Gen V Season 2: Everything we know
Prime VideoThe Gen V Season 2 release date is coming eventually, so here’s what we know about the current timeline, the cast, and the plot.
Gen V expanded The Boys’ universe with Godolkin University, Vought’s premier college for up-and-coming supes destined for a career in acting, crimefighting, or for the lucky few, a spot on The Seven alongside Homelander and co.
The fantasy series centers on Marie, a blood-bender with a traumatic past who quickly finds herself entangled in a disturbing, potentially “fatal” conspiracy involving rejected, abandoned supes.
We’re excited about how Gen V’s Season 1 finale set up Season 2, so let’s look at the most recent updates about the new episodes and the Gen V cast members returning.
What is the Gen V Season 2 release date?
Gen V Season 2 was to start filming in April 2024 but has been delayed following actor Chance Perdomo’s death. This will likely push the release date into late 2025.
On October 19, 2023, Amazon MGM Studios announced the second season.
The first table read was set for April 1, 2024. Following the news regarding Perdomo, who played Andre Anderson, production has been indefinitely delayed.
“The entire Gen V family is devastated by the sudden passing of Chance Perdomo. Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television extend our heartfelt thoughts and support to Chance’s family and all who loved him at this difficult time, “ the studios said in a joint statement on March 30, 2024.
Who’s in the Gen V Season 2 cast?
The remaining main characters from Gen V Season 1 are set to lead the Season 2 cast. This includes Jaz Sinclair as Marie Moreau and Lizze Broadway as Emma Meyer.
A few characters in Season 1 were written off ahead of the second season, but the core group is mostly intact.
We expect more Gen V cameos featuring The Boys characters, so keep an eye out for any Easter eggs in upcoming trailers. Anthony Starr’s Homelander appeared for a shocker-cameo in the Season 1 finale, but we don’t think the show will play the same ace card twice.
Perdomo was supposed to feature in Season 2, and it’s unclear how or if the series will address his absence. Hopefully, it’s handled in the most respectable way possible following his family’s wishes.
Gen V Season 2 cast list:
- Jaz Sinclair as Marie Moreau
- Lizze Broadway as Emma Meyer
- Maddie Phillips as Cate Dunlap
- London Thor as Jordan Li
- Derek Luh as Jordan Li
- Asa Germann as Sam
What is the Gen V Season 2 plot?
Season 2 of Gen V probably drops the University setting now that the group is Vought’s prisoners.
Prime VideoSeason 1 ended with them captive. While Marie and the rest of the gang aren’t in immediate danger, Vought has plans for them — the evil company’s PR team has never met a problem they couldn’t spin.
More important will be exploring how Marie survived Homelander’s heat vision — something not even most supes could live through. Could she somehow be a pawn in The Boys’ war to kill Homelander once and for all?
Gen V certainly isn’t an inconsequential spinoff. Godolkin is integral to the history of The Seven, and with the stories so tied together, Gen V characters could play a role in The Boys Season 4, even if it’s off-screen.
