Prime Video offers two main subscription tiers: a standalone plan costing $8.99 per month or a full Amazon Prime membership priced at $14.99 per month or $139 annually. An ad-free upgrade is available for an additional $2.99 per month.
The first three episodes will be released together, followed by a weekly rollout of one episode every Wednesday until the finale on October 22, 2025. This strategy allows fans to enjoy a substantial initial binge while maintaining engagement over the following weeks.
What to Expect in the New Season
Gen V Season 2 continues the story from both its first season and the events of The Boys Season 4. The narrative follows Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair), Emma Meyer (Lizze Broadway), and Jordan Li (London Thor and Derek Luh) as they return to Godolkin University under fraught circumstances. Meanwhile, Cate Dunlap (Maddie Phillips) and Sam Riordan (Asa Germann) are now celebrated as heroes, despite their previous actions.
The new season introduces Dean Cipher (Hamish Linklater), a strict administrator who aims to transform students into an army of Supes. The official plot description states:
“School is back in session. As the rest of America adjusts to Homelander’s iron fist, back at Godolkin University, the mysterious new Dean preaches a curriculum that promises to make students more powerful than ever.”
The story will also explore a secret program linked to the university’s founding, with Marie at the center of its mysteries. Additionally, the season will honor the late Chance Perdomo, who played Andre, and will not recast his role.
Connections to The Boys Universe
Gen V Season 2 deeply intertwines with the broader narrative of The Boys. The season begins after the events of The Boys Season 4, where Homelander consolidates power and declares martial law. Characters from The Boys, including Starlight (Erin Moriarty) and The Deep (Chace Crawford), are set to appear, bridging the two series’ storylines.
The show’s creator, Michele Fazekas, emphasized the importance of honoring Chance Perdomo’s legacy while advancing the narrative. The season will address Andre’s absence meaningfully, with his father, Polarity (Sean Patrick Thomas), playing a more significant role.
Fan and Critical Expectations
Early reviews for Gen V Season 2 have been largely positive, with critics praising its character development and ties to The Boys. The season currently holds an 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on early reviews. Critics like Alison Herman from Variety noted:
“With the social commentary increasingly inexact, Gen V rests on the shoulders of its heroes, well-intentioned people struggling to tell real heroism from the pre-packaged kind.”
Fans are eagerly awaiting the return of their favorite characters and the resolution of cliffhangers from Season 1, such as Marie’s survival after Homelander’s attack and the fate of those trapped in the facility.

The full release schedule for Gen V Season 2 is as follows:
- Episodes 1–3: September 17, 2025
- Episode 4: September 24, 2025
