As followers proceed to attend for the fifth and ultimate season of The Boys, they’ll quickly be capable of head again to Godolkin College for the second season of Gen V. Premiering on September 17 on the 2025 TV schedule, the spinoff is not going to solely be seeing some adjustments for Jaz Sinclair’s Marie, however it’ll additionally deal with the aftermath of The Boys’ Season 4 cliffhanger.
Season 4 of the raunchy superhero drama aired final summer season and ended on fairly a cliffhanger, which you’ll be able to watch with an Amazon Prime subscription. Victoria Neuman was killed, and President Calhoun declared martial legislation, placing Homelander in command of a nationwide superhero military. Clearly, we all know what Homelander can do, and we’ve seen his affect on Gen V within the spinoff’s personal cliffhanger for the primary season. However that’s solely just the start, as showrunner Michele Fazekas instructed TVLine:
Homelander has taken over. It’s nearly not even about clearing their names, as it’s about determining learn how to stay on this new world order. Once you’re dwelling in Nazi Germany firstly of Nazi Germany, what are common individuals like? Do you simply form of put your head down and don’t make any waves? Do you be a part of them, or do you struggle?
Issues are fairly totally different following the top of Season 4, so it is smart for that to be mirrored in Gen V. This would be the first time that followers are seeing that “new world order” and the affect of that cliffhanger. With the world, or on the very least, the superhero world, being led by Homelander, who actually solely cares about himself and doesn’t have a lot regret, there’s no telling what is going to occur. It additionally doesn’t assist that his battle at Godolkin in Gen V’s first season was a massacre, so the college, and notably Marie, might be on his watchlist.
Following The Boys’ Season 4 cliffhanger, it was anticipated that this may drastically affect Gen V, however it was onerous to inform how and in what manner. It can change the course of The Boys Universe transferring ahead, and followers might be seeing that on Gen V, after which afterward Season 5 of The Boys. Then there’s additionally the truth that everybody at Godolkin has their very own points to fret about, so between that and Homelander taking up, it seems like we’re in for a wild experience.
Elsewhere on Gen V, issues may also look a bit of totally different cast-wise. Probability Perdomo handed away in March 2024 following a motorbike accident, however his character of Andre Anderson is not going to be recast. Govt producer Eric Kripke beforehand opened up about how his dying will affect Season 2, saying they have been going to transform storylines and honor him. In order that may also be one thing to stay up for, seeing as I have been hoping they’d pay tribute to him.
The wait gained’t be an excessive amount of longer, as Gen V Season 2 premieres this Wednesday, September 17. It can absolutely occupy followers till The Boys Season 5, which doesn’t but have a premiere date. Filming on the ultimate season wrapped over the summer season, and everybody was appropriately as emotional as ever, so having to attend to say goodbye gained’t be too unhealthy.
Nevertheless, whereas we look forward to that, we’ll get to see how the repercussions of The Boys’ earlier season affect Gen V.
