Gen V Returns for Season 2 on September 17th

While we’re still a ways out from The Boys returning to Amazon for its fifth season, the franchise’s spinoff series, Gen V Gen V, will be back this fall.

At this year’s CCXP convention in Mexico, Amazon announced that Gen V is set to return for its second season on September 17th with a three-episode premiere. Along with the premiere date news, Amazon also released a new trailer teasing some of the challenges that Marie (Jaz Sinclair), Emma (Lizze Broadway), Jordan (London Thor and Derek Luh) will face as they return for another year of studying at Godolkin University.

With the White House now effectively under Homelander’s control, Godolkin has become a very different, even more sinister place where a large portion of the superpowered student body is beginning to embrace the idea that regular humans are inferior beings. This is the message that Godolkin’s new dean, Cipher (Hamish Linklater), wants his students to internalize as they learn to wield their powers by participating in what appears to be a school-sanctioned fight club. However, it is difficult for Marie and her friends to view Cipher as anything but an adversary, especially considering how the university previously confined them for attempting to stop Sam (Asa Germann) and Cate (Maddie Phillips) from committing acts of violence against those without abilities.

Although Gen V’s younger characters will be the primary focus this season, the trailer also indicates that the new season will delve deeper into Polarity (Sean Patrick Thomas) as he investigates the death of his son, Andre (Chance Perdromo), who died in a motorcycle accident last March ahead of the season’s production starting. Suffice it to say that the outlook for the Gen V students is grim, but as dire as the circumstances may become, it appears they will not go down without a fight when we see them again this fall.
