Gen V Season 2 Will Bridge to The Boys Finale, With Marie’s Powers in Focus

Eric Kripke signals meaningful setup for the parent show while keeping Gen V centered on its own characters.

Overview

  • Prime Video will launch the first three episodes on September 17, followed by weekly installments through October 22.
  • Set months after The Boys season 4, the new chapter returns to a Godolkin University reshaped by Homelander’s influence under a new dean, Cipher, described as morally dubious.
  • Project Odessa emerges as the season’s central mystery, linking back to The Boys season 4 and the origins of Godolkin University, with trailers showing Starlight’s involvement.
  • Kripke says Gen V will "carry the torch" into The Boys’ final season yet avoid heavy-handed crossovers, citing a desire not to repeat mistakes seen in other franchises.
  • Marie Moreau’s expanded blood-manipulation abilities take center stage after surviving Homelander’s laser blast, with Kripke noting her potential power and star Jaz Sinclair expressing hope to challenge him.
