Gen V S01E07: Congresswoman Neuman Asks That You Keep an Open Mind

Congresswoman Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) is set for a town hall meeting at "GodU" in Michele Fazekas & Tara Butters' Gen V S01E07.



Article Summary

  • Congresswoman Neuman visits Godolkin University in Gen V S01E07.
  • Episode examines plans to bridge the gap between humans and superhumans.
  • Finale of Gen V to connect closely with the subsequent season of The Boys.
  • Gen V and The Boys maintain separate, but interlinked storylines according to the showrunners.

The trailer for this week's episode of Michele Fazekas & Tara Butters' Gen V gave viewers the heads-up that Congresswoman & VP Candidate Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) would be making a visit to Godolkin University for a special "town hall" with the university. We also know that she's going to offer Marie (Jaz Sinclair) some sobering perspective on the decision she needs to make now that truths are starting to be revealed. Considering all of the plans that Neuman has in play on all sides, it would seem that what Dean Shetty (Shelley Conn) & Dr. Cardosa (Marco Pigossi) have cooked up in the Woods could be a major "WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS…" to have in her back pocket. With only hours to go before the next episode hits, we're getting a look at the poster for Neuman's event, where she plans "to discuss #SingerNeuman2024's plans to bridge the divide between humans and superhumans" (though Vought seems to be pushing an agenda by adding that the head of the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs (FBSA) has a "woke, anti-Super agenda"…

With that in "mind" (get it?), here's a look back at the official episode trailer for Prime Video's Chelsea Grate-written Gen V S01E07 – followed by a look at ways in which Gen V and The Boys will be feeding into one another moving forward:

Gen V Season Finale Will Be "Handoff" to The Boys Season 4 & More

In a recent interview with EW, Fazekas and The Boys Showrunner/EP Eric Kripke discussed just how closely the two shows will connect moving forward (especially now that the spinoff has been renewed for a second season) – while still allowing each show to be its own thing:

Kripke on "Gen V" Season 1 Finale Leading to "The Boys" Season 4 – and Beyond: "I don't think it's a spoiler to say that, by the end of season 1 of 'Gen V,' there's a handoff to season 4 of 'The Boys.' Then whenever we break season 4 of 'The Boys,' there will be a handoff to the hopeful [interview took place prior to renewal news] season 2 of 'Gen V.'"

Kripke & Fazekas Stay in Constant Communication: Kripke explained, "When they were breaking the virus storyline, they just had to be in regular communication with me in my room to understand, 'Is that a thing out in the world that'll be helpful to us or is it going to f*** us?'" Fazekas added, "Also, it can't get too complicated. You should be able to watch 'Gen V' and not watch 'The Boys.' You can watch 'The Boys' and not watch 'Gen V.' But [the shows] talking to each other and being consistent is always important."

Taking on the roles of the next generation of supes are Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Marco Pigossi. Joining them are guest stars Clancy Brown, Jason Ritter, and Derek Wilson – with Jensen Ackles, Jessie T. Usher, Claudia Doumit, Colby Minifie, Chace Crawford, and P.J.

With classes now officially in session, we've got the official "RED BAND" trailer for Amazon's Prime Video spinoff series to unleash upon your unsuspecting lives. Following a look at the series overview, we have both the "RED BAND" & original versions of the previously released teaser trailer and a rundown of who you need to know:

Set in the diabolical world of "The Boys," "Gen V" expands the universe to Godolkin University, the prestigious superhero-only college where students train to be the next generation of heroes—preferably with lucrative endorsements. You know what happens when supes go bad, but not all superheroes start out corrupt. Beyond the typical college chaos of finding oneself and partying, these kids are facing explosive situations … literally. As the students vie for popularity and good grades, it's clear that the stakes are much higher when superpowers are involved. When the group of young supes discover that something bigger and sinister is going on at school, they're put to the test: Will they be the heroes or the villains of their stories?
