Gen V Season 2 Premieres Sept. 17, Bridging to The Boys’ Finale

Kripke promises a bridge to the finale without turning the spinoff into a crossover dump.

Overview

  • Prime Video will launch three episodes on September 17, followed by weekly releases through October 22.
  • Trailers show Starlight joining Marie undercover at Godolkin to target the secret program known as Project Odessa, with The Boys also attempting to recruit her.
  • Eric Kripke says Marie’s blood control could make her the most powerful supe, even as the season questions the “chosen one” narrative; star Jaz Sinclair says she hopes Marie gets a shot at Homelander.
  • Godolkin operates under a new, more militarized regime led by Dean Cipher, whom Hamish Linklater describes as morally dubious and aligned with Homelander’s agenda.
  • Season 2 explores the school’s origins through flashbacks featuring Ethan Slater as founder Thomas Godolkin, with Kripke teasing a direct tie between the university’s creation and Project Odessa.
