During an interview in SFX Magazine, which was occured before the SAG-AFTRA strike, Gen V lead actress Jaz Sinclair revealed the advice she and the cast got from Jack Quaid, who plays Hughie Campbell on The Boys.

“Oh yeah, Jack Quaid!. He was just like, ‘Stay a family, stay a team. This is where it’s at. If you guys have each other, you’ll get through this. So, don’t lose sight of that.’

This is the real family, you know, talking about the cast and, like, really being unified. And I value that because you can feel that when they’re together.”

Sinclair also called Gen V a “labor of love” as the entire cast and crew poured their hearts and souls into the show. She added that the show contains “[our] blood, sweat and tears, lack of sleep, intense scenes, crazy action. I really hope that people love it, ’cos we loved making it.”
