What to expect from Gen V season 2?

Gen V season 2 will likely continue the superhero drama in the aftermath of Homelander's rise to power in The Boys season 4 finale. An eight-episode season, it’ll portray the transformation of Godolkin University and the national landscape under Homelander's authoritarian rule.

The second season will pick up after the Woods facility massacre and force Marie Moreau to navigate a transformed Godolkin University landscape. Thus, a likely major storyline could be a fraught dynamic between Marie and the new Dean Cipher, played by Hamish Linklater.

He’s training Supes to become soldiers, as shown in the trailer, and the campus has begun to look more like a prison and less like a college. So much so that it has barricades encircling it, while loyalties have been divided after Jordan and Emma have joined Cate and Sam as "Guardians of Godolkin."

Beyond these power dynamics, season 2 will feature crossover appearances from The Boys characters. That includes Starlight (Erin Moriarty), The Deep (Chace Crawford), and Black Noir (Nathan Mitchell) alongside other non-powered individuals over the course of the season.

Gen V season 2 premieres exclusively on Amazon Prime Video on September 17, 2025.
