Godolkin University's sophomore year is set to start, and Prime Video's Gen V Season 2 will bring back some old and new characters. The Boys spinoff will provide more mayhem, surprising alliances, and a closer look at the world of Supes. At Comic-Con in San Diego, a new trailer was shown that gave fans a sneak peek at the intense storylines and character growth that will happen in the next season.
The second season of "Gen V," a spinoff of Prime Video's smash superhero show "The Boys," is about to start. New and old characters are coming to Godolkin University.
What We Know So Far About Gen V Season 2
On September 17, 2025, Prime Video will show the first three episodes of Gen V Season 2. The rest of the episodes will be out every week until the season finale on October 22, 2025.
Looking at the Official Gen V Season 2 Trailer
The new teaser from San Diego Comic-Con indicates that Jaz Sinclair will be back as Marie Moreau, Lizze Broadway will be back as Emma Meyer, London Thor and Derek Luh will be back as Jordan Li, and Asa Germann will be back as Sam Riordan. The trailer starts with Erin Moriarty's Starlight saving Marie. Starlight will play a big part in the next season. Marie is given the job of looking into a top-secret research program at Godolkin called "Project Odessa," which was started by the school's founder, Thomas Godolkin. The trailer also hints at the appearance of additional characters from The Boys, such as Nathan Mitchell's Black Noir and Chace Crawford's The Deep.
The second season of Gen V is going to be great. The first complete teaser was shown at the series' Friday Comic-Con presentation, which teased the show's fans.
Important plot points and links to the world of The Boys
Gen V Season 2 starts right after The Boys Season 4, when Homelander's power is expanding and changing America. Michele Fazekas, the show's creator, said that Gen V Season 2 will illustrate what Homelander's takeover means for the country and Godolkin University, as well as what the resistance will look like. The series will also tell us where some of The Boys' characters are who were taken by Homelander's troops.
The Homelander Effect: Godolkin Under His Iron Fist
As Homelander gains more authority, Godolkin University is now run by a new Dean, Hamish Linklater's Dean Cipher. Dean Cipher thinks that Supes are better than everyone else and wants to turn Godolkin pupils into soldiers as part of Homelander's plan. The new curriculum says it would make pupils stronger than ever, which makes it seem like there is a bad reason behind it.
Taking apart the "Supe Virus" and what it means
The "supe virus" plot arc that started in Gen V Season 1 will still have big effects. At the end of Season 1, Victoria Neuman had the virus that was meant to kill Supes. The Season 2 teaser hints at a hidden program that has been around since Godolkin University was founded and may be connected to the virus's origins. This plot could lead to a big fight in The Boys Season 5. Some people think Soldier Boy might have the answer to a cure or immunity.
Who's Who in Season 2: New and Returning Cast Members
Ethan Slater will play Thomas Godolkin, the founder and namesake of Godolkin University, in a recurring role. Adding him is thought to help us learn more about the university's history and how it relates to Vought's work with Supes. Sean Patrick Thomas, who plays Andre Anderson's father Polarity, has been made a regular on the show.
How Chance Perdomo's Death Affected Andre Anderson's Story
The death of Chance Perdomo, who played Andre Anderson, had a big effect on the production of Season 2. The producers said that Andre's part will not be recast. Instead, they have "recrafted" the storylines for Season 2 to commemorate Perdomo's memory. Michele Fazekas, the show's creator, said that Andre "exists throughout the entire season" and that the season is "about Andre and about Chance" in many ways. The teaser suggests that Andre's absence will be the main mystery, with Polarity apparently looking for his lost kid or getting back at him for his death.
Gen V Season 2 goes on without Andre Anderson, the character played by Chance Perdomo, who died in a horrible way earlier this year. Andre died offscreen between seasons, and his character's absence will be felt and spoken about throughout the series.
A closer look at fan theories and predictions for Gen V Season 2
Marie, Cate, Sam, and Jordan's character arcs in Season 2
Marie Moreau, Emma Meyer, and Jordan Li go back to Godolkin University, but they don't want to because they are still dealing with pain and loss from being framed for the God U carnage. People praise Cate Dunlap and Sam Riordan as heroes, and it looks like they are working with Homelander. Some people think that Marie could become a major player in the fight against Homelander, maybe even stronger than him. Emma might find new methods to use her skills to get smaller. The relationship between these people will be at the heart of the story that unfolds this season.
Cameos and crossovers: The Boys characters in Gen V Season 2
Marie and her companions will get a "superb role" from Erin Moriarty's Starlight. Marie could be an ally to Butcher's gang against Homelander in The Boys Season 5 if she appears in Gen V Season 2. The Deep and Black Noir are both confirmed to be in the show, which suggests that the two series' plots will be even more connected.
As you would expect from a spinoff of The Boys, the first season of Gen V didn't shy away from gore. It appears like the second season won't either.
Before Gen V Season 2, here's a quick recap of Season 1's main storylines.
Marie Moreau, a blood manipulator, was introduced in Season 1 of Gen V when she started attending Godolkin University. She rapidly became caught up in a plot involving "The Woods," a secret Vought facility under the campus where Supes were tested on. Dean Indira Shetty was designing a virus to destroy Supes because her family died in an incident related to Homelander. Homelander praised Cate and Sam as heroes at the end of the season, while Marie, Andre, Jordan, and Emma were all in jail.
The people that made Gen V are still dealing with the sad death of Chance Perdomo. The actor, who played student Andre Anderson in the spinoff series of The Boys, died in March at the age of 27 in a motorbike accident. His rep told PEOPLE at the time, and the Prime Video series has talked about how his death will affect the second season.
