The highly anticipated second season of Gen V is set to premiere on Prime Video, and fans are buzzing with excitement after catching a glimpse of the thrilling adventures that await the young supes in The Boys spin-off.
Based on a small arc from The Boys comic book series, Gen V follows the story of upcoming superheroes attending a prestigious college sponsored by the Vought corporation. For fans of the original series, the idea of an elite institution controlled by Vought spells trouble.
Season 1 of Gen V served as a prequel to the fourth season of The Boys, and Season 2 is expected to expand the universe further, acting as an introduction to the fifth and final season of the mothership series.
The second season of Gen V is scheduled to premiere with three episodes on Prime Video on Wednesday, 17 September 2025, with a total of 8 episodes planned for the season. This will come ahead of The Boys season 5, which is likely to debut in 2026.
Amazon wasted no time in greenlighting Gen V for a second season even before the first season concluded. Showrunner Michele Fazekas and executive producer Eric Kripke expressed their excitement for the upcoming season, promising fans plenty of twists, heart, satire, and exploding genitalia.
For those who have yet to subscribe to Amazon Prime, a 30-day free trial is available, followed by a monthly subscription fee of $14.99/£8.99. Additional savings can be obtained by signing up for Prime Video as a standalone service.
