Gen V Season 2 Premieres with New Dean, Honors Chance Perdomo’s Death

Amazon's "Gen V," a college-set spinoff of "The Boys," will return for its second season on September 17, 2025, with an initial three-episode drop followed by weekly releases until October 22. The new season addresses the tragic death of Chance Perdomo, who played Andre Anderson, by not recasting his role and restructuring the storyline to reflect his absence; the show features Andre’s father, Polarity, confronting the new Godolkin University Dean, Cipher, over the mysterious circumstances surrounding Andre's disappearance. Season 2 explores the escalating tensions between humans and Supes under Homelander’s increasing dominance, with a new curriculum at Godolkin University aimed at empowering students and a secret program tied to the university's origins that implicates Marie Moreau. Returning cast members include Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, and Sean Patrick Thomas, with Hamish Linklater joining as Dean Cipher. The storyline reveals the characters' struggles with trauma and loss while navigating an environment marked by conflict and hidden agendas. Production continues under Sony Pictures Television and Amazon Studios, with showrunner Michele Fazekas and executive producers Eric Kripke and Seth Rogen overseeing the series.
