GEN V Season 2 Trailer Drops and It's Packed with THE BOYS Cameos and an Ethan Slater Reveal
Prime Video just dropped the first full trailer for Gen V Season 2 at its Friday Comic-Con panel, and the fans went wild. The sneak peek teased returning characters, unexpected cameos, and a big reveal about Godolkin University’s dark past.
Showrunner Michele Fazekas teased the bigger picture of the franchise during the panel, saying: “The shows talk to each other. So Season 4 of The Boys sets up Season 2 of Gen V. So now, Homelander has taken over America. Now, we get to see what that looks like — what that looks like the country, what that looks like at the school, and then what the resistance is going to start looking like.”
One of the biggest jmoments in the trailer featured a badge belonging to Dr. Thomas Godolkin, the university’s founder, played by none other than Ethan Slater. That means Season 2 will dive into the shady origins of Godolkin U, adding even more layers to the already twisted lore.
The official synopsis from Amazon sets the tone: “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.”
New faces include Hamish Linklater as Dean Cipher, a man whose friendly vibe probably hides something sinister. Returning cast members include Lizze Broadway as Emma, Maddie Phillips as Cate, Asa Germann as Sam, and Sean Patrick Thomas as Polarity.
Gen V Season 2 kicks off with a three-episode premiere on September 17, followed by weekly drops every Wednesday.
