If you loved the bloody chaos, biting satire, and campus madness of Gen V, get ready — Season 2 is on the way, and it’s bigger, darker, and more intense. The Boys spin-off made serious waves with its first season, and now fans are counting down the days until the next round at Godolkin University.
Gen V Season 2 Release Date
Gen V Season 2 premieres on September 17, 2025, on Amazon Prime Video, kicking off with a three-episode drop. After that, new episodes will stream weekly every Wednesday, wrapping up with the finale on October 22, 2025. Season 1 dropped a little later in the year (Sept 29, 2023), so this one’s coming a bit earlier — and yes, filming is already wrapped as of November 2024.
Gen V Season 2 Cast Updates
Most of your favourites from Season 1 are back, along with some intriguing new additions.
Returning cast:
-
Jaz Sinclair as Marie Moreau, still mastering her bloody powers in a now militarized Godolkin.
-
Lizze Broadway as Emma Meyer, struggling with her identity and trauma.
-
Maddie Phillips as Cate Dunlap, now one of Godolkin’s so-called heroes.
-
London Thor & Derek Luh as Jordan Li, the gender-shifting Supe facing fresh challenges.
-
Asa Germann as Sam Riordan, trying to stay sane in a broken system.
-
Sean Patrick Thomas returns as Polarity, with a storyline honoring his on-screen son Andre.
New faces:
-

-
Plus a whole lineup of new characters played by Keeya King, Stephen Kalyn, Julia Knope, Stacey McGunnigle, Tait Fletcher, Wyatt Dorion, and Georgie Murphy.
Not returning:
-
Sadly, Chance Perdomo (Andre) passed away in 2024. His character won’t be recast, and the season’s been reworked to honor him.
-
Patrick Schwarzenegger (Golden Boy) is out — both because of his character’s death and his work on The White Lotus Season 3.
-
Shelley Conn (Indira Shetty) won’t return either — she didn’t survive Season 1.
Cameos to look for:
-
Chace Crawford returns as The Deep from The Boys, tightening the crossover.
-
Valorie Curry reprises her role as Firecracker, continuing the shared-universe threads.
What To Expect in Gen V Season 2
Season 2 kicks off after the wild ending of The Boys Season 4. Godolkin University isn’t the same anymore — it’s now training Supes as soldiers under the watch of Dean Cipher. Marie, Emma, and Jordan return to campus, mentally scarred and walking into a very different world. Meanwhile, Cate and Sam have become media darlings — the so-called “Guardians of Godolkin.”
There’s a lot going on: Homelander’s influence is creeping in, Vought’s grip is tightening, and a hidden program tied to the university’s origins could change everything. Expect more power games, moral gray zones, and the kind of madness only The Boys universe can deliver.
Showrunner Michele Fazekas is back to lead the charge, with The Boys creator Eric Kripke teasing this season as the “first glimpse into the new world” following Season 4’s fallout. Oh, and yes — keep an eye out for possible cameos from other Supes (looking at you, Zoey Neuman).
