Info in Movie News | Amazon Prime Video has locked in the return date for Gen V, the wild college-set spinoff of The Boys. Fans can catch the first three episodes of Season 2 starting September 17, followed by weekly releases every Wednesday, wrapping with the finale on October 22.
According to Variety, the new season shifts gears with higher stakes both inside and outside Godolkin University. Marie Moreau (played by Jaz Sinclair) returns to campus after the chaos of Season 1, weighed down by trauma and haunted memories. Alongside Jordan Li (London Thor and Derek Luh) and Emma Meyer (Lizze Broadway), Marie is pulled back into a world she never truly escaped from.
Things aren’t as simple as parties and study groups anymore. With America adjusting to Homelander’s growing dominance, Godolkin has its own new leader, Dean Cipher, played by Hamish Linklater. He brings a radical new curriculum that promises to make students “more powerful than ever,” but naturally, it comes with ominous undertones.
Cate (Maddie Phillips) and Sam (Asa Germann) are now being hailed as campus heroes, while others like Marie are left to question their roles in a twisted system. Beneath it all lies a hidden program that traces back to the founding of the university, one that could change everything they thought they knew, and Marie may be more involved than she ever imagined.
The teaser trailer also honors the late Chance Perdomo, who played Andre Anderson. Perdomo tragically passed away in a motorcycle accident in March 2024. Rather than recasting his role, the show weaves his absence into the story. Andre’s father, Polarity (Sean Patrick Thomas), is shown confronting Dean Cipher and demanding answers about what Vought really did to his son.
Season 2 doesn't change the gritty, dark situation which viewers have liked but there are fresh emotional elements to it. The people who are responsible for the development are Michele Fazekas as the returning showrunner and Eric Kripke, the long-term creator of The Boys, as executive producer. Thus, the creative part of the project is very powerful. Another important role is taken by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and the original comic creators Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.
Season 1 of Gen V successfully balanced absurd superhero satire with deep personal stakes. Season 2 promises to go even further, more intense, more political, and definitely more dangerous. If you thought surviving college was hard before, Marie’s second semester looks like an all-out war.
Mark your calendars, because come September, the fight at Godolkin is just getting started.
