Class is back in session and Gen V has finally returned for its long-awaited second season. The Prime Video superhero show will be released weekly on streaming. A spin-off of The Boys, the series was hit by tragedy and forced into a major cast change between season one and two. Plenty of faces from its parent show are also expected to show up in the coming episodes. Sign up for our brilliant NationalWorld newsletter – in your inbox Mon-Fri. Gen V is about to continue its second series in a matter of hours. But when can you watch it? After treating fans to a triple bill to start the season last week, Gen V will be dropping back down to just one episode per week from here on out. The fourth episode of season two will be released on Wednesday (September 24). Gen V is expected to have eight episodes in total in season two, the same as its first series. The Boys also has the same length for each of its four series so far. Prime Video is very, very, regular when it comes to the release time for its original shows and movies. The streaming giant actually has a pretty favourable schedule for viewers in the UK or Europe. Gen V will release its episodes at 8am British time, which is 9am CEST for those across the Channel. Back in its native America, the show will release at 3am ET/ 12am PT and will be waiting when viewers wake-up. Expect similar timings for all of the other episodes, unless otherwise specified. The show will be back with the vast majority of its major cast, but there is one tragic absence. Chance Perdomo is not in the second season, after he died before filming took place. Other members from The Boys are also expected to appear during the second season of Gen V. Midnight Mass star Hamish Linklater is one of the big additions for the new episodes, joining the main cast as Dean Cipher. The first season saw cameo appearances from Homelander and Billy Butcher. Gen V was rocked by the untimely death of one of its main stars, British actor Chance Perdomo, last year. The star was involved in a motorbike accident, while he was en route for filming on season two. He died from his injuries sustained in the crash. It caused a major change to the show with his character Andre Anderson being written out and not recast, out of respect for the actor. Following the dramatic end to its first season in late 2023, you might be wondering where the show could go from there. More characters from its parent show – The Boys – are expected to appear in the latest batch of episodes. A synopsis for Gen V series 2 from Prime Video reads: “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.” If you love TV, check out our Screen Babble podcast to get the latest in TV and film.
