The second season of Gen V is set to premiere on Prime Video soon. The first teaser gives us a glimpse of the thrilling adventures that await the young supes in this spin-off of The Boys.
The series adapts a storyline from The Boys comic book series, focusing on upcoming superheroes attending a prestigious college sponsored by the Vought corporation. Fans of the original series know that anything controlled by Vought cannot be good.
Season 1 of Gen V served as a prequel to the fourth season of The Boys. Season 2 is expected to expand the universe and lead into the fifth and final season of the main series.

What will the plot of Gen V season 2 be?
The official description for season 2 sets the stage for more intense drama:
As the rest of America adjusts to Homelander’s iron fist, back at Godolkin University, the mysterious new Dean preaches a curriculum that promises to make students more powerful than ever. Cate and Sam are celebrated heroes, while Marie, Jordan, and Emma reluctantly return to college, burdened by months of trauma and loss. But parties and classes are hard to care about with war brewing between Humans and Supes, both on and off campus. The gang learns of a secret program that goes back to the founding of Godolkin University that may have larger implications than they realize. And, somehow, Marie is a part of it.
In the explosive finale of season 1, the main characters split into two factions.
After freeing the remaining prisoners of the Woods, Cate and Sam began targeting non-superhumans on the Godolkin campus. Marie, Jordan, and Emma chose to oppose their friends and stop the violent riots.
While the two groups clashed, Homelander intervened at Godolkin and put an end to their conflict. He aided in capturing Marie, Jordan, and Emma, who were accused of attacking fellow students and imprisoned in the Vought facility.
Sam and Cate, hailed by the media as Guardians of Godolkin, became prominent Vought superheroes of the young generation. In The Boys season 4, Cate and Sam continued their heroic endeavors and played a crucial role in capturing Frenchie and Kimiko in the season finale.
The virus created at Godolkin University as a bioweapon against the superhumans also surfaced in the fourth season of The Boys. It seemed ineffective against Homelander, prompting Butcher to search for ways to enhance its potency.
Given the premiere date, it is likely that the second season of Gen V will set the stage for The Boys season 5. This suggests a continuation of the virus-related storyline and the resolution of the fates of Marie, Jordan, Emma, Sam, and Cate.
Who is in the cast of Gen V season 2?
The series features a predominantly young cast:
- Jaz Sinclair – freshman Marie Moreau with blood-bending abilities

- Derek Luh and London Thor – Jordan Li, a gender-shifter

Unfortunately, Chance Perdomo, who portrayed Andre Anderson with magnetic powers, will not be returning for season 2 following his tragic death in a motorcycle accident in 2024. His role will not be recast, and adjustments will be made to the script for season 3.
Additionally, Shelley Conn, who played Dean Indira Shetty, will not reprise her role in season 2 after her character was killed off in season 1.
There is uncertainty regarding Patrick Schwarzenegger‘s return as Luke Riordan, also known as Golden Boy, following his character’s suicide in season 1. He may appear in flashbacks or hallucinations.
New faces will join the cast for the second season, including Hamish Linklater as Cipher, the new dean of Godolkin University, who is a supe supremacist.
