Gen V’s sophomore year is loading and it is going to be one hell of a bloody ride. The show’s first season lived up to the chaos standard of The Boys, taking us into the dark depths of Godolkin University. The Gen V finale left Marie, Jordan, Emma, and Andre locked in a strange hospital room. Meanwhile, Sam and Cate are the (very dangerous) new “Guardians of Godolkin.” We know the events in the Woods will play into The Boys season four but what’s next for these young supes?
Sadly, things have changed from the original plan following the tragic and untimely death of Chance Perdomo, who portrayed Andre in the show. We already know that his role will not be recast (more on that below) but The Boys creator/showrunner Eric Kripke gave us further insight in an Entertainment Weekly interview.
“So we had to almost rethink everything, and in just a matter of weeks,” said Kripke. “But what I tell people when they say ‘Wow, that’s really crazy or difficult’ [is] that pales in comparison to what his friends and loved ones are going through. It’s the least we could do,” he said.
Kripke says the show will honor Chance/Andre as the hero that he was onscreen and in real-life. We will have to see how the show does him justice.
Here’s everything we know about Gen V season two.
Gen V Season Two’s Plot
The plot for Gen V season two is currently unknown for a couple of reasons. First, the events of The Boys season four will have a direct effect on what’s to come for Marie and company. We know that Sam and Cate will show up at Vought and get into some awful supe business with Homelander and the new Seven collective. But we will have to wait and see what happens to characters like Marie, Jordan, Emma, and Victoria Neuman.
The tragic death of Chance Perdomo, who played Andre Anderson, is also affecting the script for obvious reasons. The actor died at age 27 on the same day the cast was set to reunite for table reads. Producers have confirmed that Perdomo’s role will not be recast and they are actively working on season two scripts to honor his legacy. We aren’t sure what direction the show will take with Andre Anderson at this time.
Behind-the-Scenes
Craig Rosenberg, Evan Goldberg, and Eric Kripke will continue in production roles alongside showrunners Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas. Production will begin in May 2024.
Gen V Season Two’s Cast
We can assume that Jaz Sinclair (Marie Moreau), Lizze Broadway (Emma Meyer/Cricket), Maddie Phillips (Cate Dunlap), Londor Thor and Derek Luh (Jordan Li), and Asa Germann (Sam Riordan) will all reprise their roles for season two.
Gen V Season Two’s Release Date
Gen V season two does not have a release date. But we can assume it will hit our screens sometime in 2025.
