Amazon has officially confirmed that Gen V season 2 will premiere on September 17, 2025. The Boys spinoff returns with three episodes dropping on day one, followed by weekly installments every Wednesday until the finale on October 22. Alongside the date reveal came the first teaser trailer, and it’s everything you’d expect: violent, bloody, and brimming with tension. But this season comes with a heavier tone—Chance Perdomo, who played Andre Anderson, tragically died in March 2024, and the show is directly addressing that loss in its narrative.
Rather than recasting the role, the creative team chose to write Andre’s death into the story. In the trailer, Sean Patrick Thomas’ Polarity—Andre’s father—is seen demanding answers from the new dean of Godolkin University. “What really happened to my son?” he asks, visibly broken.
This time around, Godolkin University is under the control of Dean Cipher, played by Midnight Mass star Hamish Linklater. In stark contrast to the secretly anti-supe Dean Shetty, Cipher is all-in on Homelander’s agenda. The new curriculum is all about pushing students beyond their limits. As Marie, Jordan, and Emma return to campus reeling from the chaos of season 1, they find a university transformed—and not for the better.
Cate and Sam, once fugitives, are now school-sanctioned heroes, celebrated for their actions. The rest of the group is clearly less convinced. The trailer hints at internal fractures, unsettling alliances, and a disturbing truth about a long-running experiment tied to the very founding of Godolkin. As the supe-versus-human conflict simmers, season 2 promises more than just gore. There’s real emotional weight this time.
Familiar faces from The Boys universe also pop up, including Firecracker and the Deep. These appearances aren’t just fan service—they reinforce the shared world and show how the events at Godolkin ripple outward. Gen V continues to build its own identity, while staying tightly wound into the core narrative of The Boys.
Season 2 looks to be the most intense chapter yet, on-screen and off. Between the emotional gravity of Perdomo’s absence and the show’s ever-escalating stakes, Gen V seems poised to deliver a season packed with blood, grief, and rebellion.
