Amazon has officially announced the return of Gen V, its college-set spinoff of The Boys, with Season 2 set to premiere on September 17, 2025. The season will begin with a three-episode drop, followed by weekly releases every Wednesday, leading up to the finale on October 22.
Along with the premiere date, Amazon released the first teaser trailer, which addresses the real-life death of cast member Chance Perdomo, who played Andre Anderson. Perdomo died in a motorcycle accident in March 2024. In a statement following his passing, Amazon confirmed that the role would not be recast and that the story for Season 2 had been restructured to reflect his absence.
The new trailer offers a glimpse of how the show will acknowledge Perdomo’s character. It features a scene with Andre’s father, Polarity, confronting the new Godolkin University Dean, Cipher (Hamish Linklater), over his son’s disappearance, suggesting that Vought may be hiding the truth about what happened to Andre at the end of Season 1.
Season 2 picks up with America adapting to Homelander’s increasing dominance. At Godolkin University, Dean Cipher introduces a new curriculum aimed at making students more powerful, while tensions escalate between humans and Supes. Cate and Sam return as celebrated figures, while Marie, Jordan, and Emma come back to campus still reeling from the traumatic events of the previous season. A hidden program tied to the university’s origins emerges, pulling Marie deeper into a mystery with far-reaching consequences.
Returning cast members include Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, and Sean Patrick Thomas. Gen V was co-created by Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, with Fazekas serving as showrunner and executive producer alongside The Boys team, including Eric Kripke and Seth Rogen.
The new season continues production under Sony Pictures Television and Amazon Studios.
