Amazon Reveals Premiere Date for ‘Gen V’ Season 2 Amid Cast Changes

LOS ANGELES, CA — Amazon has officially announced the release date for the second season of its college-set spinoff series, ‘Gen V,’ along with the debut of the first teaser trailer. The highly anticipated first three episodes will premiere on Sept. 17, with additional episodes airing weekly on Wednesdays until the season finale on Oct. 22.

According to Amazon’s description, ‘Gen V’ Season 2 takes place as America grapples with Homelander‘s authoritarian rule. At Godolkin University, the newly appointed Dean aims to enhance student power while characters like Cate and Sam bask in their hero status. Meanwhile, Marie, Jordan, and Emma return to campus, haunted by past traumas and facing rising tensions between humans and superheroes, or ‘Supes.’

The first season, which premiered from Sept. 29 to Nov. 3, 2023, starred Jaz Sinclair as Marie Moreau, the late Chance Perdomo as Andre Anderson, and Lizze Broadway as Emma Meyer, among others. Season 2 will see Hamish Linklater join the cast as Dean Cipher. Following Perdomo’s tragic death in a motorcycle accident in March 2024, Amazon adjusted the storyline for the character Andre Anderson.

In the newly released teaser trailer, Andre’s father, Polarity, played by Sean Patrick Thomas, expresses his anger about his son’s mysterious disappearance at the end of Season 1. He demands answers from Dean Cipher about Andre’s fate.

‘Gen V’ is co-created by Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, with Fazekas serving as showrunner. The series is produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon Studios, along with other major production companies.

Fans are excited about the upcoming season and have expressed their anticipation on social media platforms. The buzz is palpable as viewers count down the days until they can return to the halls of Godolkin University.
