After a universe-shaking season 4 finale on The Boys<\/em><\/a>, it\u2019s once again time for the kids of Godolkin University to step up to the plate. <\/p>\n

While Gen V<\/em>\u2019s second season<\/a> won\u2019t premiere until September, Amazon took to CCXP Mexico<\/a> to give fans a look at the new season \u2014 and a little of how The Boys<\/em> season 4 impacted the college-set spinoff. Here\u2019s the official synopsis:<\/p>\n

\n

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. 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 between Humans and Supes, both on and off campus. The gang learns of a secret program that goes back to the founding of Godolkin University that may have larger implications than they realize. And, somehow, Marie is a part of it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Most of the cast is back for season 2, including Jaz Sinclair as Marie Moreau, Lizze Broadway as Emma, Maddie Phillips as Cate Dunlap, London Thor and Derek Luh as Jordan Li, Asa Germann as Sam Riordan, and Sean Patrick Thomas as Polarity. Tragically, Gen V<\/em> season 1 star Chance Perdomo, who played the Magneto-like Andre, died in 2023 on his way to Toronto to film season 2<\/a>. The production team had previously announced<\/a> that they would not recast Perdomo\u2019s role for season 2, and it seems the writers have incorporated his departure into Polarity\u2019s arc.<\/p>\n

New to season 2: Hamish Linklater (Midnight Mass<\/em>) as Dean Ciphe, a new villain who looks\u2026 absolutely punchable.<\/p>\n

Gen V<\/em> season 2 will kick off with a three-episode premiere on Sep. 17. <\/p>\n
