Gen V is back on Prime Video with a second season and the satirical superhero series is a spin-off of The Boys.

Lizze Broadway stars as Emma Meyer, nicknamed Little Cricket due to her power to shrink by "purging" or eating.

Born Elizabeth Broadway, the 27-year-old actress is also known for her roles in The Rookie, Splitting Up Together and Here and Now.

She began her acting career in the crime drama Southland, playing Brooks Ryerson, and later joined the cast of Shameless.

Fans may be interested to hear she had a brief role in NCIS back in 2018, playing the role of Mandy in the episode Family Ties.

Born in Toledo, Ohio to school teacher parents, she moved to LA with her family when she was nine years old.

She began acting as a hobby and quickly found success booking guest star roles in big shows like Chicago PD and Bones.

Gen V fans hailed her the "most relatable and funny" character of the series on Reddit, calling Emma the "only unproblematic" figure.

As for her personal life, the star was in a relationship with Cobra Kai's Tanner Buchanan in 2019.

While speaking on the Anna Faris Is Unqualified podcast in 2021, Buchanan revealed he and the Gen V star had been together since they were teenagers.

They briefly broke up in 2015 before rekindling their romance, as he confessed: "It was my fault. I was actually kind of being an a** during that time. So she had every right to [break up with me]."

However, the couple eventually parted ways, with Buchanan going on to propose to his Cobra Kai co-star, Mary Mouser.

At this moment in time, Broadway appears to be single.
