Gen V has a new Season 2 trailer fresh from San Diego Comic-Con 2025.

The Boys spinoff premieres September 17 on Prime Video with the first three episodes, and this new trailer includes a number of characters fans of the over-the-top anti-hero show will know and love.

This season of Gen V introduces “key events and revelations that feed directly into the final chapter of The Boys,” Prime video said. We see The Boys characters Starlight, played by Erin Moriarty, Nathan Mitchell’s Black Noir, and The Deep, played by Chace Crawford in the trailer teasing their roles in Season 2.

Perhaps the most surprising news is the casting of Ethan Slater, who plays Boq in Wicked, in a recurring role as Thomas Godolkin. Sean Patrick Thomas, who portrays Polarity, has been promoted to series regular for the upcoming season.

Here’s the official blurb on Season 2:

In Season 2, school is back in session. As the rest of America adjusts to Homelander’s iron fist, back at Godolkin University, the mysterious new Dean preaches a curriculum that promises to make students more powerful than ever. Cate and Sam are celebrated heroes, while Marie, Jordan, and Emma reluctantly return to college, burdened by months of trauma and loss. But parties and classes are hard to care about with war brewing between Humans and Supes, both on and off campus. The gang learns of a secret program that goes back to the founding of Godolkin University that may have larger implications than they realize. And, somehow, Marie is a part of it.

Last year, Gen V executive producer Eric Kripke revealed how the show would handle Andre Anderson’s sudden absence following the death of actor Chance Perdomo. Kripke revealed that Perdomo’s character will also pass away on screen at the beginning of the season, with no intentions of recasting the character and recrafted storylines in Season 2 to reflect Anderson’s absence.
