GEN V: Could Jaz Sinclair's Marie Moreau Be The One To Take Down Homelander?

Overview

  • Eric Kripke says the sophomore chapter will "carry the torch" between The Boys seasons 4 and 5 and help set up the franchise’s final confrontation while keeping each show focused on its own characters.
  • Kripke describes Marie Moreau’s blood manipulation as potentially making her "the most powerful superhero on the planet," though the season undercuts a simple "chosen one" arc.
  • Set months after The Boys season 4, Godolkin operates under Homelander’s influence with Hamish Linklater’s morally ambiguous Dean Cipher installed to run the campus.
  • Season 2 probes the school’s origins via Project Odessa with flashbacks to founder Thomas Godolkin, and Erin Moriarty’s Starlight features as part of the returning and expanded cast.
  • Prime Video will debut the first three episodes on September 17.
