After the gigantic success of The Boys, a new spinoff series was announced which is titled, Gen V featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s son, Patrick as Golden Boy. Back in 2022, the young star appeared in an episode of the Just for Variety podcast where he revealed the shocking reaction he got from his father when the former got aware of it.
He revealed that he showed him the photos from the set of his new series, however, he was astonished since the action star was completely foreign to the mega-famous series.

‘He looked at me and he was like, “What the f*ck are you filming?” 

The 29-year-old actor then had to explain to him what the project was about.

“I was like, “It’s this show called The Boys. You have to watch an episode to understand it, or else I can’t articulate what happens in it.’

He also urged his father to watch the series to understand what exactly it is all about. While many details were undisclosed at the time including his segment in the new project, it is now ready to be shown to the world.

The Boys is a gritty, unhinged, and terrific superhero show which quickly became fans’ favorite. The program is filled with enormous violence and explicit content, which further amplified its overall popularity. When the fans demanded more content, its spin-off, Gen V came into existence.
