  Info in Movie News | Wednesday Addams is back at Nevermore Academy, and no, she’s not thrilled about it. With new enemies lurking, a stalker sending cryptic threats, and her name now plastered all over campus like some reluctant rockstar, Wednesday’s sophomore year is shaping up to be even stranger than the last. According to The Guardian, Season 2 opens with a flash of chaos. After saving Nevermore from the undead pilgrim Joseph Crackstone in Season 1, Wednesday has earned a cult-like following among her peers. However, the goth queen of gloom is rather unimpressed. However, the goth queen of gloom is not satisfied. “I liked it better when I was feared and hated,” she grumbles, while her peers gather around her, begging for autographs. But there’s no time for admiration, or personal space. Within minutes of the first episode, we’re introduced to a fresh villain, the Kansas City Scalper. He’s a doll-collecting, serial-killing dog groomer in a velour tracksuit played with greasy ...

Gen V Season 2 Premieres Sept 17, Marie Faces New War at Godolkin
 

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.
