With the second season of Prime Video’s Gen V coming quickly, Jaz Sinclair has opened up on what followers can count on. “The tone is a little bit darker, at least at the start,” Sinclair stated on the Monte-Carlo TV Festival, Saturday.
There will, nevertheless, be lighter moments amid the darkness, she added: “It’s still just as funny, and there’s love and stuff, but I think overall, our characters have been through so much now that we’re a little bit more jaded.”
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina star Sinclair collected the Golden Nymph award for Most Promising Talent on the Festival’s opening, Friday, and was then available to speak about Gen V forward of its launch on Prime Video on September 17.
In The Boys spin-off, Sinclair performs Marie Moreau, whose main superpower is blood manipulation, or Hemokinesis. She stated she was pleased with the best way the superhero collection is written and put collectively. “I love the satire element of it,” she stated. “I love the political elements. I love that our show isn’t scared to touch on taboo things.”
Prime Video shared footage of Season 2 at CCXP México final month. The official blurb for the brand new season reads: “Parties and classes are hard to care about with war brewing between Humans and Supes, both on and off campus. The gang learns of a secret program that goes back to the founding of Godolkin University that may have larger implications than they realize. And, somehow, Marie (Sinclair) is a part of it.”
Coming from the identical universe as The Boys, Sinclair was requested concerning the relationship between that present and Gen V. “We get a lot of fans from The Boys who like the exploding body parts and all of the superhero stuff, but I think our show appeals to a different audience as well,” she stated. “I think we are similar tonally, but I think we also have our own thing going.”
She added that there may very well be life after faculty for Marie given breadth of The Boys franchise. “They’ve set up the universe so beautifully, it’s so expansive already. You know, I’m a grown-up, so eventually I’d like to leave college. But if we did, if we did leave college, there’s a lush landscape for us already set.”
Gen V is produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios, in affiliation with Kripke Enterprises, Point Grey Pictures, and Original Film.
