blood manipulator, whoaccidentally uncovers sinister secretsthat goall the way to the top of Vought International.
When DoesGen VTake Place?
The spin-off will line up with the third season ofThe Boyswhich is howAckles’ Soldier Boywill find himself making an appearance as the character was put on ice at the tail end of Season 3. It’ll also likely coincide with The Deep’s trauma of being forced to chow down on his bestie (and love interest)Timothy the Octopus.
Along with Sinclair,Gen Vwill alsofeature performancesfromChance Perdomo,Lizze Broadway,Derek Luh,Patrick Schwarzenegger,London Thor,Maddie Phillips,Sean Patrick Thomas,Clancy Brown,Jason Ritter, andMarco Pigossi.
