The second season of the American satirical superhero television series Gen V, the third series in The Boys franchise, based on The Boys comic book story arc We Gotta Go Now by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, is scheduled to premiere on Amazon Prime Video in 2025.
The season stars Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, and Asa Germann returning from the previous season, and will be set after the events of the fourth season of The Boys (2024).
In January 2023, it was announced that a writing room for a potential second season would soon come together, to be led by Michele Fazekas, who also has become sole showrunner since Tara Butters has taken a break from work.[2] That October, Amazon Prime Video renewed the series for a second season.[3]
Regarding how it would connect to the ending of season 4 of The Boys, Eric Kripke said: "[''Gen V''] will be the first glimpse into the new world that was created at the end of S4."[4]
The second season features the return of the main cast, with the exception of Chance Perdomo, whose character Andre Anderson will not be recast following Perdomo's death in March 2024 in a motorcycle accident.[5] [6] In June 2024, Hamish Linklater was announced in the role of Cipher, the new dean of Godolkin University. At the San Diego Comic-Con in July 2024, Chace Crawford was revealed to be reprising his role as Kevin Moskowitz / The Deep from The Boys in the season after appearing in the first season of Gen V.[5]
In late March 2024, it was announced the production of the second season would be put on hold following Perdomo's death. The cast was due to begin table reads that afternoon before filming started on April.[7] Filming of the season officially commenced in May 2024.[8] [9]
Footage from the season was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2024.[5]
The season is scheduled to release in 2025.[10]
