Prime Video has finally given fans a taste of what’s coming in Gen V Season 2, with a teaser trailer unveiled at CCXP México on May 31, 2025, alongside a premiere date of September 17, 2025. The Boys spinoff, set at the chaotic Godolkin University, is back with more superpowered drama, and the teaser promises a darker, bloodier sophomore year. With the first three episodes dropping on premiere day and new episodes every Wednesday until the finale on October 22, fans are gearing up for a wild ride.
The teaser, shared during a panel with stars Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, London Thor, and Derek Luh, picks up where Season 1 left off, diving into a world under Homelander’s tightening grip. It shows Marie Moreau (Sinclair) looking defiant, clearly not ready to play nice, as the new mysterious dean, Cipher (Hamish Linklater), shakes things up at Godolkin. The clip is short but intense, hinting at escalating tensions between Supes and humans, with a secret program tied to the university’s founding taking center stage. The logline teases: “Cate and Sam are celebrated heroes, while Marie, Jordan, and Emma reluctantly return to college, burdened by months of trauma and loss. But parties and classes are hard to care about with war brewing both on and off campus.” The teaser also addresses the heartbreaking real-life death of Chance Perdomo, who played Andre Anderson, showing Andre’s father, Polarity (Sean Patrick Thomas), raging over his son’s disappearance at Vought’s hands, a nod to the show’s decision not to recast the role.
Returning cast members include Sinclair as Marie, Broadway as Emma Meyer, Maddie Phillips as Cate Dunlap, Thor and Luh as Jordan Li, Asa Germann as Sam Riordan, and Thomas as Polarity, with Linklater joining as the enigmatic Dean Cipher. Michele Fazekas is back as showrunner, joined by executive producers like Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen, and Evan Goldberg, with the series produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios. The teaser, described as “blood-soaked” by ScreenRant, keeps the show’s signature mix of gore, satire, and college chaos, with a heavier focus on the fallout from Season 1’s ending, where Cate and Sam aligned with The Seven while Marie, Jordan, and Emma were detained.
The Boys universe is no stranger to shaking things up, and Gen V Season 2 looks to lean into that, especially after the game-changing end of The Boys Season 4. Kripke told Variety that Gen V will be “the first glimpse into the new world” post-The Boys Season 4, hinting at deeper crossovers—Chace Crawford’s The Deep is confirmed to appear. The teaser’s glimpses of Godolkin’s new curriculum, promising to make students “more powerful than ever,” suggest a dangerous shift, with Marie caught in the middle of a conspiracy.
Fans are already hyped, with one calling it “the chaotic, bloody mess we love” online. The show’s first season, a hit in 2023 with its mix of superhero satire and coming-of-age drama, set a high bar, and the teaser shows Season 2 doubling down on the stakes. With production wrapped in November 2024, as announced on the show’s social media, the countdown to September is on. Whether you’re ready for more exploding heads or campus conspiracies, Gen V is coming back swinging.
