Fall TV Preview 2025: Gen V
Wednesday, Sept. 17, with the first three episodes (Prime Video)
When we return to Godolkin University in Season 2, following the events of "The Boys‘" fourth season, “Homelander has taken over,” showrunner Michele Fazekas reminds TVLine.
So for Marie and the other so-called bad guys, “it’s almost not even about clearing their names as it is about figuring out how to live in this new world order.”
A major question being explored this season is: “When you’re living in Nazi Germany at the beginning of Nazi Germany, what are regular people like? Do you just sort of put your head down and don’t make any waves? Do you join them, or do you fight?”
There’s also a mini version of that new world order at school, which is now overseen by Dean Cipher (Hamish Linklater), who brings a “delicious weirdness and complete unpredictability to all of their lives.”
Andre, played by the late, great Chance Perdomo, will also factor into the events of Season 2, a storyline producers handled with great care.
“In order to honor the person that Chance was, we have to treat this like what it is, which is grieving someone who is gone,” Fazekas says.
“But how do you fit that very real emotion into the world of this show? You do it the way people fit grief into their lives. Sometimes people are inappropriate, sometimes people are cracking jokes, and sometimes people are angry.”
As for how "Gen V" can possibly outdo the shocking, viral NSFW goodies that came out of Season 1, Fazekas says the show “definitely” tops what came before, alluding to a new character with an “incredibly dumb power” that we meet in Episode 1.
Bonus Spoiler!:
The trailer for Season 2 revealed several exciting cameos from "The Boys", including Starlight and The Deep, but Fazekas promises that at least one more major familiar face will appear.
