The hormonal teenaged Supes of Godolkin University made their Amazon Prime Video debut in 2023, and there are already questions about what lies ahead in Gen Vseason 2. Set immediately after The Boys season 3, Gen V focuses on the young Super students of the Godolkin University School of Crime Fighting — an institution that’s both an obvious X-Men satirization and recruitment tool for Vought International. The Boys creator Eric Kripke returned to develop the show, which will both expand the universe of The Boys and stand on its own.
Amazon knew how popular Gen V would be when it entered development, and Gen V was confirmed for a second season before the first even arrived. In January 2023 it was reported that Amazon had opened a writer’s room for Gen V season 2 to begin early development on the next chapter of The Boys spinoff. As predicted, the spinoff of The Boys was a hit with Amazon Prime Video subscribers, and now Gen V season 2 is officially on the way.
Gen V has introduced a whole new cast of characters to the world of The Boys, but season 2 can take the story of God U and its students even further.

After months of development and production on the sophomore season, the latest news confirms that filming has wrapped on Gen V season 2. The news was broken by stars Maddie Philips and Derek Luh who each took to Instagram to commemorate the conclusion of season 2's filming process. In her post, Philips shared a trio of photos of herself, Luh, and co-star Asa Germann in a production tent, and mentioned in the caption that she "(somehow) made it." As for Luh, he shared a selfie, as well as a poignant candid photo of several cast members hugging on set.
The conclusion of season 2's production schedule likely means the series will be quickly rushed into post-production, and a 2025 release window is just broad enough to accommodate a lengthy edit process. Though no one involved with the show has provided a more concrete release window, it's assumed that the show won't arrive until the summer of 2025 at the earliest.

More Teen Superhero Action Is On The Way

The show proved to be a hit for Amazon, as evidenced by the mid-season renewal confirmation before the finale on November 8. Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios, released the following statement explaining why giving Gen V season 2 the go-ahead was an easy decision to make:
“Expanding the universe of ‘The Boys’ with a series as bold as ‘Gen V’ has been an incredible journey for us and our wonderful partners at Sony. From our first conversation with showrunners Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, along with Eric Kripke, Evan Goldberg, and Seth Rogen, we knew ‘Gen V’ would push the boundaries. Their unapologetic approach is exactly what audiences love, and it has helped ‘Gen V’ become the No. 1 series on Prime Video in over 130 countries. ‘Gen V’ is Prime Video’s most acquisitive new Original series of 2023, and we’re excited that our incredible cast and crew are going to continue telling brave and bold stories from ‘Gen V’ to our customers.”

Gen V Season 2 Production Status
Season 2 Wrapped Filming In October 2024
With filming wrapping in October 2024, that broad window should be no problem.
All things considered, season 2 of Gen V is already moving along much faster than most series, and that is due to its early renewal. Largely missing the strikes of 2023, Gen V season 2 was set to begin filming in April 2024, but the tragic passing of Andre actor Chance Perdomo caused those plans to be delayed. Filming eventually got back underway in May 2024, and it has now been revealed that plans are in place to air Gen V season 2 sometime in 2025. With filming wrapping in October 2024, that broad window should be no problem.
Gen V Season 2 Cast
Who Is Returning For Season 2?
The cast of Gen V season 2 will see many returning names from the first season. Even actors portraying characters who died could still be part of the cast via flashbacks, andthere's always a chance that a dead character could return via some shady Vought International experimentation. Unfortunately, the cast of Gen V season 2 has been marred by tragedy as Andre actor Chance Perdomo passed away in a motorcycle accident in late March 2024. His character was scheduled to return for the sophomore season, but producers have since announced that Andre will not be recast.
A new addition to the cast comes in the form of Midnight Mass star Hamish Linklater who has been tapped to play the role of Cipher. Cipher is taking over as Dean of Godolkin University and is described as a brilliant scientist who has gained the trust of the elites in power. It's assumed that more names will be added to the season 2 ensemble soon.
The Gen V cast introduces exciting new actors to The Boys universe, like Jaz Sinclair, as well as bringing back icons from the flagship series.

Some plans will need to change for
Gen V
season 2 because of the tragic passing of Andre actor Chance Perdomo.
The ending of Gen Vleft several teases forwhat will happen when the show returns. The Gen V season 1 finale ended with Marie, Andre, Jordan, and Little Cricket locked away in a padded cell by Vought, with the news blaming them for the events caused by Sam and Cate. However, when Marie comes around, the rest of the group doesn't appear overly agitated. Their lives don't seem to be in danger, which means Vought must have plans for them in Gen V season 2.
Some plans will need to change for Gen V season 2 because of the tragic passing of Andre actor Chance Perdomo. The producers have made it clear that Andre will not be recast, meaning his character's absence will need to be explained. Likewise, his plot threads may need to be pushed off on someone else, or they could be abandoned altogether.
The endingof Gen V season 1 also saw the surprise appearance of Homelander, who looked set to end Marie's life with his laser vision before the scene cut to black. He was then seen smirking at TV coverage proclaiming that Sam and Cate are the new "Guardians of God U". It's clear he had something to do with whatever happened in the direct aftermath and Marie ending up in a Vought facility. Exactly what happened, and how Marie survived Homelander's laser vision, however, won't be revealed until Gen Vseason 2 returns.
A spin-off of The Boys, Gen V is based on a story arc from the original comic series set in the TV series universe. Gen V follows a group of college students starting at a Vought International-created school for superheroes, where students compete in increasingly dangerous challenges to win a hero contract in the highest-paying and most coveted city locations. This happens as these young adults try to understand their powers as they grow up and figure out where they fit into society.
