The universe of The Boys is far from done causing chaos, and Gen V is about to make sure of it. Prime Video has confirmed that Gen V Season 2 will drop its first three episodes on September 17, with weekly releases every Friday and a finale landing on October 22. But this is not just a return to Godolkin University. This is the setup for the final, explosive chapter of one of streaming’s wildest franchises.
Season 1 ended in mayhem as Cate and Sam led a violent uprising at Godolkin after freeing imprisoned Supes from The Woods. The campus turned into a warzone. Marie and her team tried to stop the destruction, only to be knocked down by Homelander himself in a moment that redefined the stakes of the show. By the end, the world called Cate and Sam heroes and framed Marie, Jordan, Andre, and Emma as the villains. It was a brutal twist that captured just how twisted and controlled this universe really is.
Now, Season 2 picks up in a world still recovering. Eric Kripke, the mastermind behind both Gen V and The Boys, has confirmed that the events of Gen V Season 2 unfold immediately after the chaos of The Boys Season 4. That means everything we saw in the finale of The Boys, including Homelander’s control over the Oval Office and his influence over a puppet president, is going to bleed directly into Gen V’s new season.
This is not just about high-school Supes anymore. This is a full-blown war for power, and the new teaser already hints at a massive escalation. With a new dean at Godolkin preparing a stronger, more brutal generation of Supes, and Marie’s gang now underground and angry, the stage is being set for a convergence that could change everything.
What’s more, Homelander is still loose. He’s discovered Soldier Boy’s location, and fans are now theorising that the two might join forces in Season 5 of The Boys. That possibility alone is terrifying. Homelander is already unhinged. Pair him with the twisted legacy of Soldier Boy, and the fallout could be catastrophic.
Gen V might also bring its characters closer to The Boys than ever before. The teaser shows the new generation preparing to fight, and the series could end with Marie and her crew finally aligning with Butcher’s team. If that happens, Season 5 of The Boys might feature the most unholy team-up in TV history.
What makes this entire buildup even more thrilling is the fact that Gen V is not playing safe. The show has never been afraid to be gory, bold, or politically sharp. With Season 2 directly feeding into the finale of The Boys, every scene in the upcoming episodes will carry weight. Every move will push the narrative closer to its final showdown.
Whether or not Homelander appears in Gen V Season 2 remains unclear, but his shadow looms over every second of this world. And with power shifting rapidly and enemies rising from within, the next two seasons across both shows are going to deliver one of the most ambitious conclusions modern streaming television has seen.
