Gen V season 2 is back on Prime Video, continuing the chaotic and darkly humorous journey set in the world of Godolkin University. The series, a spin-off from The Boys, premieres on September 17, 2025, with its first three episodes available for streaming.

Gen V season 2 blends action, suspense, and moral dilemmas. In a university where students are learning and becoming the next generation of strong supes, this new season looks at what happens when power, corruption, and survival come together.

Gen V season 2 also portrays how Godolkin University adapts to a new, more dangerous regime under the control of the authoritarian Dean Cipher, played by Hamish Linklater. As the students struggle with their powers and reputations, they must also grapple with personal traumas and navigate a world where Vought increasingly manipulates their abilities.

New faces join the cast, while returning characters, such as Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair), Emma Meyer (Lizze Broadway), and Jordan Li (London Thor/Derek Luh), continue to evolve and face new challenges.
